  • A young man with a moustache, drinking a red cocktail with a straw.
  • Two feet in white runners, one resting on an orange basketball.

Hickens Hotel

  • Bar
  • Pub

From cold beers in the Front Bar to golden hour sessions on the Rooftop, Hickens is your multi-level home for good times in the heart of Melbourne. Kick back with tank-fresh Carlton in the retro lounge, feast on pub classics, or turn things up at Abe’s Athletic Hall – arcades, sport, karaoke and all.

There’s a story behind these walls and it starts with Abe Hickens, the 1870's boxer-turned-legend who wasn’t afraid to break a few rules in this place.

A little history, a lot of fun.
