The Brass Monkey Pouring Passion | Unveiling Melbourne's Newest Wine & Cocktail Haven
In the heart of Melbourne's vibrant Lonsdale Street, a new haven for wine and cocktail aficionados emerges, promising an unparalleled experience in quality and affordability. Welcome to The Brass Monkey, the latest venture from renowned property developer, The Brady Group.
Set against the backdrop of Melbourne's bustling cityscape, The Brass Monkey is more than just a bar—it's a love letter to Victoria, celebrating the region's finest produce and ingredients. With a dedication to sourcing the most incredible products locally, this underground hotspot exudes Melbourne vibes: effortlessly cool, chic, and delightfully inclusive.
General Manager of Hotels & Hospitality, Robert Moore, expresses the sentiment behind The Brass Monkey, stating, "This is a brand new journey for the Brady Group, as we look to tap into the world-renowned aspects of Melbourne’s hospitality in the food and beverage sector." The result? A meticulously crafted space where every detail reflects the essence of Victoria.
In the helm of the beverage experience is Vinified Sommelier, Luke Campbell, whose expertise shines through in a wine list that traverses the widely and lesser-known regions of Victoria. From the lush vineyards of the Yarra Valley to the rugged terrain of the Macedon Ranges, each bottle tells a story of the land it hails from. Highlights include the Oakdene Sparkling Brut NV from Geelong and the Dalwhinne 'Mesa' Syrah from the Pyrenees.
Complementing the wine selection is a collection of finely crafted cocktails, each a symphony of flavors and textures. With locally sourced ingredients and a penchant for creativity, the cocktail menu offers a sensory journey like no other. Indulge in concoctions like the Wangaratta Fingerlime Sour or the Melbourne’s Gospel Toffee, each sip a testament to the artistry behind the bar.
Of course, no visit to The Brass Monkey would be complete without sampling the exceptional food offerings. Paying homage to Victoria's rich culinary landscape, the menu focuses on charcuterie delights sourced from across the state. From Shepherd’s Whey indulge Goetrichum to Milawa King Rover Gold, each bite is paired perfectly with wine suggestions, elevating the tasting experience.
Opening its doors to the public on Friday, 17th May, The Brass Monkey invites you to discover a new standard of hospitality. Whether you're seeking an intimate evening of fine wines, a gathering with friends over artisanal cocktails, or a culinary adventure through Victoria's flavors, The Brass Monkey promises an unforgettable experience.
Located at the corner of Lonsdale Street and Hardware Street, The Brass Monkey also offers a beautifully presented private dining room for those seeking a more exclusive experience. Join us as we raise a glass to the vibrant spirit of Melbourne and the incredible flavors of Victoria. Cheers to new beginnings at The Brass Monkey!
