THERE IS A QUIET SPACE!!! It's still very much part of the pub, but it's a little corner that is a bit quieter. Mention this space when booking!!!

🏃 Safety for children who might run:

The pub is located on a side street in Williamstown which does not have heavy traffic. 

Review by Carmel: 

"This little gem could not have been more accommodating. The staff are fabulous, good natured people who take pride in their good service. That salt and pepper calamari was beautifully salt and peppery too (if you know, you know!)"

There is plenty of room inside the brewery. It's a family friendly establishment, but it is at the end of a day a bar with some good food. 

Review by Carmel:

"You can not go wrong with beer and pretzels. Having managed to try ALL of the beers on tap, I can say with steadfast certainty they make a damn fine beer. A great place to take the family for a chill lunch or dinner."

Brilliant. There is plenty of room to run outside. The beach is fenced off for safety and there is a playground!!

Review by Jason:

"I really like this pub. The food was very good. There was a place for my brother and sister to run around."

Notes from the carer: 

"I wish I was able to eat my pavlova or even take a photo of it- my daughter ATE it before I got a chance! I love that the Altona Sports Club is very family friendly with a decent feed for all and PLENTY of safe space for the kids to run."

Let them know when you are booking. There is a wheelchair friendly door that can be used, but the usual wine bar entrance has a handful of stairs.

NOPE. Busy city street. I'd politely suggest to leave this place for older children who are foodies. 

Review by Maryann: 

"No matter how long between visits, the European NEVER disappoints. It's a Melbourne institution for those in the know, not those who are all about social media cachet."

Big felt blocks to stack, run and jump on out the back!

Though Alfa is close proximity to Yarraville train station and the Sun Theatre carpark, there is plenty of room to run around outside under the trees on a nice day! 

Review by Jason: 

"The burger bun is delicious. The chicken is crunchy and very tasty. It's a winner!"

Notes from the carer: 

"Was lovely to sit outside under the trees. I didn't know the main entrance was on Anderson Street until recently. We always walk in through the carpark so we can sit outside."

Situated on a very busy St Kilda street, I'd not recommend here for runners. 

Review by Jason: 

"The food is decent. The hot wings were very good. I would go back for those hot wings." 

Notes from the carer: 

"The staff were extremely accommodating, but let's talk about the food. I tried a cactus taco, it was epic! If you are a herbivore, this place is a must try."

There is lots of space in the Bistro and a skill tester near the back. I'd call it ok, but not perfect. 

Review by Carmel: 

"I was really surprised! Club Laverton is in no way fancy, but the meals are decent, well priced and the staff are wonderful. THIS is now my go to pub feed location."
