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 between 9 October 2026 and 10 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Here is the honest version. Four pubs and clubs made this page, and only one of them carries an outdoor tag in our records: Olinda Creek Hotel, which the Australian Good Food Guide lists with “Alfresco Dining”. For the other three we have no garden detail to print, so we line up what each one does publish: hours, live music and menu prices.
Three of the four have Lilydale addresses. The fourth, Chirnside Park Country Club, is in Chirnside Park, so this is a page for in and around Lilydale. None of the sites we read published a tap list, so we say nothing about the taps. Pick a day and a place, then ring ahead if the garden matters.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| The one outdoor tag we found, with live music listed | Olinda Creek Hotel | see below | not printed here |
| A Main Street pub to check before you commit | Crown Hotel | see below | not printed here |
| A pub bistro with a printed menu and prices | The Lilydale International | ANGUS BEEF BURGER | $32 |
| Free Friday live music, for members and guests | Chirnside Park Country Club | see below | not printed here |
Olinda Creek Hotel — 161 Main Street, Lilydale VIC 3140
AGFG lists Olinda Creek Hotel with “Alfresco Dining”, “Live Music” and “Takeaway”. Those are listing features, so read them as AGFG’s labels rather than a description of a garden. The pub’s own site prints “Mon - Sun: 10:00am - 04:00am” as its opening hours, but the site carries no date for us to check, and the OpenStreetMap tag shows a different, shorter range. Ring ahead before a long arvo plan.
Garden: AGFG lists “Alfresco Dining”, and that is all we have, so we cannot say whether the space is covered, heated or dog-friendly.
Crown Hotel — 273 Main Street, Lilydale VIC 3140
The Crown Hotel is a pub on Main Street. Its own site lists a bistro, and the hours in our records come only from an OpenStreetMap tag, which may be out of date, so we are not printing them. The site carries no date either, which means you should check it is current before you go. We found no menu prices to quote.
Garden: We have no garden detail for the Crown, so ring the pub before you plan a session around one.
The Lilydale International — 471 Maroondah Highway, Lilydale VIC 3140
This is a hotel with a bistro, so think pub bistro rather than a restaurant-only venue. The contact page prints trading hours: lunch and dinner service, with Thursday to Saturday running to 9pm and Sunday to Wednesday ending at 8:30pm. The bistro menu PDF named “June 26” lists a bowl of chips at $10 and the mushroom arancini (V) at $18, which is heaps of choice for a shared plate. AGFG lists the pub as “Child Friendly”, “Vegan Options” and “Takeaway”.
Go on a: Thursday to Saturday if you want dinner service until 9pm, per the trading hours on the contact page.
Chirnside Park Country Club — 68 Kingswood Drive, Chirnside Park VIC 3116
This one is a club in Chirnside Park, not Lilydale. Its own site lists opening hours of Monday to Wednesday 9am to 10pm, Thursday to Saturday 9am to 12am and Sunday 10am to 10pm. The site’s live shows page says: “On Friday nights throughout the year we offer free live music to members and guests in the lounge.” We could not read prices or a drinks list, and the page names no outdoor area.
Go on a: Friday, when the club says it offers free live music to members and guests in the lounge. Keen to go as a guest? Check the entry rules with the club first.
