Why it's worth checking out
The Sherlock Holmes sits on Collins Street in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, a characterful English-style pub bringing a touch of London to the city. With its traditional decor, hearty pub fare and a great range of beers, it's become a popular fixture — the kind of warm, atmospheric pub that's ideal for a relaxed drink or a meal in the centre of town.
The appeal is that combination of an authentic English-pub atmosphere, good food and a solid drinks offering in a convenient central location, ideal for after-work drinks, a casual meal or watching the sport. The classic pub setting gives it genuine character, a comfortable spot to settle in right in the heart of the CBD.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 2,300 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, what's on tap, opening hours and any events vary, and a popular city pub fills up around weekends and events, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed pint or a casual meal in a characterful English-style pub, it's often just a matter of dropping in and settling in.
