The Gasometer - Kurunjang

I LOVE THIS PUB! We came in on a Wednesday night when Living End were playing and despite not actually going to the gig, we soaked up some of the atmosphere and stayed in for the current resident chef/butcher team: Meat me Here. Service was awesome and the team are super friendly and chilled. If you’re able to get in and try some of the Meat me Here fare while they’ve taken over the kitchen I highly recommend it!Great spot for a midweek special (Wing Wednesdays! or a weekend session. Get around this joint for sure.

The menu is very small and a bit of a mix and match of food. I must say that the pork ribs were actually kinda nice. Simple pub but more than does the job.

I recently found myself at the Gasometer doing Beyoncé dance classes in the room at the back they often have music gigs in (random). There was an hour break between the two classes I had booked in to so I lounged around the dining room and tucked into a parma which was absolutely huge and unbelievably filling (I struggled in that second class let me tell you). Affectionately nicknamed the 'Gaso ' there 's actually a strong sense of atmosphere inside and interior wise it 's all things beautiful brickwork, stained glass windows and chandeliers. An accidental find but a friendly pub with decent food and lots of happy hipsters

A Thursday night at the Gaso and for some reason there's sport on the screen.  I'm considering that for some time now our whole culture has been moving as toward a catastrophe, with a tortured tension that is growing from decade to decade: restlessly, violently, headlong, like a river that wants to reach the end. . . . <br/ <br/ With that in mind I thought I best order a drink to numb the pain of the days tortures and find some modicum of hope at the bottom of my glass.  The barkeeps here are always gentlemen and women of the highest order, it's a shame they are chained to a rock that's spinning in an endless vacuum.<br/ <br/ They say your soul leaves your body as you die and that alcohol is like chicken soup for the soul.<br/ <br/ If I had a soul I would want it to leave my body, full of alcohol and escape through the retractable roof at The Gasometer.<br/ <br/ What a glorious place.<br/ <br/ facebook dot com /theurbannihilist

Gas-Light Izakaya Collingwood is a collaboration between The Gasometer Hotel and Northern Light. The Gasometer Hotel dates back to the 1800s and has been through a few incarnations in its time. Since current owners Clint Fisher (Retreat Hotel) and Shan Vanderwert (The Post Office Hotel) took over in 2014, they’ve been running it as a pub with a band room featuring independent local bands. It feels like a proper pub, the kind of pub that seems to be disappearing from Melbourne.
