Swanston Street & Flinders Street, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia
Pub
•Young and Jackson is Melbourne’s most iconic hotel, located opposite the landmark steps of Flinders Street Station. Our pub keeps a watchful eye on the busiest part of Melbourne’s CBD, and looks over Federation Square on to the MCG and beyond. A heritage listed building, having been established in 1861, Young and Jackson has been beautifully restored and refurbished over the years to bring together a blend of boutique bar and a traditional pub. Home to the infamous, Chloe, she is a Melbourne icon, mascot for the HMAS Melbourne, an extremely fine work of art; she is an ingénue, a nymph, a celebrity. She is Chloe, the famous nude portrait which has graced the walls of the Young and Jackson Hotel since 1909.







⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Young & Jackson – Historic Melbourne Icon Young & Jackson is a true Melbourne classic. Full of history, character, and great atmosphere, it’s one of those pubs that everyone should visit at least once. Right across from Flinders Street Station, it’s the perfect spot for a drink and a dose of old Melbourne charm. The famous “haunted” stories add to the fun – you can definitely feel the heritage and age in the building, with creaky floors and that slightly eerie vibe in certain corners. Whether you’re here for the history, the legends, or just a good pub experience, it never disappoints. A must-visit for locals and visitors alike! 🍻👻
T bone steak was tremendous. Very well prepared. Only minor hiccup in my opinion was the lack of sides. The fish chips were great as well, juicy and fresh. Oh, no chili sauce in a steakhouse which served fries seems kinda silly. Well if anyone of the management read this, they know what to do. Service by the staff was tremendous. Would certainly come again.
Went there for a prepaid Christmas lunch ( $60) which included a glass of wine a choice of main course and a choice of one of two desserts. We arrived at 12:30 and got no food until 2:00 p.m. The choice of a main course was no choice at all. The only option was turkey plus or minus ham. The turkey wasn't natural turkey. It was a couple of slabs highly processed meat that was supposed to resemble Turkey and quite disgusting. The cranberry sauce was some sort of weird jam that was unpleasant. They drizzled what tasted like gravox gravy on the turkey. The dessert was a choice between an unpleasant sticky date putting that tasted previously Frozen and an odd concoction that was supposed to be tiramisu. Also unpleasant but not quite as bad as the turkey. I felt this meal was particularly terrible and the only reason why I did not give it a one star was the venue was a quite pleasant environment
Well …. “DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!” .. What a magnificent heritage hotel , four floors of an era gone by , and extremely popular with the locals … drinks. Meals , including some excellent deserts …. And location. Straight opposite Flinders Station 👍👍👍
Lunch in an upstairs dining room today for a special event. Loved the room itself which looks straight across to Flinders Street station. The food was a bit hit and miss, sadly. The bread and olive oil to start was lovely. The fried squid for entree was very nice too. The porterhouse for main was VERY ordinary, though. I asked for medium rare, but I got overdone and rubbery instead. Many people around me ordered the same steak and they got what I got. It was exceptionally ordinary, almost like the chef had no idea how to cook steak properly. At least the gravy, mash and carrots were ok. Despite the poor steak, service was good throughout and the staff did well managing such a large group. The wine list was nice here too. Overall, it was a nice event despite the poorly cooked steak
