Architectural Hospitality Venue with 95-Patron Liquor Licence, Alfresco Dining & Hidden Bar Concept – Inner North Melbourne
An opportunity to secure a design-led hospitality venue positioned within Melbourne’s affluent inner north catchment — in an area currently underserved by comparable late-night dining and bar concepts.
This is a premium, architecturally curated venue where the hard work and capital investment have already been done.
The space has been thoughtfully designed with strong European influence, layered textures and seamless indoor–outdoor flow. A generous alfresco dining zone enhances its appeal for both daytime and evening trade, while a concealed bar concept introduces a distinctive and on-trend point of difference.
Importantly, the venue holds a Restaurant & Café Liquor Licence with a maximum capacity of 95 patrons and the ability to trade late into the evening (licence permitting extended trading), creating genuine scope for night-time activation, private functions and premium event-based revenue.
Positioned in an untapped pocket of Melbourne’s inner north, the surrounding affluent suburbs currently have limited access to a venue of this calibre — presenting a clear opportunity for a strong operator to establish a destination dining and bar offering.
At the heart of the venue is a fully fitted commercial kitchen, capable of supporting significant service volume, catering, functions or expanded dinner trade without further capital expenditure. Replicating this infrastructure today would require substantial investment.
Key Highlights:
Architecturally designed, high-end fit-out
Licensed capacity of 95 patrons
Late-night trading (1am liquor license)
Established alfresco dining space
Unique hidden bar concept
Full commercial kitchen
Secure long-term lease (7 years from May 2021 + 5-year option)
Rent approx. $45,020 p.a. + GST
Currently operating limited hours, the opportunity lies in activating the full capacity of the venue — extending evening service, introducing curated wine nights, private events, cocktail programs or modern European dining concepts.
This will suit:
Experienced restaurateurs
Chef-owners seeking a statement venue
Boutique wine bar operators
Groups expanding into high-income residential catchments
Opportunities combining design, licensing, kitchen infrastructure and affluent positioning are increasingly rare.
