About the restaurant
A restaurant smuggled from Mexico to Melbourne. Find Little Bourke Street’s late night mezcal bar and taqueria hidden underground in the China Town precinct, and open 6 days a week until late, including lunch Friday - Sunday. Try a Tequila or Mezcal cocktail, or speak to our team about sipping some exciting Agave spirits instead. The $59 Feed Me banquet offers great value and a huge mix of traditional Mexican street food, plus some dishes with a twist. We also offer a $75 Bottomless Brunch on Friday, Saturday and Sundays, with unlimited cocktails and 5 courses of food, and a pre-theatre deal every night of the week. We are located on the corner of Little Bourke and Crossley Street, Melbourne, with a moody bar and dining area perfect for both a quiet drink, or a larger celebration.

About the restaurant
Hochi Mama was the God Mother of all aspiring street artists and rappers in the early nineties. An immigrant in the big city, she hosted underground art shows along with rap battles for the rejects; a place where you could just be at home, but with family. The whole crew was always welcome, the more the merrier, and she was well renowned for creating innovative dishes using the original famous dishes from her home country, and plenty of booze, in her spacious and homey warehouse.

This cheeky, vibrant and buzzing Vietnamese Fusion venue is one for your to-do list. Boasting a killer menu and a super cool vibe, this place is known for a cocktail, feast or an intimate date night.

About the restaurant
The Lobo is without a doubt, one of the coolest places to drink and be (very) merry in Sydney.
Inspired by Julio Lobo, the last Cuban sugar baron, we are a stylish and charming bar that is all about rum, good vibes and high-quality cocktails.
Tucked away on Clarence Street in the CBD, you’ll find The Lobo located in a basement where the cocktails are creative, fresh and mostly rum-based. Our rum selection is 300-bottles strong and the cocktail list goes perfectly alongside. Important note, we are are cocktail & rum bar and therefore do not have food/dining available.
If all this sounds up your alley, grab your crew and head to The Lobo. It’s a cosy and intimate spot though, so reservations are recommended to avoid disappointment. No minors permitted.

The menu has just recently been “revamped”, and some much loved favourites like the Pippies, and the Waygu removed, which is an enormous shame. The splendid pork and ginger dumplings remain, also the crispy pancake (both big yum), and the new Morning Glory and Beef, and the Braised Ginger Chicken were both good - however thought the Green Beans with Prawns very disappointing. The wine list has also had a much needed refresh.

When the property became available in 2015, Andrew and Michael Freedman saw an opportunity that was too good to miss. With the infrastructure in place and with a story like no other, Andrew, Michael and their passionate team of co-owners set about turning the former stables into a truly unique brewery.

About the restaurant
'Oh, that place with the vines out the front!'

Little Andorra is that cosy corner on Nicholson Street. It's an intimate dining room & bar, dedicated to serving amazing wines & delicious food to the intrepid bon vivant! Operating Wed-Fri nights, late lunch through to dinner Saturdays, and late lunch meze session 2pm Sundays. Head Chef Mertcan Dogusgen (ex-Attica) originally hails from Izmir, Turkey, from whence he brings his sense of Mediterranean freshness to his menu. The food is precise yet nurturing, the space understated yet elegant, & the wine list is eclectic yet approachable. With a focus on old world wine, we dive into as many dark & forgotten corners of Vitis Vinifera as we can find, then serve it without too much pomp. A leafy little courtyard for warmer days/nights, two small private dining spaces for groups 6-12 for when the weather is less kind.
Bookings for dietary requirements are highly recommended.
Eat. Drink. Virtus Unita Fortior. Welcome to Little Andorra!
