A much-loved pub with a long history and a strong connection to the university, it's a genuine local institution — combining a relaxed, characterful pub atmosphere with quality food, good drinks and a warm, welcoming feel.
The appeal is that combination of a great pub atmosphere, quality food and drinks and a convenient Parkville location near the university, ideal for a relaxed meal, a drink, a catch-up or a fun night out. There's something special about a long-standing university pub with genuine character and history, and Naughtons has clearly kept its loyal following of students, locals and old regulars happy over the years.
