Manifold & Co

Manifold & Co is a wine bar on Auburn Road in Hawthorn, and reviewers most often point to the wine list, the atmosphere and the owners. Several guests describe the owners as warm and welcoming, and a number of reviews mention how carefully the space has been designed.

The menu is small and reviewers mention it by name: the fully gluten-free menu, the baked brie and vegan options come up repeatedly, along with a courtyard that suits a relaxed glass of wine. The venue is listed as LGBTQ+ friendly and as women-owned.

Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with the owner regularly replying to feedback. It suits a low-key wine night rather than a loud night out.
