Welcome to the Clifton Hill Hotel

Welcome to our pub - celebrating 41 years in 2026


We’re a family-run, independent pub, where great beer and good vibes come together. Nestled inside the Hotel building, our microbrewery is the heart of everything we do.

Our beers are inspired by the local area, with favourites like the Queens Parade Pale leading the way.

We’re also always on the lookout for new and interesting Victorian and Australian products and produce to feature in our bar and restaurant – it’s the flexibility of being independent; we can look for the good stuff.

 

Hungry?

We are focused on bringing you a modern take on classic pub food, with reliably good regulars like parmas, steaks, and burgers, alongside our signature dishes like crispy skinned salmon, woodfired rib-eye and our Waldorf schnitzel salad.

Whether you’re here for the beer, the food, or just a classic Melbourne pub experience, we can’t wait to welcome you. Everyone’s invited.

Meet Our Locals

Pale Ale (5.2% abv)

Clifton Hill American style Pale Ale boasts big tropical pine & citrus hop aromatics with a solid malt backbone to balance an assertive bitterness. We dry hop this beer twice to maximise the intense hoppy aromas that climb their way out of the glass.

Dark Ale (5.0% abv)

GOLD MEDAL AIBA 2019 – Our signature Dark Ale gives off aromas of freshly roasted coffee, dark chocolate & sweet grain. Featuring roasted & caramel malts balanced with herbaceous European noble hops. Finishes dry so you can come back for more. Will be back on taps as the weather cools in 2026.

Irish Red Ale (4.4% abv)

Clifton Hill Brewpub Irish Red Ale is full of toffee & biscuit aromas & flavours. We pour this beer with nitrogen to give it a full creamy mouthful. Finishes smooth with a hint of roast malt. It’s always popular and worth the hype.

Queens Parade Pale Ale (4.5% abv)

An Australian style Pale Ale that’s a bit more laid back than its American counterpart. We’ve actually honed the recipe to make this beer something that keeps you interested without blasting your taste buds. Hoppy, sessionable & refreshing.

India Pale Ale (6.4% abv)

Big & bold, our American style IPA (India Pale Ale) has a huge punch of resinous & tropical aromas which lead into a medium body balanced perfectly against a strong bitterness. We pack this beer with kilos of late addition hops to make this an IPA that takes no prisoners.
