The Victoria Hotel

Last updated April 2026

The Victoria Hotel in Yarraville is a cosy, family-friendly pub with a relaxed vibe and a kids’ menu that even the fussiest eaters love. The toasted sandwiches come cut into fun shapes, and there’s always a highchair tucked behind the bar if you need it. The beer garden is perfect for sunny afternoons, while the air-conditioned dining room keeps everyone comfortable when Melbourne’s weather turns. With space to spread out and crayons at the ready, it’s a no-fuss spot where parents can unwind and kids can feel at home. It’s one of those rare venues that actually delivers on the promise of being welcoming to families. What to Bring A small toy or book for the wait. Your own sippy cup if your child isn’t a big drinker. A light jacket for evenings, even in summer. Expect sticky tables and sticky fingers—bring a wipe or two. Best Age Range Best for 2–8 year olds. Toddlers are welcome, and there’s space to run around outside. Good to Know No bookings for the main dining room. Kids’ meals are around $12–$15. Parking is free on nearby side streets after 5pm. Weekday afternoons are quieter than weekend evenings. Nearby The Yarraville Gardens playground in Yarraville, Melbourne is a 5-minute stroll away. Tips From Other Parents Ask for a table by the window—kids love watching the trams go past. The chips are a safe bet if your child isn’t feeling adventurous. Bring a small treat for dessert; the kids’ menu doesn’t always include it.
