Curious

Hidden cocktail den beneath Melbourne's W Hotel, known for inventive drinks and cave-like design.

A cocoon-like, cave-inspired interior lined with dark wood and moody low lighting, built around a discreet entrance beneath the W Hotel. Relaxed early on, building to a buzzy, DJ-driven energy later in the night.

A hidden speakeasy-style entrance through the W Hotel foyer, a rotating DJ lineup, bespoke off-menu cocktails crafted by bartenders on request, and a distinctive cocoon/cave architectural design.

Not a heritage-cuisine venue. the drawcard is its immersive cocoon/cave design concept and inventive mixology rather than culinary heritage.

Frequently criticised as overpriced. bottled water and cocktails both drew complaints about cost versus quality. though the craft and creativity of the drinks are praised when service is on form.
