Correction (2 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten, and every place below was checked against its own current information.
A pub’s website is the most honest thing about it: the tap list, the deal night, the trivia slot, and whether the garden has heaters. This guide lines up what is published so you can pick a day, not just a place.
The short version is short. We could verify one pub with a beer garden listing near Williams Landing, and it is in Point Cook, not Williams Landing. No beer garden inside Williams Landing made it through our checks, which is a limit of our checking, not a claim that none exists. The Phoenix Hotel is listed as having a beer garden by one pub directory; its own homepage text does not use the words, so confirm the garden before you head out.

The Phoenix Hotel — 40 Wallace Avenue, Point Cook VIC 3030
The Phoenix sits at 40 Wallace Avenue in nearby Point Cook. Pubfinda’s listing for it reads “Beer Garden”, and the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG) feature list reads “Alfresco Dining Disabled Access Fully Licensed Functions Live Music Takeaway”. The pub’s own homepage promotes a bistro and the line “Every game live and loud at The Phoenix Hotel on the big screen!”. It says “OPEN 10AM TO 3AM DAILY”; OpenStreetMap lists an earlier opening time, so we have used the venue’s own. The kitchen is “Open All Day till 9pm Friday, Saturday & Sunday”.
The July 2026 bistro menu PDF lists garlic bread at $8, a chicken schnitzel at $26, a beef burger at $26 and a chicken parma at $29, with a vegan burger also at $26. A parma is a chicken schnitzel under napoli sauce and melted cheese, and it is the Victorian pub order. The same PDF has a separate seniors column, where a chicken parma with chips and salad is $19; we did not capture who qualifies, so ask.
Taps: not listed in what we read.
Deal night: none listed on the pages we read, apart from that seniors column.
Trivia: not listed on the pages we read.
Garden: listed by Pubfinda as a beer garden. Covered, heated and dog-friendly: not stated.
Live music: AGFG lists it as a feature. We saw no gig listing, so we name no acts or nights.
Go on a: Saturday or Sunday arvo. The kitchen is open all day till 9pm from Friday to Sunday, so an afternoon drink and a feed line up. Confirm the garden first.
Quick answers
Is there a beer garden in Williams Landing?
We could not verify one. The one listed beer garden near Williams Landing that we could verify is the Phoenix Hotel at 40 Wallace Avenue, Point Cook. That reflects our checking, not proof that no Williams Landing venue has one.
Does the Phoenix Hotel in Point Cook have a beer garden?
Pubfinda lists a “Beer Garden” for it. The pub’s own homepage text, as we read it on 2 October 2026, does not use the words, so confirm before you go.
Is the Phoenix Hotel’s beer garden dog-friendly or heated?
Not stated. Pubfinda lists a “Beer Garden” and AGFG lists “Alfresco Dining”, but neither source says whether it is covered, heated or dog-friendly. Ask the pub.

Its own homepage says “OPEN 10AM TO 3AM DAILY”, and the kitchen is open all day till 9pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Monday to Thursday the homepage lists lunch 11:30am to 2:30pm and dinner 5pm to 8:30pm.

How we checked
On 2 October 2026 we read the Phoenix Hotel’s own homepage, contact page and July 2026 bistro menu PDF, and confirmed the address at AGFG. The “Beer Garden” and “Live Music” labels come from third-party listings (Pubfinda and AGFG), not from the pub itself, which is why this page hedges them. The menu prices are bare numbers printed on the PDF (“GARLIC BREAD 8”); the dollar signs are ours. Menus and hours change, and the pub’s own site and OpenStreetMap give different opening times. Both photos are illustrative, from Unsplash: they show tasting flights, and we make no claim that the Phoenix serves them.
