J&M occupies the top floor of the historic Angel Hotel, honouring the legacy of John Hemmes and his late wife Merivale, whose empire began on this very site. Drawing design cues from the 1970s, the intimate space retains original wallpaper and nostalgic touches while serving as a showcase for rare whiskies—many exclusive to Australia. Expertly crafted cocktails with playful names sit alongside craft beers and an unparalleled spirits collection. Thoughtful small plates including smoked oysters on crackers, meatballs, and aged cheddar sausage complement the drinking experience. A stylish tribute to Melbourne's fashion heritage transformed into a premier cocktail destination.
