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 on 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
A pub’s website is the honest bit: it tells you the deal night, the trivia slot and whether dogs are allowed in the garden. Here are those published details set side by side for five venues, so you can choose a day of the week and not only a pub.
Four are in Northcote and one, The Terminus Hotel, is in Fitzroy North, so this is Fairfield and its neighbours rather than Fairfield alone. Each was checked against two independent sources.
Deals change, so where a price appears we say it was listed, and where we found no price we say so.
