Central Club Hotel - North Melbourne 0 Likes

Central Club Hotel in North Melbourne is a beautifully restored, heritage-listed pub with a bold, modern design that still embraces its storied past.

The pub recently underwent an extensive two-year, multimillion-dollar renovation, thoughtfully preserving original elements like jarrah timber and vintage tiles while integrating contemporary touches such as an Art Deco quartz horseshoe bar.

The basement bar, called The Depot, is the former keg room, now serving as a jewel-toned whisky lounge and cocktail bar.

What it offers

• Beer & Wine: The pub’s drink list is almost exclusively Australian, from lesser-known beer and wine producers like Thick As Thieves, Rouleur, and Thistledown, to Guinness as a nod to its Irish past.
• Spirits & Cocktails: Cocktails highlight local spirits such as Archie Rose and Marionette Liqueur (amaretto and curacao), along with non-alcoholic Lyre’s options.
• Bistro: The menu merges modern Australian and Italian-inspired pub fare, hand-rolled pastas, premium steaks sourced from the nearby market (like Hagen’s Organics), chicken parmigiana, fish & chips, and vegan options such as pumpkin steak and vegan chocolate mousse.
• Gaming Lounge: Pokies and Bar games. Watch live sports and bet at TAB.
• Hotel: The venue includes micro hotel rooms upstairs.
