Why it's worth checking out
The Flying Duck Hotel sits on Bendigo Street in Prahran, one of Melbourne's lively inner-southern 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, 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 convenient Prahran location, ideal for a relaxed meal, a drink, a catch-up or settling in for the evening. There's something special about a local pub with genuine character, and the Flying Duck has clearly won over a loyal following in the inner south.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,200 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 night out in a characterful pub, it's often just a matter of dropping in and soaking up the atmosphere in Prahran.
