    I’d love to keep Fleet a secret just so I can always have a quiet spot to watch the people on the streets below as I work my way through their menu - both food and drinks. The staff make going to Fleet an experience. It’s more than a bar and the place you go to impress someone. If you want something different and quality over quantity this is the place to go.

    We booked a package for the AFL Grand Final that included bottomless drinks throughout the game and shared food platters. Our table was perfectly positioned right in front of the big screen, giving us an excellent view. With table service as part of the deal, our drinks kept coming, and the service was fantastic. The food kept arriving as well—so much so that we had to ask them to stop bringing out platters because we couldn’t finish it all! The atmosphere was enjoyable, not overly crowded, and the crowd had a great mix of ages. We’ll definitely be back for next year’s Grand Final if we don’t manage to get tickets to the game!
