Abbotsford Pubs: Beer Gardens and Dining Rooms

Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.

This page lines up seven pubs by what they publish: gardens, kitchens, hours and the odd price. All seven are in Abbotsford itself, from Nicholson Street across to Johnston Street.

Every place was checked against at least two independent sources: OpenStreetMap, the pub’s own website and the Australian Good Food Guide. Where a source says nothing, we say we could not find it rather than guess.

Hours and prices change, so read them as each source’s word on the day we looked, and ring ahead before you plan a night around one. Where a pub publishes no menu, we print no price.

Park Hotel — 191 Nicholson Street, Abbotsford VIC 3067

The Park Hotel’s site describes the bar, open fireplaces, a quiet dining room and a sun-filled beer garden. AGFG tags the Park Hotel with alfresco dining, takeaway, vegetarian options and gluten free options. Its home page lists Tuesday parma-night specials of Chicken Parmas at $20 and Eggplant Parmas at $19, while its menu PDF lists a Chicken Parmigiana at $29. The site lists the kitchen Thursday to Saturday from 12:00pm to 9:30pm.

On the menu (copied from theparkhotel.com.au and static1.squarespace.com on 4 October 2026):

  • Chicken Parmas: $20
  • Eggplant Parmas: $19
  • CHICKEN PARMIGIANA: $29
  • DOUBLE PATTY BEEF BURGER (GFO): $26

Garden: The site pairs the sun-filled beer garden with open fireplaces and a quiet dining room, so it has more than one setting on offer.

Terminus Hotel — 605 Victoria Street, Abbotsford VIC 3067

Terminus Hotel’s site calls itself a place of ‘a ripping beer, flavoursome menu, terrific cocktails, jungle-like beer garden’. AGFG tags it with alfresco dining, a bar, functions and pet friendly. Its site lists an offer of select mains with a glass of house wine, a pot of beer or soft drink for $25; it sits on an events page, so check which days and conditions apply. The site lists trading hours of Sunday to Thursday, 12pm to 10pm.

On the menu (copied from theterminushotel.com.au on 4 October 2026):

  • Select mains with a glass of house wine, a pot of beer or soft drink: $25

Taps: The mains offer on the site includes a pot of beer, but we could not find a published tap list.

Retreat Hotel — 226 Nicholson Street, Abbotsford VIC 3067

Retreat Hotel appears on AGFG with alfresco dining, disabled access, functions and takeaway tags. AGFG lists it closed Monday, open Tuesday from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and open 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM Wednesday to Sunday. We could not find a published menu, so there are no prices to give.

Go on a: Wednesday to Sunday if you want the doors open from 12:00 PM, going by AGFG’s listing.

Bakers Arms Hotel — 355 Victoria Street, Abbotsford VIC 3067

Bakers Arms Hotel’s own site gives its address as 355 Victoria St, Abbotsford, and AGFG carries a listing with a map for the same street. We could not find published hours, a menu or prices in the sources we checked. Treat this entry as a pointer to check, not a review.

Taps: We could not find a published tap list, so check its site before you head down.

Laird Hotel — 149 Gipps Street, Abbotsford VIC 3067

Laird Hotel’s site describes three bars and a massive beer garden downstairs, with accommodation upstairs. The only hours we found are an OpenStreetMap tag: closed Monday, Tuesday to Saturday 18:00 to 24:00, and Sunday 16:00 to 22:00. A tag like that can be out of date. We could not find a published menu or prices.

Go on a: Tuesday to Saturday evening, going by the OpenStreetMap tag, which starts at 18:00 and may be out of date.

Yorkshire Stingo Hotel — 48 Hoddle Street, Abbotsford VIC 3067

Yorkshire Stingo Hotel’s site says ‘140 years old and still kicking on! The Stingo is a pub with a space for everyone.’ It lists a dog friendly beer garden and says it is open 7 days from 12PM to late. AGFG tags the Stingo with live music, alfresco dining, takeaway, gluten free options and vegan options. The site lists the kitchen weekdays 12 to 3PM and 5PM to 9PM, and weekends 12PM to 9PM, though its footer carries an older year, so check it is current.

Garden: The site lists a dog friendly beer garden, but we could not find word on heaters.

Bodriggy Brewing Company — 245 Johnston Street, Abbotsford VIC 3067

Bodriggy Brewing Company is listed by AGFG with a bar, alfresco dining, live music, takeaway, functions and disabled access. AGFG’s hours run Monday to Wednesday 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, Thursday 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM, Friday 12:00 PM to 1:00 AM, and Saturday and Sunday 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM. We could not find a published menu or prices.

Go on a: Friday, if AGFG’s listing is right, since it runs to 1:00 AM.
