St Andrew’s Day in Melbourne
We’re raising a glass to Scotland’s patron saint one day early, when everyone can make a proper Sunday of it. Expect Scottish pints, Highland whisky and a warm Docklands bar full of familiar accents and new pals.
Celebrating St Andrew’s Day on Sunday 29 November.
St Andrew’s Day officially falls on Monday 30 November. We’re getting the gathering underway on Sunday, with a full day to meet, drink and celebrate Scotland without watching the Monday morning clock.
Tennent’s, McEwan’s and a shelf of Highland whisky.
Scotland’s national day calls for Scottish drinks. We’ve got the taps, the malts and the people who’ll happily help you choose your next round.
Tennent’s Lager
Raised in Scotland and poured cold in Docklands. Crisp, familiar and made for the first pint of a Sunday gathering.

A proper Scottish ale with malt character and a rich amber pour. Exactly the sort of pint that belongs on St Andrew’s weekend.

St Andrew’s Day is a chance for Scots abroad, people with Scottish family and anyone fond of the place to come together. You don’t need the right accent, a kilt or a rehearsed toast. Just pull up a chair.
Invergordon Bar is small, cosy and built for conversation. There are no TVs competing for attention, and the mix of regulars, newcomers and curious locals is part of the point.
If you’re gathering friends, family or workmates, book ahead. Tables for up to 30 can be reserved online, while larger groups can send us an enquiry.
The Saltire is up. The good stuff is pouring.
St Andrew’s weekend suits us rather well. Scottish beer, Highland whisky, tartan on the walls and a community bar that feels a little closer to home.
Meet us in Docklands.
We’re near The District Docklands and inside Melbourne’s free tram zone. Walk-ins are welcome, although booking is sensible for groups and the busier afternoon stretch.
We’re wet-led and proudly BYO food friendly, so pick up your preferred Docklands takeaway and bring it with you.
