About ABH Pub Group —
More Than a Pub Group, We’re a people-first hospitality company.
ABH Pub Group was founded on a simple idea that great pubs are built on more than bricks. They’re built on good people, great service, and real community connections.
Our leadership team brings decades of experience in hospitality, events, and venue management. We back our venues with strategy, support, and a whole lot of heart helping each one grow, thrive, and bring its unique energy to life.
We’re proud to be a growing name in Melbourne’s hospitality scene and prouder still of the people who make it happen every day.
Our Story
Founded in 2003, Melbourne’s ABH Pub Group (Australian Bar Holdings) has grown to become one of the city’s most trusted names in hospitality.
With a passion for timeless venues and genuine service, we’re proud custodians of some of Melbourne’s most established and character-rich pubs and bars. Our collective includes Murmur, Myrtle, Hightail, The Mint, Natural History, and The Penny Black.
ABH is more than a hospitality group — we’re community builders. From historic watering holes to modern city haunts, every venue in our family is united by the same spirit: warm welcomes, great food and drink, and an atmosphere that feels like home.
Rooted in tradition, driven by quality, and always evolving — we’re here to celebrate classic pub culture, the Melbourne way.
Our Approach
ABH breathes new life into Melbourne’s most iconic venues, blending heritage with smart strategy and sharp service. We back our spaces, our people, and our future building pubs that locals love and others look to.
Our Team
Great pubs start with great people. From the kitchen to the bar, our team delivers quality, warmth, and personality, every day.
We back our people with real support, career pathways, and leadership that knows hospo inside out. It’s a team effort, and it shows.
Our Values
The ABH Pub Group is built on six core values — the beliefs that guide how we operate, how we grow, and how we show up in every venue, every day.

Community-Driven
Our venues are local legends - familiar, trusted, and loved by those who walk through the doors every week. We’re here for the long haul.

Independent Spirit
No cookie-cutter pubs here. Each venue keeps its own story, personality, and energy, we just give it the tools to thrive.
-
City-Rooted
We’re Melbourne-born and Melbourne-run. We know this city, its people, and its pub culture, and we’re proud to be a part of it.
-
Consistent Quality
Whether it’s the pour of your pint or the crunch of your schnitzel, we care about the details. Reliability matters.
-
Legacy Mindset
We build for the future - taking care of our spaces, our teams, and our communities with a long-term view.
