Railway Hotel Fitzroy North – Fitzroy North
A charming historic pub that nails the "Melbourne local" feel. The function room is cosy and intimate, perfect for laid-back get-togethers with a craft beer in hand.
The National Hotel – Richmond
A rich history and a gorgeous courtyard beer garden make this gastro pub a must for any event. Their function room is spot-on for birthdays, corporate dos, or just a Sunday session that got out of hand (in the best way).

Handy Tips for Hiring Pub Function Rooms in Melbourne
- Save on venue hire – Many pubs work on a minimum spend basis, so you don’t pay a hire fee — just cover food and drinks.
- Ask about BYO – Some venues allow you to bring your own catering or drinks, but always double-check about corkage fees.
- Plan your numbers early – Send invites and ask for RSVPs about two months in advance so you can book a space that fits everyone comfortably.
- Consider location – Pubs in the CBD are super central but can be pricier and have limited parking. Suburban spots like Mooroolbark offer more space and easier access.
Whether you’re after a classic corner pub or a swanky craft beer bar, Melbourne’s got the perfect spot waiting for you. Browse our top picks for pubs with function rooms in Melbourne and lock in your event today. Cheers to good times ahead!
