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.

Great place to catch up for a late drink with friends. Food is hit and miss depending on who is cooking on that shift. sometimes, it feels like the steak is steamed and then slapped on the grill just to make grilled lines. The salmon dish was very nice, though.

A cozy and beautifully designed restaurant with a stunning view of Flinders Street. The staff were polite, helpful, and genuinely nice. We had booked the Cherie room, and everything was perfect—the food was excellent, and the service was great. Highly recommended!

Young & Jackson’s is an absolute Melbourne staple. Sitting right across from Flinders Street Station, it’s one of those places that feels woven into the city’s history. Whether you’re stopping in for a drink after work, catching up with friends before an event, or simply wanting to soak in the atmosphere of a true Melbourne institution, Y&J delivers every time. The venue strikes a balance between heritage charm and modern hospitality—beautiful old-world architecture paired with a buzzing, contemporary vibe. The range of beers, wines, and cocktails is extensive, and the menu offers something for everyone, from classic pub fare to elevated bites. What really sets it apart, though, is the sense of tradition. Locals know it, tourists seek it out, and generations have made memories here. Young & Jackson’s isn’t just a pub—it’s part of Melbourne’s cultural fabric, the kind of place you can return to again and again and still feel like it’s your first time discovering it

Dined here on Anzac Day. The service was a bit lacking, they took our food orders but didn't ask if we wanted any coffees or drinks. Took almost an hour for food to come and was mostly cold when it arrived. Toast came with eggs on top and butter on the side....The wait staff were quite short when it came to paying and was not overall a great experience.

The wine was great, and all the food was delicious. I also loved how spacious the place was – it made the experience even better!
