If there has to be an example of a shoddily organised, badly run, poorly laid out pub tab, then the Grandview is it.  There is just not a redeeming feature to this place.  A big screen TV that has such a poor picture as to be unwatchable, the old guy at the ticket cue collecting his $3.50 win with 30 seconds to go before the Mackinnon, our seats being positioned over the cellar door meaning we had to move to beer to be refilled and a crowd full of blokes who looked like they were on their end of season footy trip but the best they could afford was Fairfield.

And this place is my local!!

There is just no point even reviewing this place - it is just consistently poor without being tragically comic in any way.  If you ever have any desire to stop there, don’t.  Just drive on.  2 km’s in either direction are other tragic pubtabs (The Tower going out of town or The Clifton Hill going in) but they at least have some soul.

Can you tell I didn’t have a collect for the afternoon?
