Rising Sun Hotel

A pub with no pokies, a place with working class soul, a home to some of the characters writ large in the lore of Richmond. Friendly and safe — with respectful locals and staff the food is good quality with a specials board that turns up treats, a menu with options galore. Every day sees a different $ 15 meal option: Monday — porterhouse steak; Tuesday and Friday — steak sandwich and pot; Wednesday and Saturday — burger with the lot and pot; Thursday and Sunday — chicken parma and pot. 6 Televisions in the public bar with sports on all the time, music playing pretty much all the time; the Bistro with bookable tables, the beer garden for lazy summer days and nights; fully serviced TAB if the punt is your thing. It’s fun during footy season and happy when the tiges are winning.
Folk from all walks of life are made welcome and you can generally drum up a conversation if you want one, bring mates along for a session or drop in for a pre-​arranged pub crawl stop, or hire out the bistro or beer garden for a function.
If you like good old fashioned pub culture like I do — call through and enjoy. Worth a look.

Good for a beer, a bet or a great feed. Try the chicken parmigiana with chips, it’s bloody beautiful.

Despite just being your regular ol’ pub, the Rising Sun has a strong following amongst our Melbournian celebrities due to its location to certain radio and television stations. However, don’t expect anything too exciting unless you’re impressed by older men in sports broadcasting.
But moreso than that, and I’ve said this before, I love an old man pub and the Rising Sun is just that in a nutshell.
The beer is cold, the chips are hot and the TV’s are ON. Don’t you dare come here and order any such ‘cocktail’ nonsense… Ge yourself a pot, a parma and settle in for a relaxing night of telly, a bet on the dogs or maybe even a few games of pool.
