Within a cobbler glass throw of Melbourne pumping Chapel St is the sweet little wine and cocktail bar named Marmalade. Hamish Goonetilleke, owner of the new venture invites you down to kick back on the vintage chesterfield in out open front bar and watch as the world rushes by. “It’s been an amazing few weeks since opening and we are all really pumped! The people, the venue, the staff are all coming along really well,” Goonetilleke states.
The bar features unique stenciled/ graffiti styled artworks – done by some of Melbourne’s most noted street artists: HA-HA, Drew Funk and Doyle. And not to be out out by Melbourne’s sometimes pedantic weather, the team has build an ‘all seasons’ beer garden complete with an impressively sized palm tree. Come the weekends, the beer garden will also play host to some of Melbourne’s hottest musicians, bringing live entertainment back to the old school backyard scene.
Grab some pizzas or antipasto plates and settle in with a few jugs of beer or really well priced wine by the glass. And yes there are cocktails served in marmalade jars too.
