Get ready, Melbourne! On 14 May, the city’s vibrant pub scene is getting a major upgrade with the opening of Quarterhouse, a contemporary three-level venue designed to cater to everyone.
Located next to Southern Cross Station in the heart of the Melbourne Quarter precinct, this dynamic destination is primed to become a go-to spot for after-work drinks, game-day gatherings, corporate functions, and lively weekend celebrations.
Whether you’re visiting Marvel Stadium, exploring the CBD, or simply looking for a fresh hangout, Quarterhouse offers something for everyone—with unmatched views, diverse menus, and an exciting entertainment lineup. Boasting space for up to 1,400 people, this new hotspot blends Melbourne’s urban charm with natural elements and traditional pub vibes across its three distinct levels.
Three Levels of Good Times
Ground Floor: The ultimate pub experience with a twist. Enjoy hearty meals, pub classics, and cold drinks while catching live sports on a massive 4m-wide LED screen. Opt for casual banquette and booth seating or soak up the city vibes with outdoor street dining.
Level One: A versatile event space ready to host private celebrations or corporate functions for up to 240 guests. The terrace adds an extra touch of sophistication.
Rooftop Bar: The crowning jewel of Quarterhouse. The open-air rooftop bar features a wrap-around terrace that overlooks the new Sky Park, suspended above Collins Street. With laid-back indulgence and a gastro-pub menu, it’s a rooftop experience unlike any other in Melbourne’s CBD.
“Quarterhouse is exactly what this part of the CBD has been missing,” says Venue Manager Luke Bottoms. “It’s casual and welcoming while offering something unique with our rooftop bar and Sky Park views.”
A Menu for Every Occasion
Quarterhouse takes pub dining to the next level with two inspired menus designed for each level of the venue.
On the Ground Floor, enjoy share plates like Fried Squid with pickled fennel, lemon, and aioli or tuck into modern pub staples like the Quarterhouse Burger with blue cheese mayo and skin-on fries. Steaks are a highlight, served with salad, umami butter, and your choice of jus gras or peppercorn sauce.
Up on the Rooftop, indulge in share-style bites like Wagyu Beef Skewers with pepperberry jus or woodfired pizzas with seven varieties to choose from. Larger dishes include the delicious Crumbed Pork Ribeye with lemon caper beurre noisette or the perfectly cooked Pan-Fried Barramundi with salsa verde.
Entertainment to Match the Vibes
With a curated weekly entertainment schedule, Quarterhouse is more than just a pub—it’s a vibrant social destination. Highlights include:
- Mondays: Free pool all day in the Public Bar.
- Thursdays: Acoustic soloists from 5pm in the Public Bar and Rooftop.
- Fridays: Sunset Sips DJs from 5pm on the Rooftop, and a DJ starts at 9pm on the Ground Floor.
