Cocktails
Melbourne has long been called the cultural capital of Australia. And it's true. Affectionately known as a multicultural city of Australia, it emanates heritage, embraces the arts, supports cultural institutions and celebrates a wide variety of local, national and international events. It has one of the most highly regarded live music scenes in the world, as well as host to major film festivals and comedy festivals. It's home to Australia's oldest ballet company, oldest art gallery, as well as the oldest musical organisation. Don't even get us started on sport, and of course, let's not forget about our food scene. For our inaugural list, we have chosen to celebrate what we believe are just some of the defining cultural pillars of Melbourne; Coffee, Fashion & Art. We are inspired by the colours, styles, attitudes and personas of each and hopefully through our drinks list, we can give you a taste of Melbourne. Welcome
Coffee
Melbourne is the pre-eminent destination for great coffee. It's roasters and baristas are some of the most accomplished, inventive and awarded on earth, so it seems fitting we dedicate an entire section to drinks inspired by Melbourne's unparalled enthusiasm and deep, deep love for coffee

Fashion
The Victorian Gold Rush of the 1850's helped establish Melbourne as one of the richest cities in the world, a beacon for commerce and culture, which in turn attracted the country's top ateliers and dressmakers to set up their studios. 150 years of evolution pins Melbourne as the style capital of Australia

Art
It has one of the world's highest densities of galleries as well as being home to the oldest and most visited gallery in Australia, and not forgetting the 'galleries' in our laneways; Melbourne embraces art. In an abstract sense, we can apply the ethos of art to our drinks. They can be expressive, vivid, controversial, complex and most certainly, thought-provoking
