In a crowded bar scene, Whitehart stands out for it's cool vibe and friendly atmosphere. This place really goes off, and for very good reason. The space is large and a lot of it is outdoors, with an eclectic mix of furniture and decorations. I love the music choices here and it's popularity with the public shows that others agree with me.
The bar is well stocked with beers, wine and cocktails; and staff will whip up some fun concoctions for you. It's a real pleasure to hang out and chill at Whitehart on a pleasant day, and it's one of our favourites for this reason.
Beautiful, hand crafted, unique cocktails in the heart of the city. A little bit tucked away which adds to its charm. Great vibe!
Whether you're chasing a knock off beer or a couple of pre-drinks before a big night beyond, Whitehart can provide the energy for both.
It has been rare to find a bar in the CBD with a ripper selection of beers (rotating their tap and fridge selection almost weekly), approachable staff & a consistently solid vibe - often a blend of r'n'b, soul and hip hop tunes for your enjoyment. The spot has been a staple for my buddies and I for quite some time.
The staff are as welcoming and on point with their newcomers as they are with their seasoned regulars, and they're always keen to provide an insight into what drinks they've got to offer in a completely unpretentious way.
It goes without saying that, being a bar in the city, the vibe and crowd does change on Fridays and Saturdays but that has never stopped me from swinging by. But, of course, expect there to be a slight wait on your beverage. Always worth it, though!!
The concept of this bar is quite cool and very Melbourne. The set out is cool and quite and sets a good vibe for a drink.

Came here for drinks and the atmosphere was really buzzing Cos it was a Friday night. Service was brisk and we really had a good time. Drinks tasted as expected, was really good and not diluted. My only issue was the really loud music. As it is, there was already quite a crowd in the bar. With extra loud music, all of us struggled to hear ourselves. Hopefully they would scale down a little bit!
We stopped in this cool hidden bar with the dj pumping out music as we were early for our dinner reservation elsewhere. The atmosphere and music was great, I had to keep reminding myself it was only Thursday night.
We ordered a Breaking bud beer and an
Adelaide Hills 78 Sunset gin and tonic, we sipped on our drinks and enjoyed the aromas of the slow Eddy’s barbecue coming to life in the courtyard.
Seriously cool find.
Why have I not been to this bar before? It's like Section 8 but less seedy old men and a wayyy better beer selection. The wines I tried (a Pinot noir, sauv blanc and Chardonnay from NZ) were also all amazing, and I'm not even a big wine person. I visited for the Singapore Airlines "taste of Wellington" VR experience, but would happily visit again for any other reason. Between the space, DJs and great drink options, I can tell Whitehart is about to be my new favourite city drinking hole.
Located at the end of Whitehart Lane, Whitehart is a two story bar constructed from shipping containers and steel beams. It’s become one of our favourite bars in Melbourne’s CBD since opening in early 2017.
Cool bar and very convenient in the Melbourne CBD. Love the chilled music, grungy industrial vibes and greenery. There needs to be more of this!
Always have had an enjoyable night with friends at Whitehart. The only complaint -as it's winter- is that the outdoor heaters upstairs does a very poor job at circulating the warmth.

First time I went there. I genuinely believe that it's a hidden gem.
The locations perfect, it's a very spacious Bar.
They have plenty of house made cocktails and beer.
DJ and a large dance floor is located in the bottom floor along side the bar.
There are bathrooms and a staircase that leads to the upper section that provides a great view of the bottom area including the dance floor. It has a large seating area below and at the top.
Music's great and the vibe is on point. Great for all ages.
Highly recommended
this is such an amazing place, i’m here with friend on Saturday night, not surprisingly, they are busy, everyone just out for drink and having a good night. it have my friend surprise me to order me cocktails, the result came out pretty good, it’s a pineapple sort of cocktail. and she have the salty type, which tasted pretty good, i have never try anything like that before.
also, they have so many plants around, love that!!
I had this place on my “have to go” list and I have to say that it doesn’t disappoint.
No table service, cool casual vibes, great decor, friendly staff and they have the best drinks!
We had four different ones and all of them has a special flavour, we couldn’t decided which one was the best!
It’s a must go!
Industrial city garden bar right off Lonsdale St. Great selection of gins and whiskies, with a few craft beers on tap. Friendly staff and plenty of plants.
Good vibes and cool place!
It’s excellent bar for meeting friends and enjoy your drinks!
I discovered here by accident while guiding my friend to a cafe. We decided to have some drinks here as the bar looks very attractive and interesting.
Fantastic cocktails, amazing staff, great music and a luscious garden backdrop, what more could you want?
Guaranteed good times at Whitehart 🍹
Great bar, good vibes with live DJ music, The projections and plants make a great atmosphere. The roof top has a small bar, loved it.
