Goldy's Tavern

Formerly the Leinster Arms - "Chopper" Read's favourite haunt - Goldy's is a ripping spot, situated just back from Hoddle Street in one direction, and Smith Street in the other.

70s-inspired decor, friendly service, an overwhelmingly dog-friendly vibe, cold Carlton Draught, classic pub fare and a pool table are just some of the features you can expect from this cozy watering hole.
