A real barfinder crew favorite, "The Belgian" is a beer drinkers' dream. It has a range of Belgian beers, both on tap and in bottle. Spirits and domestic beers are available, but be prepared to be talked out of your choice by the enthusiastic and friendly staff.
The crowd is quite varied, with a broad section of society on show. You're unlikely to see so many people of both genders all drinking beer in any other venue.
More recently an outdoor bar has been set-up, often complemented by a live jazz band on weekends in Summer, which has proved an outstanding success for a bar that many thought couldn't get any better.
Cheers!

5/5 heathcote - 27/05/06 its a must if you are into your beers and they have a great selection. Summer is MAD. 5/5 pompous pete - 26/05/06 Noooooooooo! Not another venue catered for the I.T geeks of the world!
Stay away....too many nerds in suits. 1/5 dekorde - 08/03/06 Without doubt the best beer garden in Melbourne, cant go past the BBC for a sunday session 4/5 Sarah - 27/09/05 Jazz on a sunny Sunday on the front lawn does not get much better... But as good beer gardens are few and far between in Melbourne, expect it to be packed. 5/5 Ross - 05/02/04 I like the Belgian but they get angry when you throw their coasters and swing their lamps. They could also be more accomodating when you sit at a table and don't order food. That being said, I've dropped enough money there to erase the national debt of Chad. Peace Out. 4/5
