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

Nestled in quiet, suburban Austin Street in Melbourne’s blossoming inner-West, the Mona Castle has great, affordable contemporary food and a cosy dining room to enjoy it in, and private marquee covered courtyard, perfect for your next private function.  Full TAB and eftpos facilities.  But it’s the community atmosphere that locals love and makes it a great place to catch up casually with family, friends and colleagues.

Names after a Scottish castle, the Mona Castle has been in business for 136 years. With its classic exterior and the old-world charm of its 70-seat Mona Kitchen Dining Room, it certainly looks the part, but proprietors Gary and Tracy Clough have worked hard to ensure the pub’s beauty isn’t just skin-deep.

There’s an extensive menu in the redeveloped Mona Kitchen Dining Room with daily specials.  Chef Adrian Clemmens has created a contemporary menu of modern classics and more innovative dishes.  With full table service in the dining room it is the perfect venue for your next business lunch, dinner or special occasion.  Locals have also got wise to the fantastic value of our traditional Bar Menu with Wednesday’s impressive $13 Pot and Parma deal.

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 welcome all. The hospitable atmosphere also makes it a great place for a function. We cater for everything from birthday parties, anniversaries, business lunches and, or course, relaxed Christmas parties.
