A St Kilda Hospitality Venue with Exceptional Scale & Character

Positioned on bustling Fitzroy Street, this striking venue blends a sophisticated restaurant, bar and fully licensed function space within a highly adaptable layout. Thoughtfully designed and curated, the premium fit-out delivers both an exceptional customer experience and efficient service flow.

A standout feature is the impressive marble bar, extending from the entrance through to the rear of the venue. Finished in luminous dove-grey marble, it creates a stunning visual centrepiece, beautifully contrasted by the striking red industrial scaffolding suspended above, an installation by renowned artist Callum Morton.

Spanning a large double shopfront, the venue offers outstanding flexibility, perfect for private events, functions, or a full relaunch of day and evening dining. The fully equipped commercial kitchen, bar, cool room and prep areas support seamless, high-volume operations, while the 7-day bottle shop licence presents an additional revenue stream in St Kilda’s vibrant hospitality precinct.

Currently operating exclusively for private events and functions, the business presents a compelling opportunity for an experienced operator to expand event trade, reintroduce regular service, or reposition the venue entirely, building on 35+ years of hospitality legacy.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a premium, fully equipped venue in one of Melbourne’s most iconic dining strips, with all the infrastructure in place for immediate success.
