Sunday Roast at The Lincoln
Art Deco features aren’t the only things that distinguish The Lincoln from surrounding pubs.

Boasting a rotating menu of free-range chicken, pork, beef and lamb it’s a true Melbourne icon. $34 gets you all the trimmings plus extra gravy. Other specials are up for grabs for $25 from Monday to Saturday. Think slow-cooked pork belly or steak bavette.

Waterside lunch deals at Riverland Bar
Get out of the office and onto the sunny banks of the Yarra River for lunch with a view. Riverland Bar is dishing up $23 Monday to Friday lunch specials. You can choose from steak, schnitzel or a veggie burger. That beats a sad sandwich any day of the week!

Parma and pint night at The Leveson

Burger and trivia night at Fortress
The pub classic that’s always a winner. For a less-than-traditional experience, head on down to the medieval-inspired tavern at Fortress Melbourne.

Beers, pies and Sunday roast at Naughtons
What's better than a classic beef burger loaded with pickled onion, aioli, bacon and cheese? When it comes with a free beer, of course! Head to Naughtons, slam down a lunch burger and the crew will shout you a house beer (or wine, if you're feeling fancy). Other menu specials include curry night (Tuesday), steak night (Wednesday) and Sunday roast.

Feast on pub classics at The Carlton Club Hotel
