Speakeasy Kitchen Bar

Speakeasy Kitchen Bar was created as a nod to the speakeasy culture of illegal drinking dens set-up during America’s prohibition era of the 1920s and early 1930s, none-the-less, completely legal. Breaking out of the traditional mould of local Speakeasy’s our restaurant and bar hasn’t been much of a well-kept secret over the years. Embracing the culture of Melbourne’s after work drinks with a lunch menu that transforms into evening dining to suit every atmosphere and customer. Our small shopfront entrance – is a deceptive one. As you move through the space to a fully licensed dining space, courtyard beer garden and front artisanal bar to suit your afternoon Spritz fix, followed by a smooth evening Chardonnay. Our menu champions Mediterranean style cuisine with an innovative twist. Paying special homage to local fresh produce. Also home to the Chapel Street’s fabulous new and only Drag Wine & Dine. Enjoy a night of high energy and camp performances, hilarious banter and delicious food and cocktails! <p style="text-align: center"><strong>SAMPLE MENU</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center">—  TAPAS  —</p> <p style="text-align: center"><em>Modern dishes that capture the flavours of Middle Eastern cuisine </em></p> <p style="text-align: center">VG - Vegan option available | V - Vegetarian option available | GF - Gluten-Free Alternative option available</p> <p style="text-align: center">MUSHROOM ARANCINI (V) with a com puree sauce</p> <p style="text-align: center">$19.5</p> <p style="text-align: center">CALAMARI</p> <p style="text-align: center">fried in salt and pepper flour, served with aioli & lemon</p> <p style="text-align: center">$21.5</p> <p style="text-align: center">JALAPENO POPPERS  (V)</p> <p style="text-align: center">filled with cream cheese and topped with tomato salsa</p> <p style="text-align: center">$13.5</p> <p style="text-align: center">HALLOUMI STICKS  (GF, V)</p> <p style="text-align: center">grilled halloumi served with warm pita and lemon wedge</p> <p style="text-align: center">$20.5</p> <p style="text-align: center">VINE LEAVES - DOLMADES  (VG, GF)</p> <p style="text-align: center">herbed rice rolled in vine leaves</p> <p style="text-align: center">$13.5</p> <p style="text-align: center">ANCIENT GRAIN SALAD  (VG, GFA)</p> <p style="text-align: center">avocado, pumpkin, walnuts, potato, eggplant, garlic and toasted almonds</p> <p style="text-align: center">$19.5</p> <p style="text-align: center">WOOD-GRILLED EGGPLANT ROLLS  (V, GF)</p> <p style="text-align: center">filled, stuffed with garlic aioli and walnut</p> <p style="text-align: center">$16.7</p> <p style="text-align: center">WOOD-GRILLED CHORIZO (GF)</p> <p style="text-align: center">paprika-spiced sausages served with lemon wedge</p> <p style="text-align: center">$15.5</p> <p style="text-align: center">STICKY BBQ CHICKEN WINGS (GF)</p> <p style="text-align: center">a mild chilli marinade, slow-cooked over wood fire</p> <p style="text-align: center">$18.9</p> <p style="text-align: center">POTATO WEDGES</p> <p style="text-align: center">fried, served with sweet chilli and sour cream</p> <p style="text-align: center">$10.9</p> <p style="text-align: center">HAND-CUT POTATOES</p> <p style="text-align: center">fried, served with garlic aioli</p> <p style="text-align: center">$10.9</p> <p style="text-align: center">MEATBALLS</p> <p style="text-align: center">cooked with Napolitana sauce and served with warm ciabatta</p> <p style="text-align: center">$21.5</p> <p style="text-align: center">CRUMBED BARRAMUNDI TACO</p> <p style="text-align: center">avocado, bean, salsa salad served with fresh coriander</p> <p style="text-align: center">$21.5</p> <p style="text-align: center">CHICKPEA FALAFEL SALAD  (VG)</p> <p style="text-align: center">deep-fried with tahini sauce. tomato, cucumber and pickles.
