Two Retro Pubs Get a Revamp

Two Retro Pubs Get a Revamp

Author: Broadsheet September 5, 2023 Duration: 9:46

The Courthouse North Melbourne is a historic building. Originally built in 1857, the storied old pub lived many lives before the team behind Naughtons Hotel reopened it in 2023. The front bar has that classic old-school pub feel, perfect for casual drinking and watching AFL, while the backbar is good for bigger groups. A record player has pride of place in the front bar next to a collection of vintage vinyl and the kitchen exclusively dishes pub classics. Plus, at the new-look Healesville Hotel, enjoy house-made pastas and pub classics in the bar and bistro revamped by the team behind Marquis of Lorne and The Orrong Hotel. 

Featured on today's episode:

Every other Tuesday, Broadsheet Melbourne: Around Town offers a quiet moment to step into the city's vibrant current. This isn't about listing events; it's about the people quietly shaping the texture of daily life here. Each conversation pulls back the curtain on a different facet of local culture, from the precise craft behind a neighborhood restaurant's menu to the creative impulse driving a new gallery exhibition or an independent fashion line. You might hear from a chef redefining a classic ingredient, a designer building a sustainable brand, or an artist whose work captures a particular Melbourne mood. The podcast, produced by Broadsheet, moves fluidly between food, art, and society because, in this city, those lines are always blurring. Tuning in feels less like consuming media and more like grabbing a coffee with the most interesting person in the room-the one who can explain not just what's happening, but why it matters to the way we live, work, and gather. It’s for anyone who believes a city's character is built through these countless, thoughtful contributions, one story at a time.
