Why it's worth checking out
The Mitre Tavern sits on Bank Place, a characterful little laneway in the heart of the Melbourne CBD. One of the city's oldest and most beloved pubs — housed in a historic building dating back to the 1860s — it's a genuine Melbourne institution, combining heritage charm and a classic pub-and-steakhouse atmosphere with quality food, good drinks and a much-loved courtyard.
The appeal is that combination of genuine history, a great pub atmosphere and quality food (it's well known for its steaks), all tucked down a characterful city laneway with a lovely courtyard. There's something special about raising a glass or enjoying a meal in one of the city's oldest pubs, and the Mitre's heritage, character and quality have made it a treasured fixture.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 3,200 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved institution. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — and booking is wise for a meal — while looking forward to the heritage charm, quality food and characterful atmosphere at the historic Mitre Tavern.
