Bars & Pubs

From 1850s corner pubs and live music rooms to rooftop cocktail bars in old bank buildings.

The street runs from grand 1850s corner hotels to small rooftop bars tucked into old bank buildings. The Corner Hotel is still its live-music heart, one of Melbourne’s best-known band rooms, but around it you will find wine bars, sports pubs, beer gardens and late-opening rooms for a quiet drink after the gig. This is every place on Swan Street to get a beer, a wine or a cocktail.
