About us

The Albion Hotel, formerly known as the Punters Place, is a historic 140-year-old building located on Smith Street in Collingwood. After a recent facelift, the team behind Bodriggy, Dr Morse, and Plug Nickel reopened our classic Australiana pub in December last year. We offer a classic pub experience seven days a week, from sunny spritzes at happy hour to late-night drinks and memorable dining. Our seasonal, bistro-style menu by David Boyle (Farmer’s Daughters) highlights local produce, and our beverage selection features Bodriggy Brewery’s drinks and other local independents. We’re an authentic, community-driven venue and invite you to join us as we grow this exciting institution.
