Young and Jacksons.

– Address: 1 Swanston St – Vibe: Old School with modern style – Dedicated Menu: Pub classics with cool twists.
Young and Jacksons is an old school pub that first came into action in some form back in 1861. The pub calls itself a mix of “a boutique bar and a traditional pub”, and after a meal and a pint, it’s definitely clear why.
It’s definitely one of the most famous Melbourne CBD bars and pubs – it’s branded as вЂwhere Melbourne meets’ and considering it’s just across the road from Flinders Street Station, that’s probably about right.
Young and Jacksons is also home to a popular piece of artwork called Chloe, it’s been around since 1909, and has a pretty interesting history that you can dive into here. On the food and drink side, they’re focused on providing some great pub classics, pints of your favourite beers, and mains like steak, fish and chips, and a whole lot more.
The Duke of Wellington.
– Address: 146 Flinders St – Vibe: Classic style, but with a modern spin – Dedicated Menu: Pub grub.
The Duke is famously the oldest pub in all of Melbourne, first opening way back in 1850. Since its inception, The Duke has changed a few hands and had a few updates, with the pub being famously sold back in 2017. It’s not only the oldest watering hole on our list of the best Melbourne CBD bars and pubs, it’s the most historic venue in our hundreds upon hundreds of venue listings across the site. That’s pretty bloody cool.
It’s a stone’s throw from some of Melbourne’s top spots, an easy work from landmarks like Fed Square and Melbourne Town Hall. It’s a classic pub, you can grab all of your favourite meals, and top it off with a pint of your favourite local brew. The secret to longevity? Keep it simple, Duke.
