Since 1997, P.J.O’Brien’s Southgate has been Melbourne’s landmark for Irish hospitality, fare, and culture. From its star-studded opening night to late-night visits from celebrities like Shane Lowry and Priscilla Presley, P.J’s has welcomed guests with warmth and craic. Irish folk legends The Wolfetones have long made it their Melbourne home. Known for pouring more Guinness than anywhere else in Australia, P.J’s serves hearty pub meals and Irish classics like its Beef & Guinness Pie.
With live Irish music nearly every night—from trad to rock—and a crew that always leaves with fond memories, it’s a place where stories are shared and friendships forged. Whether you’re here for a quiet pint, a whiskey dinner, or Melbourne’s biggest St. Patrick’s Day party, you’ll never forget P.J’s.
