Warm up by the fireplace this winter at one of these cosy pubs and bars in Werribee and Surrounds.
Enjoy mulled wine and hearty winter fare at The Park Werribee

Find a cosy corner at the Bridge Hotel Werribee
Established in 1926, The Bridge Hotel Werribee re-opened in 2020 under the helm of the team behind Marquis Of Lorne, Mount Erica Hotel and Union House.
With beautiful art deco features and three open fires – you could easily spend a cosy afternoon here catching up with friends over a pint or two.
The winter menu includes plenty of hearty comfort dishes including including the Slow Cooked Beef Short Ribs, Spiced Baked Eggplant Parma and Housemade Gnocchi with Creamy Pesto and Roasted Tomatoes.
Warm up on winter nights with The Bridge Hotel’s Sunday Roast for $25, or Thursday Steak Night for $25.
While away the afternoon at Corked Wine Bar
For a glass of quality vino with a side of riverfront views, nothing quite beats Corked Wine Bar. Cosy up on the red velvet lounges by the fire, then take your pick from a selection of carefully curated local and international drops, best accompanied by an antipasto or charcuterie board.
While technically it’s not a wood fire, the lounge is hard to beat for cosiness and comfort, especially when paired with a single malt whisky or the fresh cherry, raspberry & cranberry flavours of a Vigna Stefani Yarra Valley Pinot Noir.
