Overview
The Fish Creek Hotel, affectionately known as "The Fishy Pub," is more than just a local watering hole—it’s a landmark in the South Gippsland region. Located in the tiny artistic township of Fish Creek, just a short drive from Wilsons Promontory National Park, the hotel combines traditional country hospitality with artistic flair and historic charm.
The hotel’s striking art deco exterior, built in the 1930s, makes it instantly recognisable, with the steel marlin sculpture perched above the entrance capturing attention and curiosity. Inside, the building retains much of its vintage charm, with warm timber panelling, a classic public bar, and cosy dining spaces filled with local artwork—reflecting the area’s strong connection to the arts community.
The menu at Fish Creek Hotel offers hearty pub classics, fresh seafood dishes, and seasonal specials using local Gippsland produce. It’s a place where you might enjoy a porterhouse steak, a fisherman’s basket, or a vegetarian risotto, paired with regional wines or a cold beer from the tap. The dining room caters to families, couples, hikers, and day-trippers looking for comfort and flavour.
The hotel also features accommodation, with comfortable pub-style rooms perfect for those exploring the Prom or touring the South Gippsland foodie trail. Events and live music often feature in the warmer months, and the venue supports the creative community by displaying works from local artists and photographers.
With its welcoming vibe, historic design, and role as a community hub, the Fish Creek Hotel is a must-visit for anyone venturing through this scenic corner of Victoria.
