New visuals, same funky soul.

The Retreat has always been full of stories, old walls, familiar faces, live music, front bar moments and the kind of character you can’t really manufacture.

If you’re new here, welcome. If you’ve been with us for a while, thanks for all the love.

This is the start of a new digital era for The Retreat Hotel, showcasing the best of what this old Abbotsford pub has to offer.

History, music, food, footy, locals, late afternoons and all the weird little moments in between.

See you all soon at The Retreat.

Welcome to The Retreat.
A pub with more stories than most people.

Tucked away in Abbotsford, we’re a little weird, a little wonderful, and proudly unlike anywhere else in Melbourne.

Cold beers, honest pub food, live music, local characters, and the kind of atmosphere that keeps people coming back for years.

Whether you’re a regular, a first-timer, or just passing through, pull up a chair and make yourself at home.

Come for one. Stay for three.
See you at the bar.
