Why it's worth checking out
The Irish Times sits on Little Collins Street in the heart of the Melbourne CBD. A popular Irish pub, it's a genuine city fixture — combining a warm, welcoming Irish-pub atmosphere with hearty food, good drinks, live music and a lively, sociable feel, all in a central, convenient location.
The appeal is that combination of a great Irish-pub atmosphere, hearty food and drinks, live music and the convivial charm of a proper Irish pub, ideal for a relaxed meal, a pint with friends, catching the sport or a fun night out in the city. The warm, welcoming character and live entertainment have broad appeal, and The Irish Times has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 2,300 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours, the live-music program and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a pint, a hearty feed, some live music and a warm pub atmosphere, it's often just a matter of dropping in at The Irish Times in the city.
