I had an amazing time at The Duke of Wellington rooftop bar. The views of Melbourne are stunning, and the atmosphere is perfect for a relaxed evening out. The drinks were great, and the service was friendly and attentive. It’s a fantastic spot to unwind with friends or enjoy a casual drink with a view.

✨ Summer Rooftop Dining ✨ Established in 1853, The Duke of Wellington is Melbourne’s oldest licensed pub, serving a variety of satisfying pub meals. It features various seating options, perfect for intimate gatherings or enjoying refreshing views from the rooftop. We had: 🥩 Chargrilled Lamb Rump $48 🍝 Queensland Prawn & Chorizo Linguini $37 🥧 Lamb Pie $32 🍰 Lemon Curd Tiramisu $12 🍮 Crème Brulee $12 I haven’t visted many pubs for dining and was pleasantly surprised how delicious the meals were. The Chargrilled Lamp Rump had a robust charred burn flavour with a pink center, complemented by a light celeriac remoulade salad dressed in mustard and a crisp watercress salad. The serving of linguini was exceptionally generous, cooked al dente and tossed with chili, garlic butter, lemon, olive oil, and herbs. The pangrattato (Italian breadcrumbs) provided an additional layer of texture and the prawns were bouncy and plentiful. The Lamb Pie was the dish that excited me the most, and it definitely lived up to expectations. The meat was tender, soaked in a rich red wine sauce, all wrapped in a flaky, biscuit-like pastry. The creamy mashed potatoes and peas offered a great contrast in texture, while the gravy enhanced the overall dish. We ended with a Lemon Curd Tiramisu, a delightful blend of sponge and cream with a zesty kick, and a rich, creamy Crème Brûlée.

Have been here a few times and it’s a go to for when we’re craving a Parma. I also love the halloumi chips and recommend going up top for some cute booths and tables with a bit of a view.

Favorites: Beef Roll and Rump It is one of the oldest pubs in downtown Melbourne. However, it has been recently renovated. The food is really great and they have a vast selection of beers.

We had a minor issue regarding our food order. One item was missing, but it was truly not that bad of an issue. Will was fantastic at resolving the issue in a timely and efficient manner, even giving me a complimentary drink while I waited for my order. I would highly recommend the venue purely based on customer service.
