About Neighbourhood Wine

Upstairs in Fitzroy North, a crackling open hearth and vinyl spins set the tempo for an unhurried evening of serious pours and seasonal plates. Diners drop in for a quick pour of glou-glou and lose track of time across the timber-lined room. The kitchen rolls with a daily changing menu—seared steak dressed in verdant seasonal butter, fresh crudo, and sourdough alongside standout charred peppers. Regulars point friends straight toward the banana bread-style sticky date pudding.

  • Daily Rotating Menu: The kitchen rotates dishes daily with unexpected ingredients, from kingfish crudo and charred peppers to rich sirloin with seasonal butter.
  • No Minimum Spend Private Dining: A dedicated upstairs space accommodates group dinners and birthdays without imposing minimum spend requirements.
  • Fireplace and Vinyl Ambience: Timber-clad upstairs rooms feature an open fireplace, analog vinyl records, and low, flattering lighting.

Why Choose Neighbourhood Wine

Why diners choose Neighbourhood Wine for intimate evenings, group celebrations, and seasonal dining

  • Vinyl soundscape and hearthside atmosphere

    Guests enjoy an inviting second-floor retreat centered around an open hearth and analog vinyl music that creates an easy, intimate hum.

    Music from vinyl records, people catting into one amalgamated hum, staff smiling and helping you get comfortable as soon as you get in

  • Moodily lit rooms and flattering ambience

    Thoughtful space design and warm window lighting deliver an unhurried, moodily lit setting tailored for relaxed dining.

    If you're looking for a great drinks menu, flattering lighting and an interesting space, NW is exceptional.

  • Private dining without minimum spend pressure

    The dedicated private dining room hosts family gatherings and milestone birthdays without imposing prohibitive spending thresholds.

    Part of the reason I booked it was that the cost per head was very reasonable and there was no required minimum spend, unlike a lot of other private dining spaces available for hire in Melbourne.

  • Convivial space for group celebrations

    Flexible upstairs layouts and welcoming hospitality make group celebrations and company gatherings smooth and conversational.

    The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food and wine were absolutely delicious. A perfect place for gathering.

  • Curated cellar selection and specialty roasts

    A comprehensive cellar spanning local producers and European estates is complemented by specialty features like Sunday roast service.

    The wine and drinks list is extensive with some really great wines. The Vermentino was excellent. We all chose the Sunday roast special with a few sides and it didn’t disappoint.

Guest favourites and standout seasonal dishes

  • Steak

    You must order the steak, it comes with a seasonal butter, fresh, verdant and pairs well with the soft, perfectly cooked steak.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful hospitalities and distinct atmospheric details that elevate each visit

  • Crackling Fireplace and Vinyl Records

    Upstairs diners are met with an open wood fire that warms the space against cold weather and rain, paired with music played directly from vinyl records.

  • Zero Minimum Spend Private Dining

    A dedicated upstairs private dining room can be booked for special milestones with no required minimum spend policy, unlike standard Melbourne group hire venues.

  • Honest Plate Guidance Without Upselling

    Front-of-house staff proactively prevent over-ordering by advising diners when they have selected too many small plates rather than upselling.

  • Attentive Dietary Care

    Waitstaff accommodate specific guest dietary requirements with attentive care across the shared menu dishes.

Before you head over

Helpful tips on arrival, spaces, and ordering for an effortless visit

  • Spotting the Entrance & Stairs

    Enter via an unmarked single door and head straight up the stairs to reach the dining rooms, as the venue is set on the upper level and requires climbing stairs.

  • Booking Group Dining with No Minimum Spend

    Reserve the dedicated private dining room for family or milestone celebrations to secure a quiet, conversational space with no required minimum spend.

  • Ordering from the Rotating Menu

    The kitchen regularly updates its rotating seasonal dishes; ask the floor staff for tailored recommendations to avoid over-ordering small plates.
