Plough Hotel

The Plough Hotel sits on Barkly Street in Footscray, one of Melbourne's vibrant and diverse inner-western suburbs. A much-loved pub, it's a genuine local favourite — combining a relaxed, characterful pub atmosphere with quality food, good drinks and a warm, welcoming feel, including a lovely rooftop, the kind of beloved neighbourhood hotel that's become a real fixture of the area.

The appeal is that combination of a great pub atmosphere, quality food and drinks and a lovely rooftop in a convenient Footscray location, ideal for a relaxed meal, drinks with friends, a catch-up or a lazy afternoon in the sun. The rooftop and genuine character set it apart, and the Plough has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd in the inner west.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,600 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a meal, a drink or a relaxed afternoon on the rooftop, it's often just a matter of dropping in and soaking up the atmosphere at the Plough in Footscray.
