Longest bar in Australia, Historic bar in Mildura, Victoria, Australia
The Longest Bar in Australia is a pub in Mildura, Victoria, known for its remarkably long counter with a T-shaped layout. The bar runs along both sides of this T-shape, fitted with rows of beer taps spread across its entire length.
The original long counter was built in 1938 and later rebuilt in 1970. The Guinness Book of Records eventually recognized it as an official record holder.
The bar was long a meeting point for workers and regulars from across the region, who gathered here after long shifts in the fields and orchards. Today it draws visitors who are curious about the place itself, not just a drink.
The pub sits in the center of Mildura and can be reached on foot from most parts of town without trouble. It is worth taking a short walk around the block first, since the surrounding streets give a good sense of the town's layout.
American visitors measured the counter in 1948 and brought those dimensions back home as inspiration for bars in the United States. This early interest from abroad helped turn a local feature into something with an international reach.
