Cherry is pretty much the best rock n’ roll bar in the world.

Cherry Bar was founded in late 1999, today it is owned by founding partners Jim Bourke, Lazy Pete and James Young.

Cherry is the only business located in world famous AC/DC Lane Melbourne (off Flinders Lane and between Russell and Exhibition Streets) right in the heart of the Melbourne business district. A jewel in the junk heap or maybe an annoying boil on corporate arse cheeks?

Despite its modest 200 capacity Cherry is an internationally famous late night street rock n’ roll bar. Quality local acts play live (always finishing by 11.30pm), then DJs keep the joint jumping till the wee hours.

Cherry has become the destination for local, interstate and international bands to descend upon and party after they’ve finished playing live themselves. We don’t need to name drop. You never know who you might meet at Cherry.

The rear Jenni Bar is available for private parties.

Coda's relaxed approach to quality provides a versatile setting for a range of engagements. Whatever your occasion, from a quick pre-football meal, to a long Sunday lunch, a banquette seat for an anniversary or business dining, we look forward to your visit.

For 12 years, Gin Palace is still making and is most highly renowned for outstanding Martinis. And that is one of many reasons why this plush den is an institution today. The menu has changed little and Vernon himself will tell you that Gin Palace Martinis are made exactly the same today as they were when he opened.
