Partystar Review

This great uni pub has had a few close shaves but has found itself in the warm embrace of RMIT's city campus.

It has a huge central bar accessible to the front and back areas, and the rear atrium. Decor is cool and industrial, with interesting geometric details, a curved bar and some rustic touches like exposed brick. It is perfect for the students, locals and CBD workers who frequent it.
