Do they have a URL (I need to check the menu for veggie food, tho' I'm sure they'll have it...)?

Good Morning Melbourne!
YAY! Only 3 days to go, then we're on the plane!
Any more thoughts on the Expats Meet venue - what do people think of Bordy's Village People pub (or whatever it was called)?

So far, the following peeps have expressed an interest:
Anya & Mr Anya
Badge & Mrs Badge
The Booboos
Johanne
Bordy & Mrs Bordy & poss offspring
Caroline G & Hubby & babe
Jaykay & ???
That's about 14-20? people incl. kiddies if everyone comes along. Is there only one bar/restaurant, so at least we'll all go to the same place?
Do we need to book a table? If so, please could someone local do it? Maybe as 'The Expats Party' so we can all find each other - I don't know what any of you look like!
What about meeting there at 12:00 midday on Sat 8 May?
Look forward to meeting as many folk as can make it!
Anya.
