Amelia Shaw Bar

Amelia Shaw Bar occupies the upper level of the historic Retreat Hotel on Sydney Road in Brunswick, named after the hotel's first female licensee from 1842. Designed with inspiration from carefree 1960s Californian aesthetics, the four-room venue evokes the spirit of a summer poolside retreat with polished interiors that elevate Brunswick's hospitality scene. The bar spans multiple intimate spaces and operates Thursday through Sunday, with extended hours on Friday and Saturday. The design seamlessly blends retro Californian charm with contemporary sophistication, creating a sophisticated haven for cocktail enthusiasts in Melbourne's inner north.
