Newmarket Hotel

Although the Newmarket Hotel’s been around since 1868, in recent years the majestic old building’s had a mighty facelift and refitting. Sitting proudly in the heart of Acland Street, the Newmarket is sleek and stylish while retaining a pleasing amount of the grungy personality that has made St Kilda the endlessly interesting destination that it is. Thanks to the ever-busy Six Degrees crew, the Newmarket offers both a casual sunshine-laden outdoor drinking area, and a more formal indoor dining space, as well as Chef’s Table for larger groups that number up to sixteen. The menu is inspired by South America, and stands out even in Melbourne, a town seemingly obsessed with the flavours of Latin America. Underneath the Newmarket, you’ll find the Cellar Bar, a luxurious dining room complete with live entertainment and a strict bookings-only policy. The Newmarket has fast become a favourite destination around Melbourne, for those seeking a casual post-work drink, intimate dinners, or swanky nights out.
