The Heart of High Street Since 1924
For over a century, The Preston Hotel has been more than just a place to grab a cold drink—we’ve been the anchor of our local community. Established in 1924, our walls have seen generations of locals celebrate victories, commiserate losses, and come together over great food and even better company. Whether you’re a lifelong Preston local or a traveler discovering the vibrant pulse of Melbourne’s north for the very first time, there’s always a seat for you at our table.

What We’re All About
Community & Live Music
We are the neighborhood’s unofficial clubhouse. From hosting lively trivia nights (QuizzaMe) to featuring local live music acts, we keep the vibrant culture of Melbourne’s north alive and kicking right here in the Front Bar.
From Sports to Skyline Views
We cater to every kind of afternoon or evening. Catch all your favorite sports live on the big screens downstairs with full TAB facilities, or escape the street level entirely to soak in incredible city views from Lulu Bar—our hidden, European-inspired rooftop oasis serving up signature cocktails and tapas.
Hearty Pub Staples Done Right
A great pub needs great food, and our kitchen delivers comforting classics that hit the spot every single time. From our legendary, massive chicken parmigianas to crisp small plates, it's quality pub dining made to pair perfectly with our legendary $10 pints.
Our values
Genuine Local Hospitality
No pretension, no corporate fluff—just a warm, authentically friendly team and an atmosphere where everyone is treated like a regular from day one.
