Our Indoor Drinking Hall extends to an Outdoor Courtyard meaning we can offer a large private indoor and outdoor space for groups where you can comfortably space out and where theres plenty of air flo...w.

The Lot is a community of businesses and now more than ever were urging people to support small business.

15.01.2022 A short message from Jake as voting begins. It is the support we have received over the past few years from our community as we have interacted with you all through our businesses that has given Jake the courage and determination to work for the community in a different way. Vote for him, or not, it's entirely up to you...but support comes in many forms and we all appreciate it endlessly. Jakeman, you'll be an absolute asset to this city if successful, and even if not it's so exciting to hear how dedicated you'll still be to Moonee Valley and beyond. Good luck! Lach

14.01.2022 Plenty of action at The Lot, especially this week as we frantically finalise a new look Beer Garden to show off to you all from this Friday 6th November! We can't wait to cheers to a fresh start with everyone and forget about the troubles of 2020. Limited spots still available for our re-opening through theascotlot.com/reservation

13.01.2022 One of our faves and a resident Food truck The Bearded Jaffle is on site serving up take-away and delivery via Mr Yum, UberEats and more if youre looking to get an Ascot Lot fix (minus the Espresso Martinis). WE MISS YOU ALL, were working on plenty of exciting things to re-launch with. Stay tuned...

13.01.2022 So proud of all the love our incredible Burrito Bae is getting! Operating through the whole of 2020 in the carpark hasn’t been easy, but it won’t be long until we welcome them back into our new and pumping beer garden in just a month from now...stay tuned for all of the big announcements!

13.01.2022 Is 2020 over yet? Our team have been closely watching the updates from the Government Authorities and at this point in time its looking like it will be business as usual at The Lot for now, albeit with some operational changes. Whats the current deal?... Fortunately we have a massive indoor area that will be strictly limited to a 100 person capacity and our Outdoor Beer Garden (the largest in the North-West) will provide heaps of space for some seriously fun social distancing. Bookings are essential for Friday Night Trivia and Drag Bingo on Sunday as we will be capping it at 100 patrons. Head to theascotlot.com/reservations. At The Lot we understand the importance and the severity of the current health crisis that is happening world-wide. We are a small community business who supports a community of other small businesses (our food truck family). We take the health of our staff and guests very seriously. We encourage you all to look after yourselves and your loved ones in these uncertain times, however we also encourage you to support local businesses where possible. Whats next? Well, our goal is to stay open for as long as possible, to support our staff and our trucks and hopefully ride this wave. Well be here, pouring you Pints, and serving up some mean Souvas and a range of Food Truck specialities for as long as we can. We love The Lot, and we know our community does too. Looking forward to seeing you all down at The Lot soon, obviously hanging out 1.5m apart. Lots of Love, Lach, Jake, Dave, Sam and the rest of the Lot Team xxx

12.01.2022 Some more love for our newest member of the family Holmes Hall from Urban List Melbourne! Thanks guys, were beyond excited to add another Holmes away from home in the North-West!

12.01.2022 This will surely be a week that well never forget. Lachlan, David and I sat down last night and made the decision that in the interest of our customers safety, that for now, the gates to The Lot should be closed for a while. With todays announcement from the Premier, that decision was taken out of our hands.... And so, it is with a very heavy heart that the The Ascot Lot will be closing down for now. We dont know how long this will last, but we are very confident that once this blows over, we will be back, bigger and better than ever. But for now, our priority is to support our staff and Food Truck family to get by over the coming months. To our extended Lot family - PLEASE take care of yourselves and your family. Stay at home as much as you can. Spend some quality time with your doggo. We will miss you all and will be here to sling you beers and celebrate with strange food festivals, drag bingo and trivia when we all get out the other end. Lots of Love, Jacob, Lachlan, David, Samantha, Nelson, Jasmine and the rest of The Lot Team. xxx

11.01.2022 A bit of a break from the political spam ( Jacob Bettio Independent for Myrnong - Moonee Valley ) Instead a shout out to a local legend and small business. Steph is a great friend of The Lot and huge supporter of all local businesses. For a few years now Steph has been operating her mobile PT business and has been helping people live a healthier life all over Moonee Valley. ... If you’re thinking you need to loose a few of those lockdown kgs in get in touch with Steph and she’ll help you out! https://www.facebook.com/infitnessandinhealthpt/ https://www.facebook.com/infitnessandinhealthpt/

10.01.2022 While the latest restraints on venues have put additional pressure on us, were pleased to let you know that we are still able to operate The Lot each weekend (for now)! Our Indoor Drinking Hall has a new limit on attendees, so bookings are essential via theascotlot.com/reservation for Friday Night Trivia from 7pm and Sundays Drag Bingo. As also mentioned this week we have spaced out tables in the largest Beer Garden in the North-West including in our undercover Garden Bar,... so theres plenty of seating available here for groups.

See you soon for those $10 Spressos, meals and of course fun shortly!

10.01.2022 Poor old Samma hasn’t been sleeping much lately, and when she does she dreams about table layouts. In the morning she wakes and quickly sketches what she dreamt of and uploads it into our booking system. Thankfully for you, her restless nights mean that the layout has been finalised in a Covid Safe way and you guys can now BOOK! We know there will be a lot of you who are keen to book in right away for our usual Trivia and Drag Bingo. Unfortunately due to restrictions we are still working through some of the challenges associated with capacity limits, so for now they won’t be happening but we’re aiming to have those favourite time slots back at The Lot ASAP!
