The Mildura Grand is a grand Victorian pub on Seventh Street that has been the social centre of Mildura since the 1880s. The main bar is remarkable — a long, ornate counter running most of the length of a large room, with the kind of proportions that remind you this was built to serve crowds, not boutique drinkers. Come for a beer, admire the architecture, and judge the longest-bar claim for yourself.
Beyond the bar, the hotel has a bistro serving solid pub food, and the ground floor complex includes Stefano's restaurant in the cellars. Even if you are not eating, it is worth walking through the public rooms to see the Victorian-era fittings.
