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.

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
Quentin
The chicken schnitzel itself was amazing. Sadly the gravy with it was watery and didnt have much taste while the fries where lukewarm when they arrived, that didnt feel fresh at all. Portion sizes of the starters left much to be desired as well. Of course theyre not a main dish, but compared to any other starter ive had here so far these were just too small for that price. The atmosphere and service is very good and there are no complaints!

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.

Had a few beers here and it got fairly busy with the after work / uni crowd. $10 pints during happy hour is good but then needed a bite and ordered the poutine at $15 for a small tray. It’s like the chips had been fried a lot earlier and it had been thrown in the oven or under a heat lamp to warm them up prior to serving. Watery gravy didn’t help although there were a couple of clumps of curd for aesthetics. Would have a drink here again but wouldn’t get any food.

My partner and I recently were visiting Melbourne due to my Mum having a lengthy hospital stay nearby. Each day we would come visit the Prince Alfred for a break. The staff at PA are incredible, so welcoming & really get to know their customers. Always up for a chat & checking in on us which was lovely. The food & drinks are delicious, it’s a great spot for a game of pool & mojito! Thanks Lani and the team at PA! 🙌🏽⭐️

The parma was very good. Although at $27.50 I would expect Aioli to be free, and extra $2 is too much and I actually spent less because I couldn't justify getting a beer as well. It's not a $12 burger and chips
