Great surroundings, helpful staff, excellent food, great venue.
As we had a mostly seated function, during meals it would have been better to have the bar staff come to our tables to ask if anyone wanted drinks, rather than people having to get up from their meal to order.

Located in the heart of Southgate, P.J.O'Brien's is one of Melbourne's longest standing authentic Irish pubs and a favourite destination for locals and visitors.

Whether you are after a quiet beer, a comforting meal, after-work drinks or all of the above with some excellent LIVE music, we have you covered every single night of the week. Please note live music Wednesday - Sunday

Adjoining the pub is P.J's Sidebar, open seven days and nights a week as an oyster bar and available to hire for private and corporate functions.

With an exclusive private area overlooking the lower deck (which is also available for private hire) and fabulous function menus this is the perfect venue for intimate occasions through to breakfast meetings and corporate gatherings.
