Description

The Cabinet Bar, located on Swanston Street, may be easily overlooked if you don't know where to look. The entrance, located at the rear of the building, leads to a cozy and buzzy bar popular among the post-work crowd. With a variety of drink options, friendly staff, and interesting snack menu, it is a great place to unwind after work or before a show. The venue offers a hidden balcony with prime views of the city, making it an attractive spot during the summer. Customers have praised the atmosphere, the range of drinks, and the tasty flatbreads. While it can get crowded on weekends, it remains a popular choice for those looking for a convenient and inviting CBD bar option.

I ordered Rose Sangria and Mushroom spinach pizza which is amazing. Value for money. Staff is also polite! Reasonable prices with good quality. Recommended!

It is no secret that Melbourne has lots of hidden secrets tucked between laneways or up a few flights of stairs. Although how hidden are those places really? Sure, you won’t be able to spot it from a main road, but with the prevalence of online reviews and just social media in general, it’s near possible for a place to be a true hidden gem.

Great cosy place for drinks in town. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the drinks come out really fast. Great in the summer overlooking Swanston Street.
