Young & Jackson

  • Heritage listed
  • Bar

Young and Jackson is one of Melbourne’s oldest hotels. A combination of boutique bar and classic pub, it’s the perfect place to meet for a drink and a meal, or watch sports on the big screen.

The pub has been the flagship hotel for Australia's most exciting beers since opening in 1861. The main bar boasts 27 beers and three ciders on tap, including boutique brews.

In the adjoining Y&J's Cafe, you can enjoy a coffee, brunch, light meal or pub-style lunch and dinner.

Head upstairs to Chloe’s Restaurant and Lounge for casual dining with a unique view of the busy city streets below. The menu’s focus is modern Australian with an emphasis on fresh local produce.

A tasty tapas menu is also served in Chloe’s Bar, home of the pub's famous nude 'Chloe' portrait.

With its rooftop cider bar, Young and Jackson makes an ideal place to spend a summer evening – or keep warm in winter with a mulled cider.
