Father's Office Speakeasy Bar and Restaurant

A vibrant place suitable for large lunches or quick catch ups. Lunch deal is great for value and variety of menu items.

Seating is spacious indoor with some shaded outdoor area. Ordering via QR is convenient if it works. It didn’t work when we were there during lunch time.

Staff is nice and friendly and service was fast. Everyone enjoyed their food. Double patty fried chicken was super tasty.

Could be busy at times, so consider making a booking to ensure you have a spot.

I make a booking for a party of 8 at 19.00 on 23 July. It was a straightforward booking process. When we arrived at the venue, it was easy for us to get sitted and order via the QR code link on the table. Food and drinks were in good amounts and quality. We had a great time chatting away while enjoying the food and drinks. When we finish, we just left. We didn't need to interact with the staff much, but we were served well. I'd say this was the best group dining experience I've ever had in Melbourne so far😀

Very good service by staff and food was good too very fascinating happy hour meals, drinks & Cocktails. Will be our go to place if we are nearby for sure #Cheers 🍻

Great value steak in cbd , very tasty 😋
Nice vibe chillin out sat lunch upstairs with awesome view. Steak was cooked perfectly with pepper sauce & drink ✅

Stumbled upon this CBD gem on our way to the theatre.
Friday steak special was amazing. Steak, chips, salad, pepper sauce and salad dressing, with drink was $25.
Could not fault this place.

Our second visit here (as we are from NSW) and food was just as good as last time. Their wings and chips are so yum! They have the creamiest aioli too, the BEST. Many delicious cocktails with lots of happy hour time. Great value and friendly staff.

I went for dinner at Father's Office, and have been back since for drinks with friends. It's in a great location, right near the State Library but be warned: navigating stairs are required.

The highlight was one of their signature dishes - the Baked Camembert. The combination of soft, delicious camembert with the beetroot chutney was decadent and a real delight.

Ordering from the table was convenient but you'll get faster drinks going to the bar.

I liked the gangster themed wall on the way to the bathroom.

Such a friendly and welcoming venue. Amazing value, delicious food and good quality alcoholic beverages. Our host, Andy, was very kind and honest in the presentation of his offerings and wonderful friendly attitude. We have been here many times and we will continue to return because this is wonderful and good honest Melbourne hospitality. 👍🥰😘

Love the vibe of this beautiful place. Good selection of beer and cocktails. Their food is also delicious. It's located in a very convenient location - just across the road the from Melbourne Central.

Astoundingly high quality modern food in this loud hipster joint. Good service. A great range of drinks, some at low prices. Many gluten free options. Recommended. Monday nights are less busy. Lots of good places to sit in the bar. Views.

This place has a great atmosphere. Service was fast. Gluten free options for the food. Had a DJ which was great. Plenty of seating, has a small dance floor, outdoor seating aswell. Great prices.

My first time here. Hospitality is 10/10 here at Father's Office - friendly is an understatement. The manager and his team were very attentive, always checking back if we had further requests. Ordered the humongous 350g Scotch Fillet, cooked perfectly and value for money at $30. The other main, fisherman's basket was a tad too oily but it didn't matter because the service from the staff was super. Special mention to Wayne who had excellent knowledge of beer, and after listening to our preferences, recommended the Lagunitas IPA Beer, which was spot-on.

Heaps to choose from the menu. It's a great place to go- after hour work drinks. Service was surprisingly fast considering we went there on Friday and the place seemed busy 👍

We went here for dinner with the 3 kids on Sat night, it was fantastic!! The customer service was excellent, the sizes and value of the kids meal was spot on. I will be recommending this place to friends

Good experience! I had beer course with the bartender and the beer was great. The waitress was amazing, friendly, warm & funny. You will definitely see us again.

Great place for all occasions. I have been here a few times and I have always enjoyed the great vibe of this place. The staff sre super friendly and the meals are A.MAZING. this place is quirky and they have a happy hour every night. Really comfortable indoor area with a few couches or you can sit at a table. Cool outdoor area too

Great little rooftop area to chill, eat, smoke (in designated area). The food is epically good, full of flavour and good portions at great prices. There are loads of vegetarian options, which my group of friends loved. Staff are pleasant and have great drink recommendations and are happy to try new mixes not on the menu.

Right next to the beautiful library, it’s great to sit outside when the weather is nice, you get to see people passing by the library. Drink is good, staffs are really friendly. Ambiance is great, too.

Great venue, with lovely staff, we ordered 3 x Gluten Free meals & the staff were very knowledgeable, even advising us there would be a small delay as they were changing out the oil for my sons Parmi to ensure no cross-contamination. Highly recommend!

Visited here for lunch today....the menu is extensive, and the food is incredible! Could not fault the food and the atmosphere is very cool. Highly recommended
