Cheap pints in Melbourne CBD: where to start
After-work beers don’t need to start with a hunt for happy hour. The King Hotel, The Oxford Scholar and Mail Exchange Hotel feature in this list of lower regular pint prices in Melbourne’s CBD. Pick your beer, find a table and let the catch-up run past six.

Keep the catch-up in the city
There’s a difference between choosing Carlton Draught at The King and a Mountain Culture lager at The Oxford Scholar, even when the pint prices sit close together. We’ve kept the beer names visible so you can choose the round as well as the pub.
All three of those pubs have sports screens, and there’s food in the menus below if one drink becomes dinner. The Oxford Scholar’s parma and the steaks across the list give you something more useful to compare than a pint price on its own.
Where to find a cheaper pint
The King has screens and a food menu if an after-work drink becomes dinner. The steak sandwich gives you a meal to put beside the Carlton pint when working out the bill.
