Bar Margaux

Bar Margaux is a late-night brasserie and cocktail venue capturing the essence of a Parisian establishment in Melbourne's CBD, located in a sprawling underground space at 111 Lonsdale Street. Operating until 5am on weekends, the venue features checkerboard flooring, red leather seating, and a polished wood bar with distinctly Gallic character. The cocktail program leans toward classical preparations, while the menu showcases French comfort food including steak tartare, escargot, and salmon rillettes, with a burgundy-led wine list. Margaux's house burger has achieved cult status, and drinks like the half-serve 'petit' Martini at $14 exemplify the bar's approachable luxury approach to hospitality.
