Mollie's Bar & Diner Melbourne Details
Located in the heart of Fitzroy, Victoria, Mollie’s Bar & Diner isn’t just any award-winning spot—it’s the crown jewel of Melbourne’s gay scene. Mollie's has a heated rooftop terrace with a view to swoon over, equipped with a clever wind control design because, let’s be real, Melbourne’s weather has more mood swings than your favorite drag queen on a Saturday night. But worry not, darling, at Mollie’s, the vibes are always warm, welcoming, and oh-so-relaxed.
Atmosphere & Menu
The atmosphere here is like a cozy hug after a long day—comfortable, easygoing, and guaranteed to make you feel right at home. But don’t get too comfy, because the food here is worth getting excited about. We’re talking fresh, high-quality ingredients whipped up into a delightful mix of American and Australian classics. Think burgers that are stacked higher than your expectations, crispy fries that are perfectly seasoned, and portions so generous they might just make you rethink that second cocktail (or not—no judgment here!).
And speaking of drinks, Mollie’s has got you covered. Whether you’re in the mood for a cold beer, a glass of delicious wine, or a cocktail that’s as fabulous as you are, there’s something for every taste. There are gluten-free and vegan options, too! We definitely recommend the Waffles with Mars Bar Ice Cream or the Dirty Chips if you are feeling real hungry. The Calamari Salad is also a big hit here. This isn’t just a place to grab a bite; it’s a full-on experience. With plenty of tables both inside and out, you’ll find the perfect spot to sip, savor, and soak in the cheerful, welcoming vibes that have made Mollie’s a must-visit venue in Melbourne if you want to be in the gayborhood vibes and need some tasty treats.
