AVC leases high profile new Docklands pub
Australian Venue Co has leased a high-profile hospitality component of Lendlease’s Melbourne Quarter, at the Docklands border with the CBD.
Pub, Quarterhouse, will open mid-May from the recently completed three level building at 693 Collins Street, opposite Southern Cross train station, between the ex-Age headquarters (655 Collins St), which GPT old in December, and the AMP building (699).
Able to accommodate 1400 people, bookings were being accepted from yesterday.
The venue will include an open-to-the-public pub and restaurant on the ground floor, as well as at-street dining.
Private function spaces with a terrace – able to be merged and accommodate 240 people – are on the first floor.
There is also a rooftop bar opening to the new Sky Park, which forms part of the Melbourne Quarter masterplan.
Each floor will offer a different menu.
“Quarterhouse is exactly what this part of the CBD has been missing,” venue manager, Luke Bottoms, said.
“It is everything Melburnians love about a pub; casual and with something for everyone, whilst also offering something unique with our rooftop bar overlooking the Sky Park,” he added.
Also this week we are reporting a Fitzroy church converted office was rented to a hospitality group for a wedding venue.
