We went on Steak and Parma night.
Both the Steak and Parma were really nice with big servings for a specials night. Desserts were yummy, we highly recommend the lemon curd dessert and the pecan & pear tart. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient. Thank you to Nick & Lauren who looked after us for the night.

Thanks for making the end of our Easter Holiday and celebratory visit to Melbourne so memorable!
We had wanted to visit the Prahran Hotel since seeing it in a design magazine two years ago (in New Zealand).... Last night we were completely blown away by the design and ambiance of the space. It was everything we were expecting and more!
After making a reserreservation three months ago to ensure we got a tube seat the staff were so friendly and welcoming when we arrived. I failed to get their names, but please pass along our thanks to everyone who was wrking on Sunday night.
At the end of the evening after a complementary glass of champagne to celebrate our engagement, great wine, delicious starters, mains and dessert (the apple crumble is to die for - or so I am told) we were left wishing that the Prahran was our local. Well be back next time we're in Melbourne.
We can highly recommend the Prahran to anyone looking for a great place to have a drink or a delightful bite to eat.
Thanks everyone at the Prahran - cheers - Donavin and Julia (PS .... She said yes!)
EDIT
I popped here over the weekend, it was fairly quiet being a Sunday afternoon. It was a chilly winters day, the fire was roaring and it was so nice and cosy. The bar inside is really nice and comfortable, my friend and I enjoyed a couple tap beers.
The bargirl was very friendly and offered to give us a couple samples to try to help us decide what to order.
A great pub to try.
ORIGINAL SCORE 3.5
Came here for a pre drink with a friend, haven't been here in years. The venue is very nice with different areas to sit which offer generous amounts of space. I ordered a wine which I asked the bartender to help with on a recommendation, it was a terrible cab sav. This is a nice place to come for a drink and would gladly come back but would definitely try some different wine.

As far as pubs go, Prahran Hotel is one of the best in terms of the interior design, space and menu.
I really like the large booths against the windows that have a circular timber frame design.
There are also a variety of levels and function rooms available with terraces.
I came here on a Saturday evening for an early dinner, and as expected, there were rowdy groups having drinks, but I took sanctuary at a dining booth upstairs.
• Salted Cod Croquettes – nice crumb and crispy, the taste reminded me of fish fingers, rather than a funky salted cod.
• Fish & Chips – a couple excellent pieces of fish with a crispy batter, the fish inside was firm, juicy, thick and flaky. Nice touch with the caramelised grilled lemon which just gushed juice. The chips just passed as crispy, but didn’t really make me go back for more. Love the hint of dill in the tartare sauce.
• Pork Chop – the large pork chop was nicely crumbed, but there were sections of the chop that were a little dry as it naturally is when lean pork is overcooked. Although the salsa verde and broadbeans really provide an extra kick of flavour.
The Prahran Hotel is still a great place to have drinks with a group of friends, purely due to the location, people and vibes.
Came to this local pub to support the Parma for a Farmer initiative, and boy am I glad I chose the Prahran Hotel because the Parma's here are on point! The crumbed chicken is so crunchy and went perfectly well with the delicious napoli sauce as well as the thick cut chips. I also appreciated that the side salad was not drowning in dressing as many pub salads are. In fact I don't think it was dressed at all, which is the way I like it. Great place for a local drink and pub meal!
I’ve previously dined at the Prahran hotel of a Saturday night and love the sleek modern venue. What was once a typical pub has long ago been transformed into quite the stunning spot whilst maintaining classic pub fare at reasonable prices. Tonight we were invited to a private function in the upstairs space and enjoyed some crisp sauv blanc and boutique beers. I would thoroughly recommend this for an event as it has an excellent location, fabulous interior and great food and drink
I went here with my partner for dinner. We both asked for steaks, which were really good. The atmosphere is also great. The place design is beautiful and the service was kind and fast.
A birthday lunch with 3 ladies so our table was perfect- in a quiet area right in front of the fire. Started with $10 Aperol spritz, I had steak (with truthfully was a bit tough), friends had the parma & roast of the day. All good sizes & tasty. Then we had the sticky date pudding washed down with an espresso martini (both were bloody amazing!) We then a little after lunch drink of berry gin which is a lovely pink hue & very refreshing. Staff were friendly & helpful. All in all a fabulous "ladies who lunch" afternoon. We'll be back!
Don't let the unassuming exterior deter you! This hotel has great food, and the interior is very cool (the only complaint would be that the lighting is too dark and can be a little cold in some places).
I ordered the Spiced Cauliflower dish and would happily eat it again. The cauliflower was roasted just nicely (crunchy on the outside but firm yet soft on the inside), and the cous cous salad with walnuts underneath was divine. Coupled with the yoghurt sauce as the base, it was an extremely flavourful dish.
Our table also ordered the green beans with chilli and parmesan; and was a lovely addition. It's a good size as a side dish and just added that extra veggie accompaniment to the table.
One friend ordered the burger with chips and said it was nice, while the other friend had the gravlax salad. She said the salad was nice, and it certainly looked pretty; however I don't think she was enamoured with it overall.
The staff are happy and polite, so I would definitely recommend and return here.
Pleasantly surprised with the food here. All your typical pub fare with a few nice additions.
We had
• Chicken Parma
• Cauliflower with Couscous
The food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. Very fast service which was nice. The chicken parma was pretty good. About as good as a parma can be really. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was still quite juicy. The fries were likewise perfectly cooked. Only thing I would say is the salad was a little bland. The cauliflower was also rather pleasant. The yoghurt sauce was especially good. The couscous were really big though. Never seen couscous like that before but they ended up being a little bit dry.
The interior is quite nice, especially for a pub. Very enjoyable atmosphere.
Come here if you’re in the area or if it’s a cheap parma night.
Came recently for an event for Good Beer Week and definitely wasn’t disappointed! So many amazing food options and definitely better than regular pub grub.
The upstairs function area is a great spot and doesn’t miss out of any of the ambience from downstairs with the open set up.
Definitely coming back for more of a meal next time!

The Prahran Hotel is one of my favourite pubs in Melbourne! The food and set out is amazing. Its such a great pub for winter as it is super cosy, I always ask for the table by the fire! Would definitely recommend the parma or the half chicken, they are my favourite dishes. Also the squid and chorizo for entree are delicious. Definitely recommend checking it out!
Great pub and food. Clever decor inside. Dining tables situated inside water pipes!! You gotta see it to understand
I hosted a 30th here and the event staff were a treat to deal with - very helpful and responsive! I highly recommend the Prahran Hotel for events. We also returned for dinner and had a great meal in the window booths - a cool place for a date night and night out with mates. Just off Chapel street, so it’s a bit quieter from the mania too.
Great atmosphere, great food and friendly helpful staff. A small group of friends and I spent a very relaxed and entertaining Saturday afternoon here. Started in one of the booths out the back near the courtyard (great spot), and then relocated to a table in front of a TV to watch the Tennis final. Nothing was an issue, and more than willing to accommodate us. This is place will become my new local. Highly recommend and I will definitely be back.
Ate here on a Wednesday evening to take advantage of the Steak and Parma night and was not disappointed. A great atmosphere, quick and easy service and a great value for money meal. Loved the tube dining seats we sat in - such a cool and edgy vibe. Staff were friendly and provided great service. Would recommend!
