The Pumphouse Hotel

A quick drink with friends. A bite to eat. Perhaps an intimate dinner. Or a function that captures the mood perfectly. All in a day's work at The Pumphouse Hotel. The Monkey Bar area invites patrons inside with its eclectic, cozy décor, making them feel immediately at home. Victorian prints adorn the walls while an open fireplace does its job admirably in the colder months. As relaxing as it is engaging, The Monkey Bar is the perfect place to drop in for a quick drink or meet with friends and colleagues. A large variety of local and international beers both on tap and in bottles and an impressive wine selection beckon from beyond the mahogany bar. Indeed, whatever your taste, we're sure to keep you in good supply. The "Room with a View" is situated in the front of the hotel and overlooks the spectacular Carlton Gardens. The room is charmingly decorated with traditional paintings and prints, which makes it a relaxed setting for an enjoyable lunch or dinner. This causal bistro serves traditional "pub grub" as well as modern and imaginative dishes with a touch of European flair. Our menu always provides a mix of the traditional and the new, so you're sure to go home satisfied. The room holds 30-50 guests comfortably and with the hotel's proximity to many of Melbourne's top attractions, including the theatre district, makes it the ideal place to stop for a meal. The Pumphouse Hotel's best kept secret, The Conservatory Restaurant. The Conservatory is impressive and contemporary; the setting is perfect for any special occasion, whether you choose to celebrate with lunch, dinner or cocktails. By day, the newly refurbished Conservatory is filled with natural light spilling from its distinctive glass roof. This feature is hung with delicate bamboo lanterns which, in the evening, illuminate the venue and give a sense of romance. A cosy fireplace and the option of a dance floor add to the exceptional atmosphere and timeless style of the Conservatory. Catering to suit all your function needs and understanding your budget, this space can host up to 120 seated. Our central location also makes us a sensible and friendly alternative to the big city hotels.

Cant believe it has been 7 years and the place looks amazing still. Your staff were fantastic and we enjoyed the night. Thanks again. Cheers" 23/12/2011 "Hi Tony, Just wanted to drop you a quick note and say thank you for a fabulous evening last night. The food, room and customer service were fantastic. The feedback from the staff has also been positive so the talk around the office is that we should book the same venue next year. Thank you for making the GWA Bathrooms & Kitchens Christmas party a very happy event. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Regards" 8/11/2012 "Hi Tony, I hope this finds you well!!!! Just a quick email to say thank you for helping us out with our wedding reception which we had at The Pumphouse on October 22nd. Both you and your staff were fantastic. There was one lady in particular who was organising everyone on the night who is a massive credit to your team. Everyone commented on how impressed they were with the service they were provided, how great the food was and how fantastic it was to be able to pick what meals they wanted rather than being thrown a dish they would rather not have. So a BIG thank-you to you and your staff for making everything so easy!!!! I'm sure we will be back at The Pumphouse enjoying a meal next time we are back in Melbourne. Thanks again! Cheers" 20/10/2012 "Dear Tony, Simone and the super Pumphouse staff, Our October wedding has confirmed for us and our guests that The Consevvatory (at the Pumphouse Hotel) is the BEST reception venue in Melbourne - thankyou!
