Live music, generous meals and a relaxed atmosphere is what keeps locals coming back to the Metropolitan pub in the heart of Bendigo. Refresh with a beer or unwind with a glass of wine and soak up friendly surrounds either inside or out, lingering over a meal with family or staying to watch the latest sports matches in an inviting lounge area. While kicking back with pre-dinner drinks, graze over tapas and share plates such as soft shell tacos, before discovering Chef’s selections like the 4 point lamb rack with an almond and herb crust. For the ravenous, find gourmet burgers like the chorizo burger with a house made beef pattie with hints of chorizo, goat’s cheese, Spanish onion and mesculin, finishing with a sweet dessert of dough nut balls served with a caramel and chocolate sauce.
