The Age Cheap Eats 2008 "Who would've thought the once-divey Corner could sprout such a snazzy rooftop restaurant? Indoors is a split-level jumble of tables under a big TV; outdoors the atmospheric beer garden makes a virtue of the hulking train overpass metres away"

The Age Larissa Dubecki, 24-5-2007 "The Corner has now shed its reputation as a rotten old pub - albeit one with great music - that has attracted a who's who of indie-leaning local and international bands. The new timber and steel rooftop bar gives a killer view of the trains rumbling through Richmond station."

The Age Michael Harden, 23-4-2007 "the Rooftop Bar at Richmond's Corner Hotel. Legendary as a band venue, the Corner Hotel can add another feather to its cap by boasting the city's best urban views. Not only do you get the CBD lightshow from the pub's roof, you get it framed in quintessential big-city style by the metal framework of an elevated railway. Even better, trains rattle past at eye level, pulling in and out of Richmond Station, complementing the urban vibe."

The Age Cheap Eats 2007 "You may have spent time glued to the Corner's sticky carpet watching your favourite bands. Now there's a new headlining act: the indooroutdoor rooftop restaurant with a sound-and-light show provided by the skyline and rumbling trains (very noir)."
