Gimlet at Cavendish House

In a landmark 1920s building on leafy Russell Street, our cocktail bar and dining room bring classic European charm to the heart of Melbourne. Step into a world of nostalgia and glamour at the Chicago-style Cavendish House, a heritage gem lavishly reimagined by Andrew McConnell and Acme & Co. It’s a space for all seasons and reasons, from casual catch-ups at the bar to intimate booths and an elegant dining stage above the city streets. The menu, like the space, suits any occasion - from oysters and snacks to shared mains of premium wood-fired meats and seafood. Even a caviar service, if the mood takes you. The bar is a haven, almost a theatre - serving classic cocktails alongside an extensive list of benchmark world wines.
