One of Melbourne's Best Beer Gardens
There are plenty of beer gardens in Melbourne, but none feel quite like Dr Morse. It’s open air but covered where it counts. There are vines overhead, warm lighting and a brick fireplace that keeps things cosy once the sun goes down. A disco ball hangs above the courtyard and in-house DJs play Thursday to Sunday, so the energy naturally builds as the night goes on. It works just as well for a long lunch as it does for after-work drinks, date nights or lazy Sunday sessions.
A Lush Outdoor Beer Garden in Melbourne's Inner East
Our beer garden keeps Melbourne locals coming back for more regardless of the weather. There are covered areas when the rain rolls in and heaters for cooler nights. When the sun’s out you can relax under the open sky and make the most of it.
The layout mixes standing room with communal stools and long shared benches that keep things feeling social. You’ll also spot the brick wood-fired oven on display at the heart of the space. We comfortably host groups large and small, up to 140 cocktail style guests. Walk-ins are welcome but it gets busy on weekends so we recommend booking.

Bodriggy Beers on Tap and Italian Sharing Food
The drinks are a big drawcard at Dr Morse. You can grab Bodriggy beers on tap including Utropia Pale Ale and Bodriggy Lager. Not drinking beer? There are cocktails, wines and seasonal spritzes that hit the spot.
On the food side you’ll find Italian bistro favourites made for sharing. Think antipasti, fresh pasta, meatballs and wood-fired pizza bread alongside a seasonal menu that changes through the year. Take a look at our menu before you visit.
Bookings, Walk-Ins and Private Hire
Walk-ins are always welcome, although weekends can fill up quickly. If you’re planning drinks with friends or coming in with a bigger group it’s worth booking ahead. Day to day the beer garden runs as a casual shared space. We also offer private hire and functions for groups between 20 and 140 cocktail style guests, except Friday and Saturday from 6pm. Want to lock something in? Book a table or enquire about a function now.
How to Find the Dr Morse Beer Garden
You’ll find Dr Morse at 274 Johnston Street in Abbotsford directly underneath Victoria Park Station and around 15 minutes from Flinders Street by train. There’s also 4-hour free parking on Lulie Street plus easy tram and bus access nearby. For a Melbourne beer garden close to Fitzroy, Collingwood and the CBD, it’s hard to beat for convenience.
