Beehive Hotel, HAWTHORN, VIC

The Beehive is about being yourself, not trying to conform to society, and getting a few cold beers in at the same time.

It's grunge, alternative, uncomplicated. Go on, put your beer on the pool table if you want; it's not like anybody is going to tell you off. People want to be themselves and play pool or even do some karaoke. To chill out, basically.

There's the pool tables, arcade games, the lighting is kept fairly dark, and the bar serves your pots with ice hanging off them.

The place to be is definitely in the public bar.

Always Busy This place is always rocking, and deservedly so.

The Beehive has recently changed hands and with this change of ownership comes a strong management team and a chef focused on providing a new and inviting style of “your local pub”, offering something for everyone in a safe friendly environment.

The hotel has a traditional public bar, beer garden, a relaxing lounge bar, 2 pool tables, 2 private function areas, a dining room and a large car park behind the hotel.

This is a great place to mix with locals, share a yarn, chow down on some pub grub, or just enjoy a coldie in the beer garden.
