Highlander Bar - Melbourne

I’ve been past this fine establishment too many times and I haven’t had the opportunity to stop. <br/ <br/ Well when in the area my partner and I called in for a pre dinner drink. The crowd appeared friendly enough and the service was alright too. <br/ <br/ This place has more specials than you can poke a stick at haha. They have daily food and drink specials meaning I’ll have to go back to check this out. <br/ <br/ I ordered a British/Scottish beer given that this pub had that theme but unfortunately a lot of the beers were local commercial. <br/ <br/ But I understand that they have a lot of scotch whiskey and a good Scottish beer that I tried. I’m definitely going back again just to try some of the food and maybe a tipple haha.

I was there for a trivia night, it’s a very quiet pub with close to no one! I think it’s because of the location. It’s actually a little too fancy for Scottish food. I really enjoy it though!

A cosy Melbourne lane way bar with some great Happy Hour deals. It wasn't to much so it was nice and quiet to catch up for a drink with mates.

Aye Blossom!<br/ <br/ The Highlander has that feel about it, where if you were in there at 3am back in 2001 you'd be a few pills deep and dancing with the lasers. But in 2018, during the day it masquerades as a burger joint with subtle Scottish themes. The burgers are of a very good standard. This is off the back of about three visits now and The Dear Luncher is always struck by how delicious the patties are. Juicy and flavoursome. Pink. The chilli sprinkled fries also go down a treat and for $15 you get all that AND a Heineken.<br/ <br/ There can be only one! 

Highlander is a rustic venue down Highlander Lane and I have come here a few times over the years for an after work drink. They have some very good happy hours in fact that has been the main reason we would go there... cheap and cheery. Up until last week the only food I had there was chips to accompany the drinking but came in for a mealpal lunch of the little **** burger with fries. This represented good value as part of the mealpal deal. The burger itself was had a ton of sauces but was your basic cheeseburger with pickles and perhaps a little too much mustard for my liking. No complaints about the chips. Certainly better burger spots in Melbourne but if it’s a cheap burger and a cheap beer this may be an option.
