Father's Office
Father’s Office resurrects the enigmatic allure of 1920s speakeasies — once Prohibition’s not-so-hidden gems. A century on, it captures that spirit with a bold, contemporary edge. Step through the doors on Lt Lonsdale Street, ascend the old oak stairs and enter a reimagined 1920s realm infused with modern flair.
The space brims with vintage treasures, including a historic Swanston Street sign, tin ceilings, art deco sconces, and decanter lighting craft a lavish atmosphere. The wrap-around balcony, boasting a breathtaking view of the State Library, invites you to savour a crafted cocktail.
The menu dazzles with Americana dishes, featuring premium local produce and top-tier meats, welcoming both intimate gatherings and large crowds. DJ sets and themed nights elevate the vibe, perfect for any celebration. Enjoy a flow of beers, wines, and spirits, with top shelf selections and cocktails aplenty, complemented by happy hours and irresistible food deals all week.
