BARCHICK SAYS

A stupendous little bar reminiscent of a true speakeasy, this gem is located above one of Melbourne’s food meccas, Saint Crispin.

Walk through the restaurant into the back courtyard, up a back staircase, down the hall and boom… you're in a quaint cocktail bar where the bartender really knows what's what.

Sit at the bar and have a chat, or nestle around one of the few tables. You can grab a drink while you wait for your reservation downstairs, or simply come here as a destination unto itself. Have a look over the back bar and you’ll notice the limited but impressive selection of spirits, there’s definitely a quality over quantity vibe and quality is something you can be sure of. The cocktail menu focuses on more classic style of drinks such as the La Louisiane, an elegant blend of rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, Benedictine, absinthe and Peychaud’s Bitters. Daunting? Ask for a little guidance from the bartender, trust us, he’ll do it right.
