Mountain View Hotel

Rooftop terrace is fantastic, only thing better is the security guard who collected our empties and helped us deliver our shots always with a smile on his face

It’s a nice looking pub in a great location. Last pub on bridge road heading to the MCG. Rooftop bar has a great view of the city.
On the bad side, very expensive beer and the upstairs rooftop beer is full of man bun flogs. You can walk past it at night and is virtually empty. The bar is right in the middle of the sports bar with so many different sets of steps which is annoying when carrying drinks.
The roof top bar is nice but the steps up to it are pretty dangerous, especially after a few frothies.
Instead of this pub you are better off going to the London tavern on Lennox for a beer and a feed.

Ah, the Mt View, perched atop Richmond hill on Bridge Road. A classic footy pub with a classic pub menu and generous (read: HUGE) sized meals.
It’s not the fanciest place around, but the rooftop bar, «A Bar Above», has an incredible view of the city, especially at sunset, so it’s worth the trek upstairs.
Book a table on game days if you are planning on eating as it can get quite busy, although not as busy as other Swan St establishments down the hill.
The chicken Parma is huge, in fact, you could almost share it, but unfortunately the husband never wants to! They have special meal deals on most nights of the week (think Parma night, burger night and fish and chips night) plus trivia too.
All in all a solid local pub.

I had a function here recently and it was an amazing night. The manager Jaymes was brilliant, attentive and always kept me informed to what was going on throughout the night. Food was tasty and drinks reasonably priced. The only downside was the bartender for the function, she was very unenthusiastic and would tell anyone who listened how hung over she was, aside from that I would not hesitate to recommend mt view to anyone looking for a function venue.
The rooftop is simply amazing, with views of all of Melbourne. There is nothing better than sitting up there on a beautiful sunny day and enjoying life.

So a friend and I started coming here about a year ago during winter because on Wednesday nights they had $ 10 ‘Parmageddon’. This has since risen to $ 12 but whatever its still cheap meat.
I probably wouldnt come back here for any other reason though. The bar/​restaurant is in this interesting old building has not one but THREE sports TV’s around the dining area. Its basically a fancy sports pub that appeals to that crowd. There is a mix between mature couples, blokes, knock off work drinks/​dinner and uni students.
The restaurant has a split level mezzanine and interesting architectural detail which sadly has been covered in plasmas and generic furnishings. There is a rooftop bar which I have admittedly never ventured up to (too cold during winter). If youre around the area and enjoy sport and meat, two big thumbs up.

With 4 floors that a combine bistro, pub and rooftop beer garden, The Mount View is a short walk from the MCG and is one of the last pubs you’ll come across on your way to the footy.
The rooftop bar looks out over Melbourne and has a great view, whilst inside the feel is definitely that of a standard bistro.
We had the risotto, and although it included 4 different types of mushrooms, it was watery and bland, needing generous additions of salt and pepper to add flavour.
The pizza is good value, with a thick base and caramelized onions and feta giving a different spin to your usual pub vegetarian option, however the oil oozing from the topping could start a car.
A good selection of beer is available on tap, so I’d recommend this place for a quick bowl of chips and few pots before heading to the footy, but not for dinner.
One draw card is the trivia they host on Tuesday Nights. With the gang from Quiz Meisters at the helm, you’re in for a fun filled night every time.
