Caretaker’s Cottage

Bar snacks$$

A cosy city bar inside a resurrected bluestone cottage.

This small bar has earned huge accolades around the globe. The formula? Seasoned owners, a mix of high-quality and straightforward beverages, and a friendly party vibe. The historic building fills up fast but well-drilled staff handle the line smoothly. And with the first sip of a shudderingly icy martini, all is well once more. Singularly Melbourne, universally appealing.
