Mill Place Merchants

  • Bar
  • Cocktail bar

Mill Place Merchants is a speakeasy in Melbourne's central business district. Housed in an historic, heritage-listed building dating back to the 1840s, it occupies a space that once buzzed with the industry of meat preserving, hat, soap, and candle factories.

The flickering candle light dances on exposed stone and brick walls, and the scent of aged furniture mingles with the aroma of carefully curated cocktails from the original recipes of the masters.
​
Their bartenders skillfully blend the finest spirits to concoct the originals that tell stories of eras long gone.

Enter via Mill Place, at the end of the laneway on the left side there is a large red door with MPM monogram, which is the entrance to the venue.
