What makes your bar different?
We have an original cuisine in a beautiful and unique building! To complement this we have a late night licence (rare in Melbourne these days) and food running till late.
Who will I meet at your bar?
People from all walks of life in Melbourne. We appeal to a large demographic and like to feel we have a space and a drink for anyone who walks through the door.
What's the design/atmosphere of your bar?
The bar was inspired by some of my favourite places in New York and of course Melbourne. We tried to create a place where everybody feels comfortable and can relax, that they can dress up for a special event but also drop in for a reuben for lunch!
Who is pouring at your bar and what makes them special?
We have an excellent staff from different parts of Melbourne and it is this difference that makes the team special as a whole. Each staff member brings a different set of skills and knowledge to the venue and we hope that comes through in our service. If everybody looked the same, we would get tired of looking at each other, to quote Groove Armada.
Best hangover cure?
Definitely a reuben sandwich and a bloody maria.
