Speakeasy Kitchen Bar
359 Chapel St, South Yarra VIC 3141, Australia
The entrance to Speakeasy makes it appear to be on the smaller side. It’s really not though - there’s space enough here for a kitchen, a dining room, a private upstairs function room, and an outdoor courtyard. It’s open all day, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So if you think about it, you could potentially dine and drink yourself into a stupor, then come back the next morning for a fry-up breakfast. Speakeasy regularly hosts events within its Nordic-furniture, hanging lightbulb, wrought iron chic interior, with each of the spaces available being popular function venues. Speakeasy’s deceptively small entrance is found on Chapel Street, near the corner of Commercial Road. The CBD is about fifteen minutes away (depending on how slow traffic is moving), and St Kilda is about the same distance.

What makes Speakeasy Kitchen Bar different from other restaurants?
The term "Speakeasy" was first used to describe a Prohibition-era speakeasy that served alcohol, but it is no longer used in the same way. It differs from the type of bar it was named after since it is completely legal and isn't particularly hidden. The small entrance, however, is a deceptive one. Designed by Eon Architects, the restaurant features a smart dining room and large wooden outer-terrace, perfect for socializing, cocktails, date night, and large group gatherings.
