For over 150 years, the bluestone walls of this famed establishment have provided solace and sustenance to Melbournians and visitors alike. Now housing Captain Melville, it has become the destination for accessible dining, imbibing and revelry – all within Melbourne’s oldest public house.

Think pub food, done well. All food is sourced from ethical and sustainable Victorian Farmland producers of the region traversed by the rebel bushranger himself. The Menu focuses on communal, casual eating, with shared dishes, steaks, snacks, and of course, the pub classics – all using house-made ingredients where possible. Head chef, Mark Santos, who has earned his stripes at many iconic Melbourne establishments clearly presents his mission to create high quality food for all.

Leave the residue of your day in obscurity and escape the vices and follies of this transitory world we inhabit and receive the hospitalities of the fine folk of Captain Melville’s. Breathe Architects has collaborated with the National Trust to conduct the refit of the venue. The large communal dining hall offers seating for parties of many different sizes. At Captain Melville you will experience a pleasantly vivid recollection of dining and drinking as only the versatile and resourceful minds of Melbourne folk can provide.
