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 between 2 October 2026 and 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
A pub’s own website is the honest bit: the garden, the deal, the hours. This page covers four pubs where a beer garden is named in the venue’s own words. One is in Prahran, two are in South Yarra and one is in Melbourne, outside Prahran proper, so we name the suburb each time.
We checked each against its own site plus a second source. We found no published tap lists, so there are none here, and trivia only appears if a venue lists it. Prices are copied as printed, mate, and anything we could not find we say so.
