Doutta Galla review while under the influence...

This is a place which I definitely underestimated. The food in Flemington is delicious but the pubs I don't expect to be fantastic. The pub with the name which I never know how to pronounce (I believe it is DOO-TA) is pretty damn fun! I went here tonight with one of my best friends... let's call her Sprinkles. I have been there two other times; once with my other best friend... let's call her Alice. The other with my boyfriend on a double date with Bashful and Miss Doc (not their real names). 

Well with Alice I stayed mostly outside because she smokes. We mainly drank wine but I did have a few cocktails. Even though the prices were a bit expensive in both wine and cocktail choices, they were both worth it.  We paid around $4 maybe $5 a glass of non-house wine and it wasn't bad. They have their own personal cocktails there and also have $9 mojito on Thursdays. I will be definitely coming back for that night.

Tonight with Sprinkles, we had some basic nachos to share as well as some jugs of Bulmers apple cider (which were around $19 a jug). The nachos were really delicious, the plate size was rather big, came within 15 min of us ordering and it filled us up. It should be noted we don't have small appetites so for something to fill us up says something. All of the bar staff were really friendly and enjoyed having a joke with us. The atmosphere is really chilled and it is one of those places you feel instantly comfortable in.

This is a really good place for a casual drinks, a top quality pub meal, listen/watch film clips of some great classic/vintage fun music or to watch any sporting event on (they had sports showing other than AFL! THEY HAD NRL SHOWING IT WAS AMAZING). If you are in the area and just want to enjoy the old fashion stylings of pubs in Melbourne; go to Doutta galla! They have restored it as it was in the 19th century.

Extremely easy to get to, the 57 Tram and the Craigieburn train line (Newmarket station) stop almost at the doorstep. There is also a taxi rank diagonal from the Doutta (right near the Tram stop for Newmarket plaza). 


That's my honest drunken review of the Doutta. You can't get more honest than a drunk person.
Oh and I love you guys, seriously, you guys are the greatest.
