A siege is underway at a Melbourne pub after two armed men stormed the venue this morning.

Heavily armed police, including the Special Operations Group, are at the Westmeadows Tavern on Ardlie Street in Westmeadows, in the city's north.

It is believed the two men attempted to rob the venue this morning and remain holed up inside.

"Police were called to Westmeadows following reports of a burglary in progress about 5am," Victoria Police said in a statement.

"Investigators have been told that two offenders entered the Ardlie Street premises, possibly armed with firearms.

"The area has been cordoned off, there is no one else in the building and we ask that members of the public avoid the area."

Now they're holed up inside and the building is surrounded. How do they possibly think this could end well for them?

Hahaha. I wonder who they thought they were negotiating with?! It must’ve been one of those talking poker machines
Possibly. It's dead-set embarrassing utilising all those resources for nothing.

I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry, and the good thing is no one got hurt.

It’s embarrassing for the meatheads but yep good that no one got hurt. Imagine not being able to go home or leave the house for 5 hours for nothing
