(742)

The iconic Criterion Hotel, Sale, is situated on the corner of York & MacAlister Street's in Sale, Victoria. Rich in history and grandeur, this well-known public house re-opened its doors in November 2013 after undergoing immense refurbishment to restore the venue to its former glory - much to the delight of locals and travellers-alike, who hold fond memories of the hotel from years gone by. Sweeping the extent of the building across MacAlister and York streets and with stunning views across to the historic Victoria Park, the Balcony is a definitive crowd pleaser and a one-of-a-kind feature. Our four versatile reserve areas, combined with elegant décor, an outstanding function menu and wine list and professional service makes The Criterion Hotel the perfect setting for your next special event. Heavily influenced by quality Gippsland produce we lovingly present a modern menu reflecting the care that was engaged in the renovation of the hotel. Pork from Giffard, Lamb from Stratford and cheese from local cow milk we will constantly source new local suppliers for our up-market hotel menu.

SOMETHING'S SHAKING AT THE CRI. 🍸👀

We've been doing some very serious research behind the bar.

Shaking. Stirring. Tasting.

It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it. 😂

Our cocktail list is getting a little shake-up!

Some old favourites. Some fresh faces. And a few with questionable intentions. 😏

Your favourites aren't going anywhere. But they might have some competition. 😉
