Palace and Port historical series finally on display!
From dockers to drag queens, for 150 years the corner of City Road has always known how to adapt.
Today, the Palace is exactly what it has always quietly insisted on being: a proper pub. Locals come for the craft beers, real fireplaces, live music and one of the best Sunday roasts in the area.
The names above the door have changed over time. Turns out the pub beneath them never really did.

Special thanks to Port Melbourne Historical Society, and Community Services and Culture.

**Breaking news** Fullers London Pride landed and now pouring!

Chris clearly approves this one! 🙌

Fullers Brewery is one of the best in England - a classic historic brewery founded in 1845 at the Griffin Brewery in Chiswick, West London.
London Pride is their flagship beer and one of the most popular ales in the country.

A traditional English bitter/amber ale first brewed in the 1950s and named after the “London Pride” flower associated with London’s resilience after WWII.

Another Fullers classic is their ESB which is also on its way to Port! Watch this space
