The Brass Monkey

The Brass Monkey is a secret haven for wine and cocktail lovers. Effortlessly chic and welcoming, this establishment is a new venture by The Brady Group.

While it leans into the city’s chilled-out vibes, it also pays homage to Victoria, showcasing the region’s finest produce and ingredients.

This suave, underground venue on Lonsdale Street boasts an elegant blend of dark green features with golden accents, creating a luxurious yet welcoming space.

The attention to detail in its design is matched by the flawlessly refined taste of its meticulously curated menu. A comprehensive collection of local and regional wines is accompanied by gourmet bites that pair perfectly with your chosen tipple. A menu designed for sharing, you can choose from an array of small plates. The hot smoked salmon with macadamia creme, quinoa, pickled cucumber, nduja and dill, or the burrata with blistered heirloom tomatoes, pomegranate gastrique, and basil accompaniments are hard to avoid. It doesn't end here, with a fromage list to select your own cheese and the ability to create your own platter!

Their mixologists have crafted an array of cocktails to impress guests. These cocktails draw on only the best ingredients to create masterpieces that taste as good as they look. From the refreshing citrus hint of the Mornington dry martini, to the scintillating combination of passionfruit and chocolate in the Ballarat star martini, this expertly crafted menu is everything and more that a cocktail should be.

The Brass Monkey is one of those rare downtown venues where you can lose track of time, so gather your nearest and dearest, slip underground, and prepare to indulge in an atmospheric affair full of Melbourne chic and unparalleled sophistication.
