Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed pubs we could not stand behind, on streets and under a postcode (3226) that do not match Melton South. It has been rewritten from scratch, and every pub below was checked against its own current website.
A pub’s website is the most honest thing about it: the hours, the deal night, the trivia slot. This page lines those up for the three pubs we could verify in and around Melton South, so you can pick a day, not just a place. We describe what each venue publishes, not how the beer tastes or who is in the bar.
None of the three has an address inside Melton South itself. Melton Entertainment Park is at 2 Ferris Road, which its own site writes as Melton, VIC 3338 and OpenStreetMap places in Cobblebank. Golden Fleece Hotel and Mac’s Hotel are on High Street in Melton, postcode 3337. Prices are copied from the venues’ own pages and menus on 2 October 2026, and specials change, so check the day before you go.

Its site lists open times of Monday-Sunday 10am-4am, with kitchen hours of 12pm-8:30pm Sunday to Thursday and 12pm-9pm Friday and Saturday. It describes itself as a “family friendly local”. The bistro menu is a PDF dated August 2026 in its file name, and its prices are bare numbers.
Deal night: the “$20 Pot & Parma”, 12 - 3PM, Mon - Fri, on its specials page. A parma is a crumbed chicken schnitzel under napoli sauce and melted cheese, and a pot is the Victorian 285 ml beer. On Mondays its “Plenty for twenty” page lists a chef’s selection of meals for $20, all day.
Happy hour: every evening from 10pm to 2am, with $8 schooners of Carlton Draught and Great Northern, in the venue’s words.
The bistro: Cheeseburger, $23.00. The Fleece Burger, $27.00, marked as a signature dish. Steak Sandwich, $30.00, also marked as a signature dish.
Garden: we found no mention of a beer garden or a dog policy on its pages on 2 October 2026. It also lists Oktoberfest specials throughout October.
Go on a: Monday to Friday between 12 and 3PM for the $20 Pot & Parma, or a Monday for the chef’s selection.
Mac’s Hotel — 322-332 High Street, Melton VIC 3337
Its site lists general opening hours of Monday - Saturday: 10:00am - 3:00am and Sunday: 10:00am - 12:00am. It runs a Family Bistro and a Sports Bar. The bistro menu, in the venue’s words, is “a selection of share plates, succulent Graziers steaks, schnitzels and all the classic pub meals”, and the site lists a kids menu in the Bistro and an indoor play area.
The sports bar: its home page lists TVs showing the game, pool tables, full TAB, and Trackside and Sportsbet facilities.
Weekends: “regular entertainment and a dance floor”, per its entertainment page. The pages we read name no acts or dates, so we name none.
Prices: its menu page showed no prices when we read it on 2 October 2026, so we print none.
Garden: we found no mention of a beer garden or a dog policy on its pages on 2 October 2026.
Go on a: Friday or Saturday if the weekend entertainment is the point. The listed hours run to 3:00am.
Melton Entertainment Park — 2 Ferris Road, Cobblebank VIC 3338
A harness racing venue with a bar and a bistro: the Gammalite Sports Bar, which includes a TAB, and the Popular Alm Bistro, which its own site says has views of the harness racing track. The site writes its locality as “Melton, VIC 3338”. Postcode 3338 is shared by Melton South, Cobblebank and Weir Views, and OpenStreetMap’s suburb boundaries place the racecourse in Cobblebank, so we head it as Cobblebank, where the map puts it, and do not count it as inside Melton South.
Deal night: Monday Burger and Pasta, $20, with five burger and pasta options. Tuesday Steak & Rib Special, $25. Wednesday Parma Night, $20 for parmas. The bistro also lists a $23 lunch menu Monday to Friday.
The sports bar menu (a PDF dated December 2025): Chicken Parma, $29.00. Beef & Bacon Burger, $27.00.
Trivia: “Quizzame Trivia on Wednesday nights (free participation)”, per the sports bar page, which gives no start time.
Garden: “Outside seating overlooking the track available”, per the sports bar page.
Hours: the sports bar page says open 7 days a week from 11.30 am til late, but another part of the site lists Thurs - Sat, so check before you go.
Live music: “Live bands for Major Events and Monthly Tribute Shows – FREE ENTRY”, per its events page. No dated gig list came through when we read it.
Go on a: Wednesday, when the $20 Parma Night and the trivia land on the same night.

How we checked
On 2 October 2026 we read each pub’s own website: its home page, specials and events pages, and the menu PDFs for Golden Fleece Hotel (August 2026 in its file name) and the Melton Entertainment Park sports bar (December 2025 in its file name). Mac’s Hotel’s menu page exposed no prices. We confirmed each pub at a second source on a different domain: OpenStreetMap for all three, where Melton Entertainment Park is still tagged under its former name, Tabcorp Park Racecourse. Golden Fleece’s menu prices are bare numbers on the PDF, shown here with dollar signs. The pages we read give conflicting hours for the Melton Entertainment Park sports bar, so we flag them and print no single answer. Postcodes are from the Australian postcode list.
