Speakeasy is my number 1 go to spot in Melbourne! Best hidden backyard patio, great atmosphere, amazing drink selection and high quality, delicious food. The slow cooked lamb is out of this world, and you can't pass up the 2 for 1 espresso martinis at happy hour. Staff are wonderful! Highly recommend!!
I had my 30th celebration at Speakeasy and it was just perfect! The courtyard area is lovely, they have a retractable awning which meant when the sun came out we could bathe in the glorious sunshine. They have great food options for vegetarians and meat eaters (try the burgers they're delish), as well as great drinks - if they're making Frosé's (frozen Rosé) make sure you try one! The staff were all really nice and super helpful. I couldn't recommend this place enough and will be back for another celebration soon.
We’ve walked past speakeasy so many times but actually discovered it one everything through the secret lane way. Gosh, I love melbourne for this very reason. It’s a lovely space, very friendly, great food and a fab atmosphere. Will be back as soon as possible :)
Had a nice breakfast with a friend, good food and vibes!
Food here makes your belly full and happy. Eventhough i’m surprised they only have two chefs to prepare food on sunday brunch but its worth the wait! Coffee is strong so if you need a caffine boost you should start getting your coffee here.
😱Lizzie’s first impression: came here by accident as we were trying to find a speakeasy bar around South Yarra area and the outside area was everything I ever wanted.
🍩Lizzie enjoyed: they have a massive courtyard at the back where you can have drinks with great music. I loved ordering the froses there in Summer as well. It was the best ambience.
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: need to come back for the food so am judging purely on ambience and drinks.
🥇Lizzie rates overall: staff are nice and the ambience on a Friday night is great for slow drinks with friends.

Popped in here for a quick coffee the other day!
Lovely ambience, it felt a bit more old world 1900s, which I would assume comes from the name, especially with the chandelier & wine along the wall.
Flat white with soy milk: Nice coffee, no complaints at all. Nicely presented as well
Super friendly staff. The barrister saved my laptop from diminishing completely out of power, while I was working which I really appreciate!
Came here for a drink with a friend yesterday and did not realise, after walking past it a million times, how big the rear of the venue is! They have a gorgeous outdoor courtyard and ample indoor seating. We did not order food, as we had eaten somewhere else, but multiple dishes served around us turned heads! Lovely staff, gorgeous venue, great pricing on drinks and I will definitely be coming back to try the menu :)

The not-so-secret entrance from chapel street leads you through a narrow shopfront through to a dining room and a large covered outdoor terrace - which does also have a low key, cobbled entrance from Commercial road.
The spaces are light and airy, the service is good and the coffee is really good! They also have a full bar and an impressive cocktail menu.
The all day, modern Australian menu focuses on high quality snacks and dishes incorporating good quality, local, seasonal produce.
They do take bookings and can seat groups of up to 20 on one table. Plus there's plenty of rooms for prams.
De-lush & de-lish! Tasty food, served quickly by friendly staff.
We arrived in happy hour and my wine if choice was sold out, but they honoured the discount on my next choice.
The meal was superb.
My husband had the entree sized slow cooker beef rib with sweet potato chips, cucumber ribbons and tasty slaw, which filled him up!
I had the soft shell crab burger on a squid ink brioche with a crazy delicious dressing and slaw.
The chefs are visible and are happy and polite. The wait staff are friendly and so helpful.
A wonderful experience. Thankyou Donna & Mick.
A brunch place that now features an evening dinner and drinks menu, Speakeasy Kitchen Bar is nestled amongst a few other bars along Chapel Street – the brunch-dinner idea seems to be a trend starting to settle in. They have a nice spacious interior that was a bit chilly (heater could have been stronger), with a heated courtyard outside that has its own bar area, making it a cute late night drinks place. Unfortunately, the dinner dishes were a bit lacklustre despite having beautiful presentation worthy of the Melbourne culinary scene.
Looking for a new all day eatery on chapel st? Speakeasy kitchen bar is your answer serving a great selection of cocktails, mains and also desserts. Don’t forget to check out their courtyard either.
Wow what can I say.
Pub food at it's best
Beef pie with mash n peas. That beef was succulent, spectacular and great. Totally made my Sunday arvo. Wow
Chicken burger was great.
Ambience. Very laid back, kinda warm and eclectic.
Staff. Friendly, great communicators and really fab ambassadors
Price. Very fair.
Loos. Not bad at all
So.. I have reviewed a lot. That's the best Pie I have had in years
Great pub and my favourite go to along Chapel st. Outdoor seating is mint as is indoor and the garden bar, plenty of space. Generous happy hour too (4-7 Monday to Friday). I ate the barramundi and was impressed with the quality of food. My partner had the burger and loved it.
Great work temperance hotel. I wasn't pleasantly surprised, or surprised in any way - actually I didn't think much at all what the temperance hotel should be, as I had never been, or at least cant remember having gone, unless I had been before the renovations which I'm guessing were a few years ago,but which, to their credit, dont seem distant even if they were a few years old, owing I guess to the odd treatment of the walls in the male toilet which I reckon is pretty timeless. Anyway I had a good time cheers
Friendly staff and nice food! Great deal with monday&wednesday steak special and with the 4-7pm happy hour deal! Happy deal happy tummy!
Nice food and great Dj's on the weekend. I need to check out some of the live music on a Sunday one of these days...
We had dinner and booked up stairs venue - food was great - staff was great.Would go there again.
It's an old favourite. Good for people and car watching and a cold beer. Our dog loves sitting udder the table snapping up any morsels that fall from our plates. The fried cauliflower... although not really healthy was a fabulous snack to share. Yum!!!!
Came here for the bottomless Mexican 6-8pm selected days. Margs, beer and house wines on menu. Food was plenty and they catered for my diatary requirements. Only fault was that no one came to check on us during the 2 hour.
