After 16 years of trade on Flinders Lane, Melbourne, The Purple Emerald Lounge Bar relocated, opening its doors to the wonders of High Street, Northcote – and it hasn’t changed a bit!
This iconic gem was a long time favourite for Melbourne’s CBD twenty-somethings. Renowned for its live funk and soul fueled entertainment and quirky vintage decor, Purple Emerald has stuck to its roots, keeping to the rustic charm that earned this little treasure it’s iconic status as Melbourne’s hidden gem.
Purple Emerald has raised the bar for cocktail standards in Northcote, dishing up a 6 page menu of classic cocktails and award winning creations, skillfully prepared by their innovative bartenders.
Tapas are available right through till late, with seriously the best authentic house made arancini you’ve ever tasted!
Local beers and cider on tap, as well as a large range of craft beers. A good range of wines varieties available by the glass or bottle, and seasonally there is an amazing mulled cider to warm up the coldest night.
The expansive outdoor area is popular all year round, in Summer boasting DJs, cocktail parties and blue skies, in Winter a fire pit, fairy lights and shelter from the elements.
If you’re thinking of having a party with a few or a lot of friends, give us a call. In true Purple Emerald style, we don’t believe in hire fees or cover charges, just good times!

Purple Emerald! I actually nearly walked past it!! This place was a long time favourite of ours once upon a time when I worked in the corporate world!
They've still got live bands (it was a bit quiet when I went on Sunday but we were told by bar staff that they were only in their 2nd week). The upside = there was a free BBQ out the back on the decking! (great gimic - hoping its weekly :))
Music was good, drinks were well priced - In a nut shell if you like the old Purple Emerald then you'll like the new one.
