Correction (10 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.
This page answers where you can go for a drink on a date in Lilydale. It covers four places, all in Lilydale: two pubs, the RSL, and a Thai restaurant and bar. We found no cocktail-bar quotes, so this is an honest list of pubs and clubs, not a list of date-night bars.
Each place was confirmed at two independent sources. Hours are named by whose listing they are, and where sources disagree we say so. Menu prices appear only where a menu printed them.
A date does not have to involve alcohol, and the Thai restaurant works for a plain dinner too. Every pick has a plan B.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pub drink, ring about hours | Crown Hotel | see below | not printed here |
| Pub with live music listed | Olinda Creek Hotel | see below | not printed here |
| A club to check first | Lilydale RSL | see below | not printed here |
| Thai plates and BYO wine | Imm Oon Thai Restaurant & Bar | Curry Puffs (4pcs) | $10 |
Crown Hotel — 273 Main Street, Lilydale VIC 3140
Crown Hotel is listed as a pub, and both its own site and OpenStreetMap place it on Main Street. The two sources disagree on closing time, so we are not printing hours. We could not find a menu with prices or any accessibility details in our sources. The site pages carry no date, so treat everything here as a guide.
Exit plan: ring ahead to confirm closing time, and keep a plan B nearby in case it is earlier than you hoped.
Olinda Creek Hotel — 161 Main Street, Lilydale VIC 3140
Olinda Creek Hotel’s own site lists Monday to Sunday from 10:00am to 04:00am. OpenStreetMap shows different hours, so check before you go. AGFG lists Live Music, Alfresco Dining and Takeaway. We could not find accessibility details.
Talk-ability: AGFG lists Live Music, which usually means louder, so pick a night without a gig if you want to hear each other.
Lilydale RSL — 52 Anderson Street, Lilydale VIC 3140
Lilydale RSL appears on its own site and on AGFG, and both give the same address on Anderson Street. We could not find hours, a menu, prices or listed features in our sources. Think of it as a name to check, not a plan to lock in.
Say this: Want to see if the RSL suits us first, with somewhere else lined up if not?
Imm Oon Thai Restaurant & Bar — 133-139 Main Street Service Road, Lilydale VIC 3140
Imm Oon Thai Restaurant & Bar’s contact page lists Monday, Tuesday and Thursday to Sunday as 5.00 to 8.30, with Wednesday closed. The takeaway menu it links prints Curry Puffs (4pcs) at $10. It also prints Satay Chicken (6pcs) at $15. Its site mentions BYO wine only, with a corkage charge per person, and AGFG lists Child Friendly.
On the menu (copied from immoon.com.au/Imm-Oon-Takeaway-Menu-Nov-2025-ab.pdf on 10 October 2026):
- Curry Puffs (4pcs): $10
- Por Pia Moo - Pork Spring Rolls (6pcs): $10
- Satay Chicken (6pcs): $15
- Gai Tod - Crispy Fried Chicken: $15
Split or splurge: split the Curry Puffs (4pcs) at $10 and the Gai Tod - Crispy Fried Chicken at $15, going by the takeaway menu.
