Description:

Despite the Exford Hotel being located right in the middle of the CBD and in the heart of Chinatown, many Melburnians have either never noticed it, or have been too scared to go inside. Indeed, it does have a somewhat unfair reputation for being a "bum bar", probably due to the fact that the bottle shop is open til 3am every day, but this is not true. In recent years it has become a popular budget travellers hangout (there is a hostel upstairs), and they regularly have live bands and trivia nights. What is a real draw card is that the Exford is one of the last old school pubs still operating in the city. Built in 1914, it still has the wooden English style bar and a parlor which was popular at the time. A worthy stop to see a bit of history with an active late night crowd.
