Half Moon

Half Moon on Church Street in Brighton is a hip pub built around a timber bar and rustic-chic decor, serving pub classics like chicken parma alongside steak and seafood. Reviewers highlight regular meal specials, an AFL tipping competition, and a stylish dining area that works for both solo visits and group bookings.

Staff are repeatedly described as professional and attentive, with the owner responding personally to reviews. The bar area can get loud when sport is showing on the screens, which some reviewers enjoy and others find a bit much.

It's a solid all-rounder pub for a casual meal, a few drinks, or watching the footy with a crowd.
