Main Dining Room
The Main Dining Room is a re-opening of one of Melbourne’s most reputable eating establishments and is now known as the Mitre Steakhouse & Grill.
The open area on the first floor of the Mitre was made famous as the House of Lords’ Restaurant, flourishing in the late seventies under the patronage of stockbrokers – many a deal was cut in this room!
Today, the refitted Steakhouse owes all its style in keeping with the original theme of the venue. Stained glass windows let sunshine enter the old-style, cosy environs. Enjoy our premium, grain-fed, MSA grade steak, sizzling from the immense char-grill in our comfortable, club-like atmosphere.
Private boardroom
The Mitre Tavern Steakhouse also offers a wonderful facility in our private Boardroom. The Boardroom, or the House of Lords as it was called in its heyday, is located on the top floor of the Tavern.
The Boardroom was where the VIP guests of the Mitre used to enjoy a port (and possibly a cigar or two) at their leisure. Today, we offer the Boardroom as a fully equipped private space, complete with a broadband connection, phone line and AV equipment upon arrangement.
The Boardroom is perfect for small to medium-sized business meetings, private lunches or dinners and presentations.
Functions
