About Us

The Mona Castle Hotel is a sure candidate for an endangered species list – a small, friendly, dependable local pub with all the trimmings.

 

The West’s classic local pub has just got even better.  The Mona Castle now has an all-day, eat-anywhere menu giving its loyal customers more dining and entertainment choices.

Enjoy a family-friendly meal with waiter service in the cosy dining room, grab a quick, hearty lunch at the bar or spend a balmy evening relaxing with friends in the marquee-covered courtyard – all from the one classic, affordable menu that is guaranteed to have something for everyone.

Chef Tim Ryley has a great local pub pedigree and loves working with fresh produce.  You’ll find all your favourites – beef and Guiness pie, lambs fry, great value steaks – on the all-day menu, as well as the Mona’s famous Wednesday $13 Pot and Parma deal or Thursdays $15 Steak night.

Add to that a $12 lunch special featuring six great options, and you have all the ingredients for a flexible, friendly local with traditional atmosphere that’s also tuned in to the needs of today’s customers.

In a hurry? Pre-orders are welcome.  Dining out with friends? The Mona is more than happy for you to split the bill.  Want to enjoy some relax weekend entertainment?  The Mona Castle lays on laid-back live music on Sunday afternoons.  Keep up-to-date with all the news on the pub’s Facebook page.

Nestled in quiet, suburban Austin Street in Melbourne’s blossoming inner-west, the Mona Castle offers full TAB and eftpos facilities.  But it’s the community atmosphere that locals love that makes it a great place the catch up casually with family, friends and colleagues.

Named after a Scottish castle, the pub has been in business for 137 years.  With its classic exterior and the old-world charm of its 70-seat dining room, it certainly looks the part, but hosts Gary & Tracy Clough have worked hard to ensure the pub’s beauty isn’t just skin-deep.

To accompany the great food, there’s a good selection of wines, including many available by the glass.  Dine by the fireplace in the dining room in the winter months, or check out the Marquee for those summery days.  We have the venue to suit all seasons and all occasions.

Kids are well catered for and wheelchair access has been arranged to make this a family-friendly pub that welcomes all.  The hospitable atmosphere also makes it a great place for a function.  We cater for everything from birthday parties, anniversaries, business lunches and, of course, relaxed Christmas parties.
