Overview
Sitting on bustling Sydney Road in Coburg, Hotel Lombardo is a stylishly revamped pub that wears its Italian influence proudly while holding fast to classic pub culture. Formerly the Woodlands Hotel, the site has undergone a complete transformation into a lively, contemporary venue that blends European sophistication with inner-north charm.
The fit-out is warm and inviting, featuring dark timber finishes, rustic accents, soft lighting, and vintage Australiana layered with Mediterranean touches. The aesthetic sets the tone for a venue that’s comfortable and elevated without being pretentious. It’s just as fitting for a casual midweek pint as it is for a night out with friends.
Hotel Lombardo’s bar champions independent producers, pouring craft beers from local breweries and an ever-changing list of natural and minimal-intervention wines, both local and imported. Cocktails lean creative and seasonal, and there’s plenty to explore across the list.
The food is where the pub really shines. Expect Italian-inspired pub classics like lamb and rosemary schnitzels, burrata with heirloom tomatoes, gnocchi with sage butter, and chargrilled steaks. It’s not just pub grub—it’s refined, nostalgic, and comforting.
Regular events, a welcoming dog-friendly courtyard, and weekly food specials keep the energy high and the locals coming back. Whether you’re there for Sunday lunch, a date night, or just a great drink and a snack, Hotel Lombardo makes every visit feel like a special occasion.
