About the Venue

The Espy Kitchen can cater for any event. The Espy is THE place to party! 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 130 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.

The Espy Kitchen menu has something to suit all tastes and budgets, including traditional 'pub favourites' as well as a selection of smaller popular 'Mezze' style dishes and great finger food.
