The iconic Prince Alfred Carlton has been a hub of Carlton life since 1926, and after a short closure and an impressive facelift, the 500-person space is back with an incredible rooftop bar and terrace as the cherry on top. No longer a rough and ready pub for students, the Prince Alfred Hotel has been rejuvenated with a quirky interior inspired by British Royalty combined with an array of floral and botanical elements. It’s elegant, fun and the place to go when you want to feel like royalty on a pauper’s budget. The menu features all of your favourite pub classics, plus the added bonus of a rotating container kitchen featuring tasty treats from the likes of Mr Burger, Belles Hot Chicken and more.

Reviews for Prince Alfred Carlton
Amilliah
lots of parking available around and near the pub. we came here for the steak. Located just metres from The University of Melbourne, Prince Alfred Rooftop and Bar is a lively, bustling community pub. Serving lunch and dinner, it is a hub of Carlton and campus life. They have a range of cocktails, tap and bottled beers, and wines - red, white, rose, sparkling wines by the glass, as well as natural wine. Food-wise, they serve classic pub food like burgers and parma as well as a good range of vegetarian options. Great place for students, happy hour deals are good.

This place is disappointing. We ordered the pasta of the day, and it literally only had pasta, sauce, and a bit of rocket. The pasta was very average and not worth the price. We expected something much better. Wouldn’t recommend it.

Hello everyone, I visited this place yesterday with my cousin. It was very crowded, so we grabbed a seat on high chairs, although we told them we preferred somewhere else. After one hour, the waitress came and told us that we should leave in one hour since the table is reserved at 8 pm without even trying to prepare another seat for us. This is a very bad experience; the staff is too rude to customers. The fish of the day was just okay. The place was so busy to the point where we had to serve ourselves!! Not recommended at all.

The calamari & the fish n chips were awesome. Perfectly cooked, great pub food. Staff are friendly & have a cool vibe. Love the uni pub atmosphere with academics & students

The standout here is the service, really friendly and attentive. The food, though priced like it's going to be on par with similarly priced pub food, is aaaaabsolutely rubbish. Schnitty was rubbery, with lukewarm chips and an average slaw. No salt or other seasoning to be found in any elements and not even a lemon wedge on the plate. Burgers, both very average with similar shortfalls. We'll be back for bevs for sure, but we'll be eating elsewhere.
