Book NowAbout The Woodlands Hotel
A quintessential Coburg local pairing leafy spaces with properly poured pints and hearty pub fare. Grab a stool in the soaring glass atrium or head straight out back to the dog-friendly beer garden strung with festoon lights. Downstairs keeps it old-school—order your pints and feeds straight up at the bar. Regulars vouch for the Wednesday parma loaded with smoked ham, Thursday porterhouse steak night, and crisp Sunday roasts bathed in gravy. Evenings hum with weekly trivia, chilled pints of craft ale, and an open log fire when the Melbourne chill sets in.
- Multi-zoned layout: A soaring plant-filled glass atrium, an open-air beer garden, and an upstairs private event space provide distinct settings under one roof.
- Dog-friendly beer garden: Pups are welcome in the spacious outdoor beer garden beneath shaded canopies and festoon lights.
- Bar ordering downstairs: Orders downstairs are placed directly at the bar, keeping the atmosphere relaxed and unpretentious.

Ellie Lazer Attentive Staff & Reassuring Dietary Care
Walk-up bar service and dedicated allergy accommodations ensure diners feel thoroughly supported whether managing large table orders or specific dining needs.
To make matters a little more complicated I have a severe crustacean allergy which causes anaphylactic shock. All hands on deck to provide me with a delicious steak with mashed spuds and a salad.
Sue Gledhill Stress-Free Milestone Celebrations
From milestone birthdays to weddings and baptisms, private zones like the upstairs hall and plant-filled atrium offer seamless event coordination that leaves guests raving.
The function space upstairs was perfect, and so many of our guests commented on what a great venue it was. Everyone had an amazing time, and the relaxed atmosphere made for a memorable night.
Aron Welcoming Neighbourhood Gathering Spot
A relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere where friends, prams, and children are easily accommodated for unpretentious social gatherings.
It's just a really nice family friendly neighbourhood pub.
Ching Jin Tee Atmospheric Spaces for Every Mood
The airy, plant-filled atrium and cosy open fireplaces provide distinct settings tailored for quiet conversation or warming up on cold Melbourne afternoons.
The Woodlands is a great pub with seating for every mood. The upstairs dining hall is quirky and cool, the beer garden is perfect in summer, and the Atrium is my personal favourite—filled with indoor plants and a quieter vibe that’s actually good for conversation.
Moggie Dog-Friendly Open-Air Beer Garden
A dedicated outdoor beer garden offers shaded tables and festoon lighting where guests can comfortably drink and dine alongside their dogs.
I picked it after looking on Google maps for a dog-friendly pub, also cos of the pretty festoon lights in the beer garden, cos I wanted the ✨ambience✨
