Correction (11 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 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
A drinks date wants somewhere easy to find and easy to leave. This page has two places, both in Bundoora: a pub and a restaurant that says it has a licensed bar. That is the full count, so we have not padded it.
Each place was checked against at least two sources, including its own site, AGFG and OpenStreetMap. Nothing here assumes drinking, since both places also run food.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| A pub with long listed hours | Bundoora Hotel | see below | not printed here |
| A licensed bar with curries | Spice Kitchen Bundoora | see below | see below |
Bundoora Hotel — 49 Plenty Road, Bundoora VIC 3083
Bundoora Hotel is at 49 Plenty Road, as its own site, AGFG and OpenStreetMap all agree. Its site lists opening hours of 10:00am to 4:00am, Monday to Sunday. The OpenStreetMap tag lists a different range, 09:00 to 17:00, so call ahead before a late plan. AGFG lists Alfresco Dining, and its site describes a Family Bistro with a kids menu and an indoor playground.
Plan B: if you want a quieter table, ask the pub about seating away from the family bistro; accessibility details are not stated here.
Spice Kitchen Bundoora — 1268A Plenty Rd, Bundoora VIC 3083
Spice Kitchen’s site says: “We have a fully licensed Bar and We are BYO Wine only!” so the bar is the headline for a drinks date. Its menu prints Daal Makhni at $18.95. It also prints Chicken Tikka Masala at $21.95. We have not printed its hours, so check before you go.
On the menu (copied from spicekitchenbundoora.com.au on 9 October 2026):
- COCONUT RICE: $7.95
- DAAL MAKHNI: $18.95
- CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA: $21.95
- ANDRA SPICY CHICKEN: $21.95
Split or splurge: share Coconut Rice at $7.95 on its menu with a curry and keep the bill simple.
