Spread Eagle Hotel

Overview

Better known as The Spready, this Richmond haunt is home to all your pub necessities. Come for a decent selection of beers, live music, Sunday trivia and a really great parma.

But unlike many other Melbourne pubs, the Spread Eagle Hotel doesn't just make a good parma and then leave it there. Instead, the kitchen pumps out a big mix of greasy eats and more refined dishes. Share some potato cakes, Korean fried chicken and beef sliders with your mates or try the melt-in-your-mouth braised lamb shank and the classic French coq au vin.

And don't miss the sweet treats that include a big slice of Basque cheesecake, a sticky date pudding (perfect for winter) and a classic affogato served with your choice of liqueur.

The Spread Eagle Hotel isn't reinventing the wheel, but it has nailed all the essential Melbourne pub elements.
