Festival Bar

The anchor for the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival's snacking and drinking at Fed Square this March and April, the Festival Bar sports food from Tom Sarafian, the former Bar Saracen chef turned hummus king, along with drinks designed by the crack cocktail team from Lonsdale Street sensation Caretaker's Cottage.

Rocking a menu and a drinks list drawing inspiration from our great city, along with fine Victorian winemaking and distilling in the form of spirits from Nagambie, whiskies from Starward, ice-cold Brick Lane Beer and wines from Pizzini and Tahbilk, it's the perfect place to start your festival outing, regroup after a great day out, or to simply slip in and recharge between adventures.
