Garden State Hotel

  • Bar
  • Pub

Garden State Hotel is Victoria’s pub: a multi-level wonderland named after Victoria’s century-hold title ‘The Garden State’. Standing proudly on Flinders Lane, experience a vibrant community watering hole for all occasions. Made up of many nooks and lush green corners, each space offers a different mood – gather in the public bar and beer garden for after-work drinks and late-night sessions, wander down to Rose Garden for a basement cocktail, or visit Tippy Tay for a lively Italian dining experience.

Fancy a post-dinner drink? Discover the new-look Observatory, a moody after-dark lounge experience serving bespoke cocktails, small plates, and vinyl tunes. If it’s a Melbourne rooftop you’re looking for, head upstairs and relax in the brand-new Rooftop Garden, an inner-city oasis perched above all the action.

Made for Melbourne. Escape the ordinary at Garden State Hotel.
