Hotel Esplanade - Espy

Known locally, simply as the espy, Hotel Esplanade is St Kilda's iconic seaside pub with five levels of music, arts, cocktails, beers, good and fun.

'As much as you've bought The Espy, you'll never really own it' - a message passed on from the previous owners of Hotel Esplanade and a statement that rings true today.

Your favourite band in The Gershwin Room, pre-gig beers in the Star Wars bar, stumbling in from the seaside... everyone has a story to tell about The Espy. 140 years of stories and secrets are hidden in its walls, from budding romances, to celebrations, break ups and make ups. If the walls could talk, they'd tell some unbelievable tales.

A home for many years to Melbourne's colourful characters, from members of the arts community, to musicians looking for their first big break and the philanthropist, Alfred Felton, who lived and died in The Espy.

To put it simply, there is no pub like it.
