About Connollys Public House

Connollys Public House on Bay Street in Port Melbourne is a warm, welcoming spot that captures the charm of a classic Irish pub while embracing its coastal location. Inside, you’ll find a cosy blend of dark wood, vintage décor and inviting nooks that encourage relaxed conversation. The bar hums with friendly banter, offering a laid-back escape just moments from the bay. Its menu celebrates hearty pub favourites alongside dishes with a modern twist, designed for sharing over a drink or two; think bangers and mash with red onion jus, along with beer-battered barramundi, salad, chips, peas, tartar sauce and lemon. Whether you’re catching a game, enjoying live music, or simply unwinding with friends, Connollys balances tradition and comfort with an unmistakable local spirit.
