Railway Hotel, SOUTH MELBOURNE, VIC

The last time I came past this pub it was closed, but that could be because it was either being renovated (as is happening with a number of pubs around the place) or it was simply closed over the New Years break (which is quite odd for a pub). However, this time it wasn't closed, so I stopped by for a beer (which was always going to happen). It was quite fortuitous that it was happy hour when I arrived, which meant pints for half-price, so I ended up getting a Coopers Pale Ale (though there were quite a few other fine beers available). There was quite a nice beer garden out the back, though half the tables were reserved for special people, and the rest were occupied. Fortunately I could sit on the edge of the garden. There were also a couple of really cool looking chairs inside.
