With its close proximity to Melbourne University, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and Melbourne’s infamous Trade’s Hall, Hotel Lincoln has rich and colourful history.
The ‘Lincoln’ is an iconic Melbourne watering hole frequented by Melbournians from all walks of life. It is a traditional corner pub where labourers, office workers, politicians, business leaders, unionist and academics can rub shoulders over a convivial ale.
But what was once a meeting place for soapbox discussions and political debate is now a Melbourne hub for lovers of fine food, wine and ales.
Step in to the art deco-style bar (charming open wood fire in the winter) for some local-only beers with friends or tuck into a tasty share meal from the charcuterie menu, ponder the latest pub-themed works of select artists on the walls of the adjoining parlour, or check into our contemporary dining room for an a la carte lunch or dinner.
Come here to meet people -- last year we won acclaim as one of Melbourne’s top meeting places! Or to stage an event -- like private-use weddings, groups, corporate conferences, product launches, corporate gatherings.
It's a smart pub with character, energy and really great food by award winning Head Chef Ross Beeley’s, which is supported by a 250+ label wine list. That’s why the Lincoln been a pioneer of Melbourne’s vibrant gastro pub scene.
