Hi All,

bit left-field this....

as a relatively well-travelled sports fan, I've come to learn over the years that football forums are generally great places to get information from locals about their beloved cities (don't bother with TripAdvisor etc any more), so here goes. Coming over for The Ashes and looking for a decent pub (not hotel or restaurant) for Christmas dinner. Has to be a bit family friendly, but the fewer kids the better to be honest.

Appreciate any help you can offer.

cheers.

Having your Christmas at the pub is not really a thing here like it is in England, majority will be shut. The pubs that are open for the day though will offer some kind of lunch package for $100 or whatever and probably not worth what you pay as staff are on something like triple pay.

I'd suggest going down to the park  and soaking up the hopeful sun instead.

Not much at all will be open on Christmas Day as you can see here: http://www.onlymelbourne.com.au/open-christmas-day#.WaE9ID4jGiQ

You can get an idea of what the various hotels in the city were offering in 2016 here https://whatsonblog.melbourne.vic.gov.au/guide-christmas-day-dining-melbourne/ and I doubt any of those would suit you.

The only place I can see that might meet your requirements is the Wharf Hotel https://www.wharfhotel.com.au/whats-on. It's offering a 2-course Christmas lunch for $65 and you can book by e-mail. I've never been there, so you'd be taking pot luck.

Hopefully you'll get some more replies.
