Doesn’t really cater for food allergies due to cross contamination, should take GF off the menu.

About the restaurant

A Bridge to the Pub Welcome to the Golden Gate. No, you haven´t landed in San Fran; you´re in South Melbourne´s funky restaurant district. The Golden Gate Hotel may evoke images of blinding casino lights and flashy American cocktails, but it´s actually just one of our home-grown Aussie pubs. The towering corner building has all of the colonial charm that we love about Melbourne´s architecture, and the interior is stylish and hip. The Golden Gate Hotel does classic pub favourites like pizzas, steaks and burgers, but they also branch out into some classier mod Oz dishes. The crab and chorizo linguini tastes as delicious as its name is strange, and the zucchini flowers will bloom on your plate – quite literally. Like any good contemporary pub, The Golden Gate has plenty gluten free and vego option that even the carnivorous iron-guts among us can´t resist. Come in for happy hour and make the most out of the great Aussie beers and cute colourful cocktails. The Golden Gate Hotel will shine its golden light on your mealtime. Best dish: crab and chorizo linguini
