Whether you’re a non-gambler, an ex-gambler, or simply don’t want to put up with the lights and the awful beeping music, there are times when it’s nice to be able to get out and not have to deal with the pokies.
With that in mind, I present cyenne.com’s list of pokie-free pubs in Victoria.
Now, please keep in mind a few points and disclaimers…
I have not personally visited each and every one of these 813 establishments. However, I have cross-referenced them against the list of gaming venues held at the VCGR, and I’m quietly confident that there are no pokies pubs on this list.
There are bound to be pokie-free pubs that I’ve missed. If you know of any, please let me know and I’ll add them to the list.
Similarly, let me know about any mistakes you find in the list and I’ll take care of them straight away.
I’ve sorted the list by location first, pub second. I’m working on a more interactive format, but this will have to do for now.
===== update : 03/01/2011 ====================================
As this list of pokie-free pubs has become one of my most popular articles, I have bitten the bullet and set up a dedicated web site.
www.pokiefreepubs.com is now up and running. It’s much more interactive and informative than this list could ever be, so feel free to check it out. In fact, please do check it out, bookmark it and go back to it often! 
We are lucky to have so many alternatives when it comes to pokie-free pubs, and I’m trying to make sure I include as many of them as possible.
Naturally loading up all of the required details takes some time. At present, Melbourne’s inner suburbs have been completed; that’s over 200 establishments right there. Over the next few weeks I’ll be adding Melbourne’s CBD, and then moving on to the outer suburbs and regional Victoria. Keep checking back for updates!

Great list cyenne!
Add the Rossmore Hotel Yallourn North…Trafalgar Hotel, Trafalgar, Yarragon Hotel…and Bridie O’Reilly’s in Brunswick (and no doubt also Chapel Street and city)? All Walhalla pubs…and Erica Hotel…The Beehive Hotel Hawthorn / Kew?

ps Unless things have much changed the Royal Oak in Richmond IS a HUGE pokies pub! Rydges Hotel and the Bridge Hotel Richmond on the other hand are pokies-free I think…so could be added…xo

Thanks Libby, all updated… along with a few other pubs out that way.

Nice work on the list.
I’ve never understood the pokies equals entertainment viewpoint. I could not think of a worse way to spend a night out.

Agree, Steve! I assure you that in spending in excess of 20,000 hours over 14 years in pokies venues, hopelessly addicted and desperately trying to win money back, lost on pokies gambling…that experience was anything but entertaining! More just very sad! I cannot believe that I was ever quite so stupid or obsessed, that I wasted such a huge part of my life so dismally! The power of addiction to stuff up good judgment is gross! But the power of advertising is strong also…and for years we were all told to ‘come to the pokies for some light-hearted fun and entertainment’…with never a hint that it could be anything BUT!
