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.

I reall like this pub, great location, atmosphere and certain seats have what would probably be the most iconic view in Melbourne (Flinders Station). Probably my favourite pub in the city. I went there before and AFL game at the MCG and it was great, six month later went back and it was much less busy but still had a charming atmosphere

Stepping back in time here in Melbourne to a very famous pub, but unfortunately, it was the last stop for a lot of young Australians, who sacrifice our lives in World War II. It’s an amazing place and a tribute to those men and women..

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Young & Jackson – Historic Melbourne Icon Young & Jackson is a true Melbourne classic. Full of history, character, and great atmosphere, it’s one of those pubs that everyone should visit at least once. Right across from Flinders Street Station, it’s the perfect spot for a drink and a dose of old Melbourne charm. The famous “haunted” stories add to the fun – you can definitely feel the heritage and age in the building, with creaky floors and that slightly eerie vibe in certain corners. Whether you’re here for the history, the legends, or just a good pub experience, it never disappoints. A must-visit for locals and visitors alike! 🍻👻

T bone steak was tremendous. Very well prepared. Only minor hiccup in my opinion was the lack of sides. The fish chips were great as well, juicy and fresh. Oh, no chili sauce in a steakhouse which served fries seems kinda silly. Well if anyone of the management read this, they know what to do. Service by the staff was tremendous. Would certainly come again.
