Partystar Review

The iconic National Hotel, located on Richmond's bustling Victoria Street, is a place for locals and far-flung travellers to come together in a community-minded space, where the staff are always proud to serve and the atmosphere is heady with good vibes.

The National has five nooks and spaces for guests to relax and dine: the café, the booth seating, the den, the dining room and the courtyard/beer garden. Out in the beer garden large tables line the timber deck, and the scene is set with hanging lamps in amber glass bottles bolstered across the courtyard, providing a twist on the Chinese lantern. Winterphobes need not fear, the transeasonal courtyard has an undercover area with heating, plus a ping-pong table and view of the night sky for the summer months.

The pan-Asian menu pays heed to their ‘Little Vietnam' location, providing expertly crafted pub dishes. Both small and large share plates are available, as well as delicious bar snacks for grazing, burgers (because it is a pub after all) and desserts.
