Best Pub Promotions in Melbourne

Whether you’re a quiz and trivia fanatic or a sports enthusiast, we’ve scoured the city for the best pub promotions in Melbourne to keep you entertained this winter. With prizes ranging from travel vouchers to drink discounts, here’s how you can have an amazing night without spending too much.

The Corner Hotel

Renowned for its live entertainment and band room, The Corner Hotel has hosted everybody from U2 to The White Stripes, but music aside, whether you’re known as the Ginger Love Gods, or the Mater Splinter’s Students there’s plenty of room for stupid pub quiz team names at The Corner Hotel’s Rooftop Trivia night held every Wednesday from 7.30pm. This thought-provoking and comical night is led by Jess Mcguire and George Hatzigeorgiou who host and deliver questions that primarily revolve around TV, film and music. We advise booking in advance as tables fill up quickly. There’s nothing better than the Rooftop Trivia night on a picturesque rooftop, with a refreshing beer in your hand.

Turf Bar

At the Turf Sports Bar you’ll find great offers and deals so you can have the perfect night with your friends. Wednesday nights play host to ‘It’s Bedlam’, the most exciting night of the week. You can win $750 worth of Peterpans Adventure Travel Prizes each week, plus giveaways and so much more. Expect drink and food deals all night from 7pm on Wednesdays, plus the Killer Pool Competition from 8.30pm with free entry. To top it all off, every Friday night at Turf they have Matilda’s Happiest Hour, (this reminds us of Matilda in the film, when she uses her magic to decorate the house near the end; bliss), where you can buy drinks for $5 from 6-8pm, or wait a little longer and cash in on cooling 2-4-1 cocktails between 9-11pm.
