540 on Barkly

540 on Barkly is a neighbourhood pub, bar, bistro and function space in West Footscray, Melbourne, built around straightforward food, drinks and time spent together. The venue describes its offering as classic pub favourites, quality drinks and weekly food specials, with a newer menu that includes more gluten-free options. No individual dishes are listed on the available website text, so the appeal is its broad, familiar pub format rather than a particular signature plate.

The space is presented as relaxed, warm and welcoming, with room for a casual dinner, drinks with friends or a special event. Live music is also part of the venue’s offering, adding another reason to visit beyond a meal. With bookings available and a dedicated function-space focus, it may suit groups organising a get-together as well as locals looking for an easy neighbourhood venue. The website does not provide further detail about the interior, events schedule, opening hours or the people behind the business, so checking directly is sensible when planning a visit.
