The story of this place
Young & Jackson Hotel is Melbourne's oldest continuously operating pub, established in 1861 at the corner of Flinders Street and Swanston Street. The heritage-listed building has been beautifully restored, blending boutique bar atmosphere with classic pub charm. Famous for housing the painting 'Chloé'—a nude that scandalised Melbourne in the Victorian era—the hotel has been a gathering place for over 160 years. The kitchen serves excellent pub classics including fish and chips, seafood pasta, and legendary parmas. Multiple bars across many rooms offer everything from craft beers to cocktails.
