Northcote Social Club

Pub dining$

A live music institution has no business serving food this good, but the glossy braised lamb shank, two-hander burgers and buttery chicken kiev are as much a drawcard as who’s on stage. From the Corner Hotel crew, this rollicking stomping ground brings together old rockdogs and young families alike. On weekdays, make a beeline for $20 lunch specials.
