Kent Hotel

Kent Hotel is a pub in Carlton North, Melbourne, built around an easy mix of food, drinks and time spent together. The venue describes itself as carrying the suburb’s heritage charm, with warm lighting and a familiar, unhurried feel. It suits a casual drink, a catch-up over lunch or dinner, and occasions that call for a little more room.

There are several ways to settle in. The ground floor combines a public bar and dining space, while upstairs has dining rooms and a terrace for a more tucked-away meal or gathering. The food offering centres on seasonal produce, shared plates and classic pub fare, with wine and other drinks to accompany the meal. Guests can also watch the game from the public bar, making the venue suitable for relaxed group visits as well as quieter catch-ups.

For celebrations and larger gatherings, Kent Hotel offers three upstairs areas: a private room with its own bar and audio-visual set-up, a leafy rooftop terrace for cocktail parties, and flexible seated spaces for both small and large events. With lunch, dinner, functions and drinks all part of the offering, it is a versatile option for Carlton locals and visitors looking for a traditional pub setting with different spaces to choose from.
