South Yarra pubs for an after-work beer and dinner

Make the first stop work for everyone

A steak sandwich is a useful middle ground when some mates want dinner and others are only staying for a drink. You’ll find it on those menus below, alongside the steak and beer prices, without having to plan the whole evening around happy hour.

For an early finish, a special can be handy. For the mate who’s always stuck at work, choose somewhere the regular menu also suits. That way dinner doesn’t depend on everybody arriving before the same offer ends.
