dinner

Tucked in the heart of Richmond, The Leadbeater Hotel has been turning up the volume since 2019. 

A classic out front and a live wire out back, it pairs old-school pub vibes, cold pints and proper pub grub in the front bar with a bandroom that hums when the amps light up. It's the sort of place that gathers locals for knock-offs before the doors swing open to a gig. As they like to say, “The Leadbeater isn't just a place to play - it's where Melbourne's music history breathes.”

On the plate, it's honest pub fare dialled for flavour. Think wings that swing between spicy buffalo heat and a sticky house-spiced barbecue glaze, and a white bean dip brightened with lemon and jalapeños, given a lick of honey and scooped with corn chips. Burgers bring the joy: the double-patty indulgence of Smashed Mate? with American cheese and pickles, or Smashed On Veg? for the plant-powered crowd. Classics stay comforting, from fish and chips to chicken schnitzel with gravy and lemon, with the kitchen sink salad piling in cos, cucumber, tomato, capsicum and white beans under a creamy dressing.

Round it off the old-fashioned way with Neapolitan ice cream with sprinkles. Grab a table, bring your mates, and settle in for a feed and a show - the Leady has your night sorted!
