The Merrywell
Fun, yet daring with a twist

Sharing is caring at The Merrywell, with American duo Sammy De Marco and Grant MacPherson bringing their casual American cuisine to Melbourne's Crown Casino.

 

Paying homage to their American roots, this merry gastro pub is a tribute to cool burgers, old school faves re-invented and more.

Dishes are designed for sharing across two levels of expansive dining spaces. Upstairs, you'll find table service, sitting room style nooks and an outdoor balcony with city views. Downstairs, a burger bar serves up as the name suggests, burgers. This is real dude food!

Add a DJ on deck spinning tunes, good times are on tap at the Merrywell.

With Americanised fare gaining popularity in Melbourne, this pub is a destination for all things delicious - with flavours you will remember. Reserve your seat today!

Heading out west, check out The Merrywell Perth, the newest addition to the ever increasing plethora of restaurants at Crown Perth.
 
Eat: There are several menus on offer with the upstairs dinner menu sampled on this occasion.  Select from grazing plates (for 2 or more), salads, pub grub or something from the grill. The fish (rockling) and (skinny) chips with tartar sauce ($28) is beer battered and oven baked with love. The Angus pub burger with pork belly, egg and lemon aioli ($26), is more of an over sized open sandwich. Nevertheless it will take a mean feat to get your gob around it for the first bite. A side of Merrywell chips or french fries wouldn't go astray.

For the KAPOW factor, allow 40 minutes and go the caveman 1200g aged rib-eye, wet aged (for 2) served with crisp onion rings and house steak sauce ($99). The Fred Flintstone portion of meat is presented to you at the table, dinosaur bone and all, before being taken away for plating up.

Drink: The novel 1-2 lt jugs of sangrias ($30-45) are something to been seen and tasted.
