Network Public Bar and Pizzeria

When need to wait for a regional train, well a pub in station helps! Pint of craft beer and AFL final on big screen nice. Spacious venue with satisfied crowd. Better than chilly platform.

A great find!!! As we were staying close by always on the lookout for somewhere decent. As we were catching trains I noticed this place. We called in on a Sunday evening. Prices for a glass of house white and a pint of beer were the best we came across. We had a decent meal. The staff were excellent and friendly. We returned on the Monday. It was Happy Hour!!! $10 for a glass of wine and a schooner of beer!! Unbelievable in Melbourne. We had another meal. I fully recommend the Calamari. We talked to the owner. He makes it a condition that the staff are friendly and helpful.

This bar is located beside the platform 2 at Southern Cross Station. I called in for a Friday lunch and had a capricossia pizza. Pizza was quite average. I have visited several times during their $5 schooner happy hour which is great value. Good selection of beers as well as wines on offer. Mostly quite a busy venue. I enjoy sitting at the window facing the VLine platforms and people and train watch.

I met up with a friend for drinks before he had to catch his train. We decided to order 2 pizzas to go for $36. However, we ended up waiting by the door for an hour for their electronic buzzer to go off. When a staff member finally asked why we were waiting, I showed him the buzzer and he realized that our order had been misplaced. I had to catch a train, so I returned the buzzer and left without my order. It was a frustrating experience and I lost $36, but I will chalk it up to a lesson learned about Network Pizza. I won't be going back there again. Solidarity!

Found this great bar in Southern Cross Station to watch some Rugby . Simple menu of burgers, pizza and Palma’s . Great choice at the bar for drinks with beer on tap etc . Sadly we had a glass of there house Shiraz and it was horrible . So that is the only thing I don’t recommend . Maybe try there Cab Sav or Merlot . Not sure if it’s better but we will be back to give it a go . Apart from bad Shiraz, it was a warm, filling experience .
