What User doesn't like about Melbourne Central Lion Hotel:
Surely one of Melbourne's icons when it comes down to pool/sport/pub. It has a great spacious floorplan and it is still a very popular option across the city. We came here to enjoy a footy game and some beers, the options are plenty and the bartenders are lovely. The place is very noisy, but we weren't there to talk lol. Overall, it is a good place if you are after some footy and beer, not sure for dining and talking... View all feedback. What User likes about Melbourne Central Lion Hotel:
Popped in to see Dunkirk (wow) and then take in a meal before the Geelong/Carlton game. Asked one of the young bar waiters if they were showing the AFL tonight (lots of other sports events on TVs everywhere but no AFL). She had no idea what I meant. Asked another waiter, equally uninformed. Oh dear! Anyway, since match wasn't starting for 45mins, we ordered onion rings and parma for me, lamb shanks for the good lady.... View all feedback.

Under average food at a high price, the milk must move away from salads and vegan spices so that they stop getting milk in all

I tried the vegan cheeseburger and it was amazing !!! The tasting surprises me, close by the real cheese burger !
