Caretaker's Cottage

A world-ranked cocktail bar hidden behind a Melbourne church, small and intimate and worth the queue.

A tiny heritage cottage building behind a Melbourne church, a monthly-changing cocktail menu, bartenders who double as vinyl DJs, and door staff who hand out menus while you queue.

Not applicable in a heritage-cuisine sense; the drawcard is a contemporary Melbourne cocktail concept built inside the genuine history of the caretaker's cottage building itself.

Cocktails around $24-27 split opinion. Most reviewers say the craft and reputation justify the price, though a minority found individual drinks not worth the hype.
