The Metropolitan Hotel

  • Bar
  • Pub

The Metropolitan Hotel is a historic landmark located in the west end of Melbourne's central city area. Having opened its doors as a local hotel and pub back in 1854, today it stands as a revitalised three-storey hospitality venue. Each floor provides a fantastic, unique experience, from the spacious ground floor bar, to the soon-to-be opening club on the first floor, all the way up to the rooftop bar featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a stunning wrap-around veranda.

Come in and enjoy hearty meals featuring Aussie pub classics and internationally influenced plates, while pairing them with a distinguished list of sommelier-selected wines and great selection of beers, including Guinness.

With daily deals, happy hour, trivia nights, bottomless brunch, and fantastic open spaces, you can celebrate any occasion! From birthdays and engagements to christenings and weddings, there are spaces to suit all events.
