Overview of Baden Powell Hotel

The Baden Powell Hotel is located only a few minutes from the Melbourne CBD and occupies a prominent corner and Victorian Terrace dating back to 1878. The Hotel acts as a historic landmark in the area and has been trading as a pub for over 130 years. Purchased by a couple of local publicans in 2008, the Hotel has undergone extensive renovation to include a private event space, two main dining rooms, a formal outdoor courtyard, three bars and eleven boutique rooms available for short-term accommodation. The resulting style and ambience reflects its heritage and surroundings - a classic pub with modern hospitality.
The ethos behind hospitality at The Baden Powell Hotel is simple: great food and drinks in a welcoming and homely atmosphere. Our menu, designed by Head Chef Raymond Larkins, focuses on classic and contemporary Italian food, produce driven and well executed. The heart of the kitchen is our Italian-made pizza oven, in which we cook our dough direct on stone. Thin pastry pizzas are topped with artisan produce and served bianco or tomato based with your own pizza slicer and a side of chilli oil. A list of specials changes daily and a sharing menu compliments mains.

These guys are doing a fantastic job providing great food for a fair price combined with the freshest of drinks and even better service. Everything is delicious, and the drinks range is new and exciting. Pizza's could be the best in Melbourne at the moment.

After a struggle getting a table up the road, I called a friend, asking advice for a good pizza in Collingwood. She told me of a Hotel that reopened called the Baden Powell. Scout memories came flooding back as I made my way into the hotel. First and foremost the pizzas are amazing. Thin base, cooked to perfection with great toppings. I had a snapper pizza with clams and capers. Divine.

A great, compact wine list and a massive range of beers satisfied my need for some interesting booze. And the menus cute, zine like and full of great content. The place is boisterous and fun. A great find.

We only had a quick pizza on the way home from the football. It was absolutely perfect, thin, crip crust and not overloaded with topping. Rivals Ladro for its pizzas in our view. Hoping to get back soon to sample more of the food. Good range of beers on tap and a nice new fitout.
