Restaurant
•Northside Wines is a spacious, multifaceted venue located in the inner north of Melbourne, conveniently accessible from the CBD, parking areas, and public transport. Our primary focus is on alternative wines and honest, delicious food, but we also know how to throw an incredible party.
Our interior space is ideal for a variety of occasions and events. Skylights scattered throughout the plant-filled area provide natural light during the day, creating the perfect ambiance for daytime gatherings. At night, with dimmed lights and flickering candles, the venue takes on an intimate feel despite its size. The entire space is adaptable; even though we can accommodate a large number of guests, you are not obligated to reserve the full or even half of the venue (unless you wish to). We will simply tailor the space to fit the size of your event.
Our venue is suitable for large canapé functions, as well as spacious sit-down dinners or convention-style events. We also offer two bright outdoor areas. Our courtyard/wine garden is a secluded, uncovered spot that can host up to 40 guests for private events with canapés and casual nibbles, complete with a separate sound system that connects to your phone or laptop. The courtyard is fully covered now, with plenty of heaters for cooler evenings. During the day, the sun shines overhead, while the garden remains partially shaded. After sunset, fairy lights overhead create the illusion of a starlit sky.
Next door, we have a stunning outdoor private space—a beautiful covered secret garden with flexible seating (available only during warmer months). A large fig tree provides ambient shade in the afternoon, keeping the garden cool. At night, festoon lights add a picturesque touch to your event. This setting is perfect for groups with children, allowing you to relax while they play without concerns. The space is shielded from direct sunlight, making it ideal for daytime events like baby showers and hens parties, while the enchanting festoon lighting lends a magical atmosphere throughout the evening.
With a variety of beautiful spaces available, whether you need an intimate setting for a long-overdue catch-up with friends or a formal function for over 100 guests, we can collaborate with you to create the perfect experience. Exclusive venue hire is also available!

Anyone that has read any review I write it's really rare I give under 5⭐️ I had read about the bottomless $49 per head for small plates tapas online. From the minute we sat down we were told the conditions of this menu. They were as follows : you have 1.5 hours. But they select the first 5 choices and bring them to you slowly. Then only after you complete those. You can choose and order any others. By the time we were served the 5 dishes we had been there one hour and 20 minutes. The waitress who was lovely apologised and said order what you like sorry we were slow. So we ordered the small plates oysters. She proceeded to tell us they weren't included. So we ordered three more things and that's was all. The food was very average. No dish stood out. The chicken they chose as one of the dishes was really undercooked so we didn't eat it. We let her know and she came back and said the chef checks the temperature and they are all done perfectly. That's fine but the table next to us that was a large group left all there 4 chickens as well. The place was packed with various functions. So it was extremely loud. For us we wouldn't return. I will say that the lady that served us was lovely and professional. For three of it was $190 and we had one glass of wine and two mocktails. I would suggest if you go to choose your own or do the two courses rather than the bottomless. Out of all the dishes the ceviche was our favourite
Myself and some friends attended Christmas in July bottomless lunch. The food was delicious and plentiful. Thanks to charlotte for her attentiveness.
I only have positive things to say about this beautiful venue and staff! I hosted my 30th party here and Charlotte, along with her wonderful team, were nothing short of amazing! The food and service were incredible and my guests and I really enjoyed the evening and atmosphere. Highly recommended if you’re looking to host an event, or even just to pop in for some nibbles and drinks. Thank you so much!
My wife and I hosted our 30th birthday party at Northside and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the staff were incredibly accommodating, professional, and genuinely kind. Everything ran so smoothly , the service was spot-on, the atmosphere was perfect, and they made the whole process feel effortless. I’m so glad I chose Northside for such a special occasion. Highly recommend for anyone planning a celebration!
Went to an event here, and it was pretty good. The staff were good, nice little venue and a good venue space. The gluten free food was OK.. Appreciate it was safe to eat as a coeliac, but was a little bland. Overall, a nice evening.
