The Galley Room Bar Melbourne @ The Waterside Hotel
Since opening as the Mercantile Hotel in 1853, the establishment on the corner of King and Flinders street Melbourne has had a colourful and entertaining history. The first publican was Stephen Donovan who held the licence for just nine months before selling the goodwill to W. McDonough for the sum of £10,000 and £1,500 per annum rent.
The Hotel had a further two name changes in 1867 becoming the Duke of Edinburgh and in 1868 the London and Barnarvon Hotel. The Hotel had a long list of publicans including many women.
In 1915 the hotel was again renamed, this time to its current title, The Waterside Hotel

 

Tucked discreetly in The Waterside Hotel building at Level One, this quintessentially stylish cocktail bar has been designed to impress. An exclusive atmosphere with intimate corners for private chats and relaxed lounging awaits.

The Galley Room features one of Melbourne's most creative cocktail lists, purpose-designed by Jason Williams, former ALIA Bartender of the year. Chef Darren McKinlay has designed a canape menu full of delicacies from the Galley Kitchen using fresh quality produce.
Let our highly attentive staff do all the work for you.
