6 people recommendvia r/melbourne7 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Hickens Hotel on Russell Street is recommended by many commenters, and two of them name it as the Arsenal spot. Another patron praises the fresh CUB draft range, including a rare Carlton Black, while one commenter relays that the venue's website says it hosts Arsenal and Manchester United supporter groups. The main caveats are that one commenter was not sure the venue still goes by the Hickens name, and one patron likes the screens for footy but is lukewarm on the drinks.
