Most searches for the Prince Alfred Hotel come down to three questions: where the Richmond venue is, when it trades and what the menu covers. An Uber Eats listing places the Richmond pub at 619 Church Street, Richmond VIC 3121. This guide separates what the published listings support from what they leave open, including the other Prince Alfred listings that searchers also look up.

Prince Alfred Hotel Richmond
The Richmond venue is listed at 619 Church Street, Richmond VIC 3121. Broadsheet and the Uber Eats page both give that street address, which is the reference point for the rest of this guide.
Address and trading hours
The operator listing gives Sunday to Thursday trading of 12pm to 10pm and Friday trading of 11:30am to 1am. The listing does not state Saturday hours. That listing is undated and has not been checked against an official page, so readers should contact the venue before relying on the times.
A dated OpenTable page gives a different lunch pattern. Its metadata date of 5 December 2017 shows Sunday and Wednesday to Saturday lunch hours of 11:30am to 4:45pm, which does not match the Sunday to Thursday 12pm start in the operator listing.
Four figures from the listings stand out:
- Friday trading closes at 1am, three hours later than the 10pm close from Sunday to Thursday.
- The Tuesday porterhouse at $29 sits $6 below the listed $35 porterhouse price.
- The beer garden opens at 12pm seven days a week, the same time the Sunday to Thursday trading day starts.
- Five of eight related searches name a suburb other than Richmond, so the name alone does not identify one venue.
Beer garden and the Chelsea Room
The beer garden is listed as open from 12pm to late, seven days a week. The Chelsea Room is listed as bookable for celebrations. The listing gives no capacity, booking fee or minimum spend for the room.
Booking tip: ask the venue about room capacity and booking terms before you plan a celebration, because the listing does not give them.
Prince Alfred Richmond menu
The menu is built on pub classics. The operator listing names parmas, steaks and fish and chips, and Broadsheet’s account lists mini burgers, cod croquettes, a roast beef sandwich and tuna nicoise.
Pub classics on the menu
The operator listing names the parma, steak and fish and chips range. Broadsheet’s description gives the only other dish names the sources hold for the Richmond kitchen. No prices for those dishes are given, so this guide does not put a figure on them.
Mid-week lunch and dinner
A listing describes the venue as suited to a mid-week lunch or dinner. Its one stated mid-week price is a Tuesday porterhouse at $29, which is $6 below the listed $35 porterhouse price.
Tuesday offer: the $29 price comes from the operator listing, which gives no date for the offer and no terms.
The trade-off: the Tuesday value is the only mid-week price in the sources, and Broadsheet’s note on queues several deep at weekends describes a different day, so the two cannot be compared directly.
Prince Alfred Richmond reviews
Two review platforms give the Richmond venue different scores, and both carry dates that are old or inconsistent.
What the review text says
The Uber Eats page shows a 4.6 rating from more than 120 ratings, but its page metadata is dated 17 July 2018 while the listed review date is 16 February 2023. OpenTable shows 3.8 from 8 reviews, with a metadata date of 5 December 2017. This guide does not average the two scores.
A single review-platform snippet describes the venue as a Richmond institution. The snippet is undated and has no link, so it reflects one source rather than a pattern across reviewers.
Renovation and décor
The same snippet says the venue was recently renovated, with food and décor above a standard pub. The renovation claim carries no date, so it cannot be placed in time. It is the only description of the décor in the sources.
Dates to check: both rating pages carry metadata dates that conflict with, or sit far from, the review dates shown on the same page.
The catch: the ratings and the renovation note describe the venue as it was listed when each source was captured, not as it trades now.
Prince Alfred Hotel Carlton
Five of the eight related searches name a suburb other than Richmond. The related searches name Carlton, St Kilda, Port Melbourne, Cremorne and Booval. The sources cover the Carlton and Port Melbourne venues in some detail, but give no current hours, menus or addresses for St Kilda, Cremorne or Booval.
St Kilda, Port Melbourne, Cremorne and Booval searches
The Port Melbourne venue at 355 Bay Street has the most detail. An Uber Eats listing shows a Duke Original Burger and Chips at $22.00, Chicken Parma at $29.00, a 300g Scotch Fillet at $48.00 and a 300g Sirloin at $43.00, though its metadata is dated 8 May 2019. The 3AW review from 2022 gives the Duke Original at $19 and mains around $27, so the burger price differs by $3 between sources dated three years apart.
A third-party menu PDF gives an average price of A$17 across the listed items. That figure is an aggregator-derived claim and should be read with that caveat. A Tripadvisor listing for the Melbourne venue describes a Viking-themed interior and beer served in a horn, but the listing does not tie those details to a suburb.
The aggregated Wanderlog listing is for an Ipswich venue, not a Melbourne one, so this guide excludes it from its Melbourne claims.
What is and is not verified for other locations
For Carlton, the only dated source is a 2019 3AW review of the venue at 191 Grattan St. No current hours are given for it, and the evidence does not establish whether it still trades. St Kilda, Cremorne and Booval have no verified hours, menus or addresses in the sources.
Confirm the operator and address before relying on any Prince Alfred listing outside Richmond. For a separate Melbourne hotel with its own review and menu history, see Hotel South Melbourne reviews, menu and history. For help matching a hotel name to the right venue, see The Australian Hotel: which venue matches your need.
Price band at the Richmond venue
OpenTable lists the Richmond venue as casual dining at $40 and under. That page’s metadata is dated 5 December 2017, so the band is an older listing figure. The Tuesday porterhouse at $29 and the listed $35 porterhouse price both sit below that $40 ceiling.
An Uber Eats page for the Richmond venue carries a $$$ price indicator. That label does not match the OpenTable band, and no source reconciles the two.
The bottom line: the Richmond price band is documented in two places that disagree, so check the current menu before budgeting.
Who the Richmond venue suits
- Mid-week lunch and dinner diners: a listing describes the venue as suited to a mid-week lunch or dinner.
- Groups planning a celebration: the Chelsea Room is listed as bookable for celebrations.
- Beer garden visitors: the garden is listed as open from 12pm to late, seven days a week.
- Value-minded diners: the Tuesday porterhouse at $29 is listed $6 below the $35 porterhouse price.
The pattern: each segment rests on operator listing text rather than on reviewer accounts of the room, the garden or the value offer.
“What you would expect to find from a ‘Uni Pub’, a badge always worn with honour, is here.”
– Tony Leonard, 3AW reviewer
“The Prince Alfred in Port Melbourne could easily be a case study for those wanting to go into Pub Hospitality and see how a small pub operates and successfully trade given the surrounding competition.”
– Tony Leonard, 3AW reviewer
