COMEDY FESt DINING
The punchline can wait. The wine cannot.
Looking for a sophisticated spot to enjoy before your Melbourne Comedy Festival show?
Located in the heart of the CBD down the historic, red-bricked Warburton Lane, Myrtle Wine Bar is your sophisticated escape from the festival frenzy.
Our service is as refined as our cellar, slick, attentive, and perfectly timed, ensuring you savour every drop of a Victorian Shiraz and every bite of our seasonal menu with plenty of time to reach the theatre.
Before the Curtain Rises
The Aperitif Hour
Start your evening with intention. Skip the crowded lobby bars and retreat to our mezzanine. Sip on a glass of cool-climate Victorian Chardonnay or an agave-based cocktail crafted with native botanicals.
Pair your pour with our signature Sardine Finger with whipped Murray Valley cod roe or House-made Rosemary Focaccia with whipped ricotta. It’s the elegant prelude your evening deserves.
The After-Party (Without the Noise)
Post-Show Reflection
When the house lights come up, the night is still young at Myrtle. Our kitchen serves until late, offering a seasonal menu that heroes indigenous ingredients and bold, Australian flavours.
From Wattleseed Pressed Lamb Blade to a decadent Chocolate Soufflé with Davidson Plum, our food is designed to be lingered over while you recount your favourite bits of the night.
