Bar Bellamy

Ask any off-duty bartender in Carlton where they drink on a Friday night, and they’ll point you straight to Bar Bellamy. Anchored by a roaring fireplace, this inviting bistro serves up stellar vegetarian dishes alongside absolute masterclasses in the glass and on the plate. The cocktail program? Next level. Expect brilliant riffs on classic specs—think a smoky tomato dirty martini that hits every savory note, or a Café du Monde built flawlessly on a Dominicana template. The floor staff know their pours inside out. But do not sleep on the kitchen's broader menu. The bar snacks are pure scene-stealers. Savoury chicken liver pâté cannoli. Devilled eggs unapologetically spiked with anchovies. Grab a stool, order a perfectly balanced sour, and finish with a plate of plum jam beignets.
