Collins Quarter

Address: 86a Collins St

Melbourne 3000

Collins Quarter is a very up market bar and restaurant at the Paris end of Collins st. Even though I’m not a really up market sort of person I do like this place because it’s so damn well presented and they have done a good job of separating the different areas so you can relax in the up-market décor while still wearing your green day t-shirt. As far as I know they don’t have a dress code as I always wear jean but still get let in, that said between 5-9 expect to see a lot of the Collin st crowd having after work drink. Actually if I was a girl who wanted to meet a rich young guy I’d put this at the top of my list.

This venue is made up of three separate areas. The front being a high class restaurant with great booth

seating, the middle which is a great open air bar area, inside the building and the backbar and VIP room. Be aware the drink prices vary from the open air bar to the VIP room and most affordable in the middle part, which luckily is the best part in my opinion and you can smoke, even cigars.

They have a great range of beers on tap and staff right now how are fantastic, some of the best people I’ve met behind a bar. The bar closes pretty early around 11-12 but it’s a nice place to start your night especially if you want to avail yourself of some great food as well.
