Staying near Victoria gardens in Abbotsford and looking for a pub close by with a decent pour… not saying the Terminus is bad but there must be more generous bartenders out there?

The Royston! It’s the best pub in that area by far. There’s some good breweries there too but I dunno what their wine selections are like.
head to the royston. way better vibes than termi and the pub menu is all killer with no filler. literally close your eyes and plonk your finger down anywhere on the page and you’ll get a FIRE meal.
You get what you pay for. Pay for double and get 2 serves.
National or Royston
If you want bigger serves just buy a bottle and pour it yourself
Melbournians go to the pub for wine lol
I know these as RSL pours.
It’s a standard pour mate
If you feel you have been wronged you can report a place to the regulator
Failing that, just go talk to the bartender? They’re getting paid like $26/hr, not enough to deal with whinging haha
Also Royston is a great pub
I generally don’t like the Terminus and will either go to the Royston or the National.
That being said, that looks like a pretty normal pour for a glass of wine.
Well a glass is usually only about 150ml. Maybe you’re better off ordering a bottle
Don’t go to AVC venues if you want wine, trust me
They are most likely pouring to the RSA measurement guidelines..I wouldnt risk the personal fine, only difference would be if there was an extra few spills that would have been silly putting the bottle back in the fridge for. But even then I would check if they were driving.
We went to mountain culture brewing nearby the other week, excellent selection, lovely venue, we would definitely go back!
Royston is the best venue in the area, the National probably second. There are a few good wine bars around as well (eg Cardwell Cellars) but they tend to be a bit pricier.
The Retreat is a great pub with a great pour
I am light drinker myself so appreciate places that pour “standard drinks” versus being too generous.
Hint: They use smaller glasses to make it look bigger

110ml of wine is about a standard drink, what did you want them to do?
Are you one of those that think a red wine glass is such only if filled to the brim? If you want to make the most out of alcohol just buy it and have it at home.
Welcome to the realization of how much a standard drink actually is. It’s less than you think
Don’t blame the bartender, they are pouring up to the mark they are told (start of the lettering). The venue (owner/manager) sets this mark, which is usually 150ml… though I would say this is closer to 125ml which a lot of venues pour. This is, however, usually stated on the ‘By the Glass’ list so they are not breaking any rules as it is stated.
Like other people have said, if you want a ‘decent pour’ split a bottle with someone else, which is almost always better value.
Gross, dude. Glug glug glug.
Don’t do by the glass.
Normally these glasses are designed to have an obvious point to pour to, but that is not a 150ml pour. Not a chance.
Maybe the 150ml mark is the top of the lettering rather than the bottom.
Don’t go to avc venues full stop

I miss the OLD Termi. $5 steak nights, Bingo, Max Crawdaddy onn the decks. Good times.
