KITCHEN

As well as catering full meals are available in-house at The Espy Kitchen if the performers feel like a full meal before or after their gig, or if they feel like returning the next

Melbourne's iconic home of live music has a stunning kitchen and bar area and now truly offers the whole package; great food, reasonable prices, killer location and the same relaxed Espy vibe.

The Espy Kitchen has two levels, with a mezzanine area seating 70 people or 150 standing, a balcony and full length windows looking out over the Esplanade, providing one of the best views of the bay as the sun sets over St Kilda. The Mezzanine also features a huge window overlooking the famous Front Bar stage, which for major events can be opened, literally joining the Mezzanine to the Front Bar vibe. Downstairs the Espy Kitchen caters for another 50 people.

The Espy Kitchen menu has something to suit all tastes and budgets, with a great mix of delicious Asian rice dishes, Steak, Fish or Soup of the day, Salads, Pastas and the traditional 'pub favourites.’ The menu encompasses something for everyone including a hearty weekend breakfast menu for those recovering from the night before or those just happy to relax and peruse the paper with a coffee.

The presence of The Espy Kitchen ensures that patrons have a place to come a grab a quick bite before seeing a band, or just relax and enjoy the fantastic views over St.Kilda beach while being part of a thriving live music venue.
