How we read reviews →Hidden basement speakeasy in Carlton with live jazz, Asian-inspired cocktails and small plates.
Moody, dimly lit basement speakeasy tucked below a Swanston Street restaurant, with vintage-cozy decor, comfortable seating and a stage for the rotating weekly live band.
A hidden basement entrance reached via the ground-floor restaurant, a live-music stage with a rotating band Thursday to Sunday, and a DJ set from around 10pm on weekend nights.
Reviewers describe a blend of classic Western and Chinese-inspired decor with Asian-influenced small plates and cocktails, rather than a single national cuisine identity.
Around $25 entry on live-music nights includes a free drink, and reviewers describe the venue as priced appropriately for the quality of drinks, food and entertainment.
