The venue was amazing, the food and drinks excellent and the staff were extremely nice and accommodating. Everyone loved the night and I'm very grateful to the team running the show that evening.

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.
