Warm, historic, and thoughtful

Lovingly renovated, you feel yourself soaking up the history of Melbourne. The staff went above and beyond to cater for our group’s dietary needs. Great drinks, beautiful atmosphere - fireside or deck - and top-notch hospitality.

Way above expectations

The team were extremely accommodating with our special requests. The service was amazing, food generous and super tasty, and the sunset on the deck was just the cherry on top.

Perfect for New Year’s Eve

We had an absolutely amazing night. Food, service, and music were all top-notch. Booking was smooth and my gluten-free needs were handled with genuine care. Highly recommend!
