The Locals' Local

Renowned throughout the years for the quality of our food, beverage and most importantly, our friendly service, we pride ourselves on ensuring that every customer leaves The Elgin having had a happy and memorable visit. On the ground floor we have our popular sports bar with TAB facilities which flows down into our dining area where you can experience a delicious mix of elevated pub classics and modern Australian cuisine. Our bar is well known for showing a huge range of live sports with surround sound creating an exciting feel for all fans, whether you are on your own or with friends. Upstairs is our laid-back, all-weather rooftop deck. Boasting beautiful city views, festoon lighting, casual seating and a fully-stocked bar. Soak up the sun, enjoy a cocktail under the stars or get cosy next to the fireplace in the cooler months. Also on the first level are our private and semi-private function spaces, with the flexibility to suit a range of events, catering from from 20 to 120 people. So whether you’re looking for a place to gather with friends, an after-work meeting spot, or just somewhere to watch the game on a Saturday afternoon, the Elgin is the local’s favourite for any occasion.
