Arcadia Whisky Lounge

We have been going here for a couple of years and really like the atmosphere. They have an amazing range of Whiskey and the cocktails are made to perfection. They have changed up the menu recently and we tried a few items on our last visit. The pizzas are done well with an interesting and tasty range of toppings. Our favorite though has got to be the fried chicken with adobo sauce - totally more-ish!

What a cheeky and fun venue! The atmosphere is bohemian, the service is friendly, cheeky, and impeccable. Food is quite good and is lots of delicious little plates to encourage swapping and sharing which we enjoyed quite a lot. Onto the main event though, the drinks. Everything in (and out) of the cocktail book has been perfectly prepared and simply delicious. Whisky of course is serious business and I'm sure you'll find several somethings there to tickle your fancy. The team there are also on hand to give some wonderful recommendations (hello spicy margs), and the amount of love and attention to detail that has gone into the venue is patently evident.

Do yourself a favour and go there repeatedly. Bring good company and soak up the atmosphere, and a few beverages while you're at it.

This is one of Melbourne’s best kept secrets. Honestly, one of the most extensive ranges in a bar you’ve ever seen, the most delicious cocktails and the pizzas are next level. It’s so cosy, warm and welcoming, and the staff make you feel like you’re right at home! Great for any occasion… date night or drinks with pals.

Very. Happy. Customers. This is our happy secret. Love the energy, cocktails, food, music & love the guys put into this place. Can’t believe I haven’t reviewed here yet. Always impressed with lovely warm caring connection. Happy hour 5-7. Love their array of cocktails & seasonal menus. Highly recommended gem! Maxie Moon the poodle gives 5 paw approval! 🐩🐾🐾🐾

Loving the cocktails at this local hidden gem of a cocktail bar. The Ol' Smokey, tastes of nutty chocolate and walnut with a bit of bittersweet Orange. Absolutely delicious 😍 Perfectly paired with a gluten free grazing platter and pizza. I'm in heaven! Highly recommend if you want to relax and chat in a friendly and sophisticated vibe.

Still one of the best old fashions I’ve had! We are former Ormond locals who now live in London and we haven’t found an old fashioned to match Arcadia’s. Knowledgeable, hospitable staff and a happy hour that’s so good value it will leave you wondering if they got the bill wrong! Run don’t walk - first rate.

This place is a great little spot, hidden away in an arcade. We only had cocktails which were 10/10, the food looked and smelled delicious too. Service is outstanding, it’s easy to see why they have such a high rating. Hopefully we’ll be back before long.

opening on the eve of lockdown has meant that the team behind Arcadia have had a painstakingly long wait to keep the doors well and truely open.
Lucky for us the ole saying ‘good things come to those who wait’ rings too true.
Here you will find a cozy inviting space filled with warm smiles and an ambience that hums on into the rhythm of the night.
This speakeasy cocktail lounge, devoted to high end spirits, hand crafted cocktails and rare whisky will entice you and delight you.
Truely a highlight of Melbourne from the suburbs.

Awesome place. The owners and staff are absolutely fantastic. Made us feel right comfortable and relaxed. Knowledgeable with their whiskey selection. Unfortunately, it was bucketing down, so the cigar pairings was a no- go.

This place has nothing but good vibes. The staff were extracted friendly and the food was amazing. Will definitely be coming back. The live entertainment was absolutely awesome for a nice Sunday sesh.

This superb, classy venue is just "warming up" 🙌

Creators and Co-Founders and longtime friends Andy and Greg are putting all the right pieces into place in order to make this quality hospitality venue into a "legend" and key talking point 🗣 in the south-east suburbs of Melbourne.👏👏

We had a wonderful night out at Arcadia Whisky Lounge. What a little hidden gem! Cosy lounge chairs, amazing food, great cocktails and plenty of whisky to have you coming back for more.

Good food, great service and very knowledge bartenders. You must ask for The Bronx. It’s not on their menu drinks yet but it should be!

Not a whiskey buff, but loved the suggestions made by the awesome owners. Fantastic cocktails, great food and friendly service. Staff were amazing and super down to earth. Will definitely be back!

Omg we love this place. Cocktails are fantastic, staff are friendly and helpful. Food is delicious. Drinking cocktails is always going to be expensive but arcadia is incredible value for money, great size cocktails and food portions. Highly recommend for drinks with friends, date nights and cheeky afterwork bevvies!

My friends and I went to the Arcadia last night and had the best time! We were there from 7pm to close. The cocktails were fantastic, the food was on point, the music was great — the whole vibe is just *chef’s kiss*. But the best part? The staff! They were all incredibly friendly and so helpful, always taking care of our needs and being very helpful with drink recommendations. I would love to give a particular shoutout to Ben, who was an absolute delight — he really made our night! Thanks Arcadia, 10/10 will be back and would recommend.
Oh, PS: try the white chocolate cocktail, it is ridiculously yum.
