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.

Highlander is certainly pumping on a Friday for after works drinks. So pumping that if you come here for a casual bite and drink, you might struggle to find somewhere to sit. But once those suits and business people skid-addle, it is a nice place to be. It's dark, very dimly lit with a few tealights on tables. The floor is sticky, that's to be expected. It's cool though, with feels of a pub in the U.K. that you want to visit. Despite the strong recommendations of how good their burgers are, we opted for more of a share meal, ordering the Mac N Cheese Balls and Panko Chicken. The cocktails were good, the food was filling. It was exactly what we would expect to eat, a hearty savory meal paired with cocktails. It's probably one of those venues that's lunch time- you eat and evening time- you drink. There's nothing wrong with that. Do: Come here for their lunch specials. A Burger and a beer for $15- YES! Do: Plan a Happy Hour here, every single weekday from 5-7pm. Do: Sign up to be part of their Highlander Klan. The perks are worth it!

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The cocktails were delicious and the atmosphere was cool and relaxed, perfect for unwinding after work. Located in a hidden laneway, Highlander Lane is a trendy bar with a menu that offers some unique twists to try. There are plenty of drink and food specials to choose from and a range of professionals and other relaxed patrons from the surrounding offices. It's a great spot to meet up with friends of all ages. I stumbled upon this gem while traveling to Melbourne and it was definitely a happy discovery.
