• Post Office Hero

    Welcome to Post Office Bar Pizza



Offshore inspiration led to our decision to do something different with this site…We thought, what would New York do with a space like this? How would London interact with it?  And ultimately then, what does Melbourne need from it?

Small, though it is, we’ve revelled in the challenge of talking “square millimetres” rather than “square metres”, and we hope we’ve got it right!

Post Office is open 7 days a week for dinner and Wednesday to Sunday for lunch, and offers a great selection of wood-fired pizzas and shared plates. So come in and say hi, and enjoy a glass of wine, beer or carefully crafted cocktail (and yes, we are a great first date venue!)

We hope to see you soon!

Cheers, The Boys.

This large bar space incorporates a stunning white marble bar beneath a working wine-store gantry, along with intimate combinations of bar table dining. Look up and you’ll discover the century-old magic of the original Post Office building.

Beer Garden


The hustle and bustle of Swan Street has never looked so good when you sip a cold beer in the Post Office beer garden. It’s right on the street, set amongst a laid back design of formed concrete, timber and steel. The laser cut mural gives the effect of flight as the backlit colours phase through the night. For trivia buffs – the series of tables and benches cantilevered at different heights off the wall are inspired by musical notes on a scale, our tribute to the building’s brief incarnation as a jazz club. The entire beer garden is heated, and covered for winter with retractable awnings. So, the obvious question – have our designers thought of everything? Yes.




Private Room


We offer groups of eight to ten our private room. It’s the only space in the venue that can be booked and can offer either a dining experience (via a stunning Vic-ash dining table) or a cocktail feel (with loose chairs, bench seats and cocktail tables). When the space isn’t booked, its free for all access. Grab a bottle of wine and a cheese platter. Perfect.




Functions


For groups of 8 to 10 people we offer our Private Room. For larger group and events we ask you to keep in mind the venue is small, and as such we can’t offer any area exclusively. The way it works best is tell us you’re coming and tell us what for (birthday, work drinks, engagement etc). Tell us how many people and what time you’re arriving. We’ll always do our best to work with groups and functions but the reality is loose gatherings work best at Post Office Bar Pizza.
We are happy to hold private events from Sunday through to Thursday, and for any other style functions we recommend Holliava or Richmond Club Hotel – both of which are in Swan Street, Richmond – or Prahran Hotel, in Prahran.




Postcards & Letters


It’s hard to deny – there’s something just so cool about letters. About sending post cards. About pen and paper. Something so cool and, maybe, romantic? Whatever it is we all agree, so we’ve installed a post box at Post Office Hotel to help with your letter-writing! Here’s the deal – any letter or post card posted in the Hotel’s Post Box will be stamped and sent by us. For free! For nothing! And the Hotel Post Cards are free as well. So there it is. No more excuses. All you have to do is begin -


Dear…..
