Free Housewarming celebration 9–12 October

Make your visit even more memorable by exploring our vibrant range of bars, restaurants and cafés.

Restaurants

Begin your evening with a pre-show dinner at The Barre, located in the Theatres Building beneath our iconic spire. Enjoy a seasonal menu and expertly matched drinks in a stylish yet relaxed setting. The Barre also stays open late, making it the perfect spot for a post-show drink or late-night bite.

At Hamer Hall, explore our partner venues with stunning views of the Yarra River and city skyline. Experience modern Japanese cuisine at Saké, or indulge in Mediterranean flavours at Teatro.

Quick and casual

If you're after something more relaxed, grab a coffee and quick bite at our outdoor café Protagonist, located just outside the Theatres Building, or head to Allegro on Level 5. Both offer a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, along with light fare like sandwiches, wraps, and salads.

Foyer Bars

For added convenience, foyer bars are located on each level of the Theatres Building and Hamer Hall. They’re the ideal place to enjoy a drink or snack before the show or during intermission.

No matter your taste or schedule, Arts Centre Melbourne has a range of food and drink options to suit every experience.

Pop-Ups

Celebrate game week when the LA Rams and San Francisco 49ers come to town with a selection of Aussie favourites. Join us for a classic sausage sizzle, loaded Bratwurst and Vienna Frankfurts, coffee and cold drinks. Available 10–11 September, from 8am.

From September through to March 2027, take a moment to pause, explore and indulge with an elevated ice cream experience at the Connoisseur Gourmet Ice Cream Parlour on the Theatres Building forecourt.

Joining Connoisseur across Housewarming Weekend (9–11 October), is a line-up of food trucks, serving authentic Italian woodfired pizza, flavourful Korean and Japanese street food, and premium Greek doughnuts.
