About Station Hotel

Tucked into a leafy pocket of Footscray off the main drag, this neighbourhood institution pairs serious chargrilled steaks with relaxed westside pub culture. Regulars head straight for the wood-fired grill on Thursday Steak Night—the scotch fillet lands with a textbook sear alongside rich béarnaise and skin-on chips. Out back sits an expansive, tree-shaded beer garden with a dedicated, fully fenced playground where families settle in over cold pints while kids run free. Inside shifts gears entirely: a dimly lit dining room geared for anniversaries and wine pairings, plus a bustling front bar for a quick pour. Weekend afternoons often revolve around the towering Sunday roast, piled high with Yorkshire pudding and pan gravy.

  • Wood-Fired Steaks & Roasts: Known for prime chargrilled scotch fillets, popular Thursday Steak Nights, and a traditional Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding.
  • Sprawling Family Beer Garden: Features a massive open-air beer garden equipped with a fully fenced playground for young children, plus dog-friendly courtyard seating.
  • Multi-Zoned Dining Layout: Distinct architectural layout transitions from a casual front bar and lively beer garden to a quiet, romantic indoor dining room.
  • Polished Hospitality: Attentive floor staff offer insightful wine pairings and celebratory touches for milestone dinners.

  • Masterfully Chargrilled Steaks

    Station Hotel Footscray is my go to for delicious pub food, especially steaks. Perfectly chargrilled, my scotch fillet was hands down one of the best steaks I’ve had in Melbourne

  • Traditional Weekend Sunday Roasts

    The kitchen serves a weekly traditional Sunday roast complete with tender beef, roasted vegetables, and authentic Yorkshire puddings.

    The beef (medium rare) and the vegetables were perfect. The gravy/jus equally so and the Yorkshire pudding excellent.

  • Separated Dining and Casual Spaces

    The multi-zone layout offers varied settings, separating casual outdoor family tables from quiet, civilized indoor restaurant dining.

    However, when the occasion calls for civilised dining, inside is more like a restaurant.
