Lulie Tavern

Abbotsford, VIC

Lulie Tavern

LIVE MUSIC is almost always free at the Tav. They’re a generous bunch! It usually starts at 9pm, so grab a few brews before hitting the D-floor.

FAMOUS FOR free pool. In this economy? Say goodbye to the fluorescently lit, jam-packed pool halls, and hello to the Lulie (if you can manage to secure a spot at the table). This is how the game is meant to be played: a few pints deep, with friends and strangers.

INFAMOUS FOR the rough-and-tumble, unapologetically old school vibe. Think neon beer signs, raw brick, and a disco ball twirling above it all. A cowboy would feel right at home.

Aaaah, the good old Lulie. Combining the raucous energy of a classic pub with the modern fixings we all love, Lulie Tavern is a favourite of locals and visitors alike.

If you’ve been on the hunt for an authentic Americana dive, then this will be your place. Though Lulie Tavern may only be in its early years, you wouldn’t be able to tell – it’s got that cozy, lived-in feeling, like it’s straight out of 1969. Warm and unpretentious, the space is only made better by the super friendly staff.

Sun seekers can head on up the stairs to the brand-spanking-new rooftop. We couldn’t think of a better way to end a busy week than crushing a few on the roof while the thud of rock n’ roll echoes from the bandroom below.

The Lulie is known for their massive celebration of the best of Melbourne nightlife too, hosting a massive Luliepalooza each year, a one-day mini festival praising all things live music. This year, their lineup included the likes of RVG, Pist Idiots, Grace Cummings and Children Collide.

Check them out by heading down to 225 Johnston Street, Abbotsford. They’re open ’til late from 4 pm on weekdays and midday on Fridays and across the weekend.
