In a landmark 1920s building on leafy Russell Street, our new cocktail bar and dining room, Gimlet brings classic European charisma to the heart of Melbourne.

Step into a world of nostalgia and glamour at the Chicago-esque Cavendish House, a heritage gem lavishly reimagined by Andrew McConnell and ACME. It’s a space for all seasons and all reasons - whether it's gathering your family, friends or colleagues for a milestone celebration, or simply a long overdue catchup.

Space

Palm Room

  • Seated: 12
A jewel in the dining room’s crown, the Palm Room sits atop the Russell Street dining mezzanine with sweeping views over the restaurant, cocktail bar and leafy Russell Street beyond. An intimate space for 8-12 guests, featuring antique Murano glass chandeliers and artwork by Tony Clark, it reflects the classic European charm of the building. It’s a space for all seasons and reasons, from business meetings, to clamorous catch ups, or an elegant scene for a celebratory meal set high above the city streets. The menu, like the space, suits any occasion - from oysters and snacks through to shared mains of premium wood-fired meats and seafood. Even a caviar service, or steak tartare prepared table-side if the mood takes you. The beverage list is extensive, serving classic cocktails alongside an exceptional list of benchmark world wines.

Apollo Inn

  • Standing: 40
Located on the ground floor of 165 Flinders Lane, the 1920s neo-renaissance-style building on the corner of Flinders and Hosier Lanes, Apollo Inn is an inviting space that takes its cues from the timeless cocktail bars of Europe and its name from the original public house that once stood on the site of its neighbour, Gimlet at Cavendish House. Apollo Inn is an intimate space ideal for your next networking event, product launch or festive celebration. We can accommodate up to 40 guests for a private party, or have a chat with us about hosting a cocktail masterclass. Our team will work closely with you to create your get-together, with custom menus, accompanying cocktails and wine from our cellar.
