Merrywell gave us an opportunity to create a place that captures the essence of Melbourne’s gastronomic pub culture. A place to get away from it all, a place to relax, a place to enjoy and a place for good times. It is a place full of choices. With an entrance directly off the river front a double volume atrium with filtered sunlight separates the two levels. Ground floor offers the opportunity for a drink at the bar in the courtyard or in a private nook. Food is on offer in the corner box where you can watch the world go by. An abstracted steel & leather tree sculpture adorned with colourful glass lanterns leads your eye to the upper floor. A geometric sculptured timber staircase leads you to the upper level where you will find a spot that suits your mood... a high stool where you can check out the scenery, a cosy couch in front of the fireplace, a private booth in the lounge, a stool at the bar, a seat in the dining room or a spot on the all weather terrace, where you can watch the sun set or the city skyline lights at night.
