About The Cricketers Port Melbourne

The Cricketers (originally Cricketers Arms Hotel) is a historic neighbourhood pub, built in 1873 by Thomas McCormack and now lovingly run by the Schreuder family.

Known locally as the “hole in the wall,” it hides off the main drag and delivers a relaxed, intimate pub experience.

Multiple dining settings: cosy Brasserie with fireplace, formal Dining Room, and a weather-proof Courtyard ideal year-round.

Happy hour weekdays typically runs 4–6 PM with $5 pots, and weekly rotating menu themes like steak night on Wednesdays.

The menu blends pub classics, local seafood, and chef’s specials, including fish & chips, house parma, porterhouse steak, share plates, small plates, salads, and even creative desserts like a fruit-loop sundae.

Drinks: well-curated wine list (average $13–14 per glass), classic beers like Stone & Wood, Guinness, Carlton Draught, plus cocktails and a gin garden in summer.
