About Railway Club Hotel

Melbourne carnivores hop the 109 tram down to Port Melbourne for dry-aged beef without the white-tablecloth stiffness. The dining room pairs sports memorabilia with an on-site dry-ageing cabinet, setting a laid-back backdrop for serious butchery. Floor staff skip the rehearsed spiels—they ask what cuts you normally lean toward before steering you across the blackboard, whether that means a Cape Grim ribeye or a Pure Black Wagyu porterhouse hitting an MB6+ marbling score. Before the steak lands with hand-cut chips, locals order the chicken liver parfait and a bowl of chilli mussels, letting the waitstaff uncork and decant bottles from an expansive cellar list.

  • Butcher-Style Selection: Waitstaff tailor cuts to individual guest preferences, while the dining room features an on-site dry-ageing meat cabinet.
  • Premium Sourced Steaks: Standouts include Pure Black Wagyu porterhouse rated MB6+, Cape Grim cuts, and Bass Strait eye fillet.
  • Decanted Wine List: A comprehensive, fairly priced cellar list with attentive table-side bottle decanting.
  • Notable Starters & Sides: Classic starters like rich chicken liver parfait and steaming chilli mussels accompany hand-cut chips.
  • Historic Pub Atmosphere: Sporting memorabilia and warm hospitality combine the ease of a suburban local with serious steakhouse standards.
