The Everleigh

The Everleigh

Step into the timeless allure of The Everleigh, a distinguished bar that has gracefully grown since its inception in 2011. 

Nestled in Fitzroy, this establishment has garnered honor across Australia and on the global stage, standing proudly as the Australian Bartender Cocktail Bar of the Year in 2018 and the Best Victorian Bar of the Year in 2019.

Under the stewardship of owner Michael Madrusan, recognized as the #1 Most Influential Person by Australian Bartender in 2019 and the award of Operator of the Year awarded to Made in the Shade Group in the same year, The Everleigh has solidified its status as a paragon of excellence in the world of mixology.

Immerse yourself in the ambiance of a bygone era with the old-world décor—Chesterfields, crystal chandeliers, and bentwood chairs that encircle sturdy tables. Low lighting casts a soft glow, enveloping customers in an elegant 1920s-style atmosphere. 

The bar underwent a thoughtful update in 2017, ensuring a seamless experience for both intimate rendezvous and slightly larger gatherings, all while maintaining an air of sophistication.

Whether perched at the bar, watching the skilled bartenders craft masterpieces, or nestled into a booth in the second room for a more intimate setting, every corner of The Everleigh exudes charm and class. 

It’s a haven where couples come to gaze into each other’s eyes, having transcended the awkwardness of first dates. The clientele is a blend of the well-heeled, who might have once identified as hipsters but have gracefully embraced a more refined taste.

At The Everleigh, the menu is a testament to creativity and customization. Simply convey your mood to the attentive staff, and they’ll gather a libation tailored just for you. 

While all the classic bases—fizzes, sours, Old Fashioneds, and Sazeracs—are expertly covered, the adventurous can delight in signature concoctions like the Debutant, a harmonious blend of gin, pomegranate, lime, and orange bitters served in an elegant coupe.

Owner Michael Madrusan, with a background at esteemed Manhattan bars PDT and Milk & Honey, brings world-class standards to Melbourne. Table service reigns supreme, and the warm and welcoming floor staff ensures that every visit to The Everleigh is an experience to be cherished—a symphony of exceptional drinks, impeccable service, and an ambiance that transcends time.
