Why you'll love Polly Bar

  • Delicious cocktail menu
  • Uniquely opulent setting and charming courtyard
  • World-class cocktail bars

In a city now filled with world-class cocktail bars, Polly Bar was one of the pioneers. Having opened its Brunswick Street doors 15 years ago, it can certainly be argued that Melbourne's current appetite for serious cocktails started right here, in the plush velvety interior of this Brunswick Street institution. Inside, Polly is a luxurious and lavish mix of deep reds, velvets, plush armchairs and a grand bar in the centre of it all. The venue is available for exclusive use, as well as for less exclusive, more casual groups. Aside from the delicious cocktail menu and the delightfully OTT vibes, Polly has also taken it upon itself to specialise in absinthe – done the old-school, 'proper' way. It's also worth noting Polly Bar is also available for (and very popular with) photoshoots and film shoots. The uniquely opulent setting and the charming courtyard at the bar's entrance makes it an ideal backdrop.

We had a fantastic time at the Around the World Whisky tasting and Cigar smoking. Alan, you were a friendly and knowledgeable host. We highly recommend the Polly Bar.

We really enjoyed the time at Polly for my mates bucks. I was worried about the size of the private area with just 11 of us. I feel that it was perfect space for us to have our own area before we ventured off to the next place. Great vibes and service was amazing. We had an awesome time. I would definitely recommend or book again. The choices of spirits you had was amazing. I really liked the rooster tequila.

We did a whisky tasting and It was EXCELLENT! So great, in fact, we will be coming again in the near future 😃 I have to say, I was not a fan of whisky, but according to the class I’ve been drinking it all wrong! So I like it now. The bar person who guided us was excellent and she really knows her stuff. We also appreciated the absinthe tasting and the cocktails are amazing (and reasonably priced).

Fantastic experience here. I'd looked around for 3 things in particular for my 30th: - Great selection of whiskey and cigars - A place I could reserve exclusively for friends (sidebar) - A place we could all sit and enjoy each others company without being drowned out by music or noise. Tranquil. I was able to do this without even having to pay to reserve the space (let alone the hundreds of dollars other venues wanted to do the same). Couldn't believe my luck when I came across this place. Really couldn't believe my luck after the experience. This is a venue that understands they are here to provide an experience, not just a liquor licence.

I held my 21st birthday here, it was the perfect space for around 40 guests. It's pretty rare to find a place that doesn't have a minimum drink spend (and no hire fee) in such a good location. Michael the events organiser and the bar staff were helpful when planning the event and during the event, easing my stress.
