Had lunch there, quick service.  Cute atmosphere. Good cocktail. Chicken parm was too heavy for me for lunch but tasty

Happening pub. Busy. Book if you can. Lots of specials. Order via QR code on table. Quick service.
Steak & Parma night tonight. It's hard to beat!

Great pub with lots of different areas / spaces and the circular booths are cool. Have had the chook roll and was very tasty, steak on the steak night recently didn't seem to be a great cut tho. Booth we were in had cushion with a big section ripped / missing. Great staff and service

Myself and my husband came to Prahran Hotel for steak night last Tuesday while on holiday and had a wonderful evening. We were delighted to get a table as it almost at full capacity. The steaks were delicious with the service to match. Although it was clearly a very busy evening, the staff were very attentive and friendly especially the Irish girls who were well mannered, kind and bubble towards us. We will definitely return on our next trip to Melbourne!

Very fun interior and good food. Can’t complain. Also the portions are huge!

Under The Half Pipe

The Prahran Hotel's Garden Bar is a sight to behold. That's a phrase&nbsp;bandied around a little excessively, but here it's completely apt. The newly constructed,&nbsp;glass-encased, multi-space&nbsp;garden bar is a marvel of modern design - huge concrete pipes and industrial features sit alongside greenery and wooden boards. It's a balance of old and new, natural and manufactured.&nbsp;There's also enough room for 200 guests, so it's great for both small groups of friends getting together for an after work drink, as well as sprawling launch parties and office-wide celebrations.&nbsp;

Entire Venue

With a perfect mix of indoor & outdoor space, the Garden Bar can be hired for groups of 100-200 guests. It comes with a private bar, courtyard, dance floor & the signature Prahran Hotel pipes. Alternatively, smaller semi-private spaces are available to suit casual
birthdays, after work catch ups & relaxed networking. 


The Garden Bar

Overlooking the striking courtyard below is the glamorous Upton Bar, a premier events room located upstairs at Prahran Hotel. The dazzling bar merges bold architecture with lush hanging greenery & warm pendant lighting to provide the ideal location for special occasions including cocktail weddings, corporate events, private parties for up to 130 guests, or seated celebrations for 40 guests.
 
The Upton Bar comes equipped with private entrance, bar & bathrooms,
adjoining lounge room with booth seating, full AV capabilities for speeches, DJ &
presentations, plus a dance floor & courtyard.

The Upton Bar

The Prahran Hotel's Private Dining Room is a stylish area for dining (of course), and meetings. The Private Dining Room is less otherworldly and out there in its design than the Garden Bar, so it's well-suited to intimate occasions and button-down board meetings. The walls are blue though, so the Private Dining Room does still bear a chunk of the Prahran Hotel's striking character. 

Room 1 seats 11 guests, Room 2 seats 20 guests or combine the rooms to seat 32 guests. Both rooms come with banquette seating, disabled access, air-conditioning, feature lighting, a decorative fireplace, TV & full table service.
