ABOUT Melbourne Central Lion

Level 3, 211 La Trobe Street, Melbourne VIC 3000

We are located deep inside the busy Melbourne Central shopping complex in the Melbourne CBD, making transport very easy with the train station and multi level carpark just downstairs. 

The Lion is an old English style pub showing sport live and loud. Catch all the AFL, NBA or UFC action 7 days a week from 11am until late. With multiple screens located around the venue, you’re sure to have a clear view from every vantage point.

Every Friday and Saturday the Lion brings you to your feet with live music and DJ’s! Then on Tuesdays, nestle in for Trivia nights from 7pm. Free entry and loads of great prizes to be won. 

The function areas at The Lion include Jac’s Lounge, a Beer Garden, booths, and the Cosy Corner. Whether you are planning a birthday celebration or staff get together, The Lion’s function coordinator is available to help you pick the best space for your event.

In Jac’s Lounge, you will find a large horseshoe bar and a capacity for 60-seated patrons or 200 for a cocktail style event. With private dining booths, plasma TVs, and a dance floor, Jac’s Lounge offers a place casual enough to gather for a sporting event and hip enough to play the top-40 on the jukebox.

No matter which space you choose, The Lion offers an extensive finger food and classic-pub menu with everything from fish and chips to burgers, pizza and the classic parma. The Lion also has a full bar and multiple beers on tap.
