Post Office Club Hotel

Post Office Club Hotel is a long-running neighbourhood pub on St Kilda Road, with a history stretching back more than 150 years. Its focus is community: a place for local pub culture, a meal with friends, or a relaxed drink in St Kilda. The public bar and courtyard welcome walk-ins as well as bookings, while the venue’s dining spaces provide a more structured option for lunch or dinner. The public bar and dining room are open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, from midday until late.

The kitchen takes a seasonal approach to familiar pub food, using local suppliers and placing an emphasis on ethical and sustainable fishing, farming and food preparation. The menu is built around classics, with regular specials giving the week its own rhythm. Highlights include the Monday roast with beef, lamb or a nut option and all the trimmings; Tuesday fish and chips with homemade curry sauce and mushy peas; and the 250g Victorian porterhouse served with Café de Paris butter and fries on Wednesdays. Thursdays bring a choice of traditional, posh or cauliflower parmas, while Friday’s oyster offer includes natural oysters with mignonette, Kilpatrick or a chef’s special.

There are also practical options for different kinds of visits. The weekday express lunch runs from midday to 3pm, and the kids’ happy meal includes a choice of kids’ meal, soft drink and sundae and is available Monday to Sunday. Sunday’s roast comes with seasonal sides. For drinks, the list leans towards niche and artisan makers, with a local focus and occasional imports, rather than following a purely mainstream pub selection.

The venue can work for a casual solo stop at the bar, a family meal, or a gathering that needs more space. The dining room seats 50 guests and is recommended for bookings, while the private dining room can accommodate up to 22 people for intimate celebrations. An events team is available to discuss private functions and tours of the event spaces. With its mix of walk-in areas, bookable dining and weekly pub specials, Post Office Club Hotel offers a flexible option for locals and visitors exploring Melbourne’s St Kilda.
