Overview
State of Grace is one of Melbourne’s most enchanting hospitality experiences — a venue that offers both grandeur and intimacy in equal measure. Occupying a beautifully restored building on King Street, this multi-faceted space evokes the feel of an old-world European manor layered with modern elegance and playful energy.
On entry, you’re greeted by the ground-floor restaurant and bar, a vibrant space with plush seating, chandeliers, and an eclectic vintage aesthetic. The menu features a blend of contemporary Australian and European-inspired dishes — from freshly shucked oysters and house-made gnocchi to grass-fed steaks and elegant desserts. The bar serves up classic and creative cocktails, alongside local wines and premium spirits.
The real magic, however, lies beneath the surface — Fall from Grace, the venue’s hidden basement speakeasy. Accessed via a bookshelf, this moody, candle-lit space is rich with velvet, dark timber, and intimate charm. It’s perfect for date nights, late-night cocktails, or private gatherings.
State of Grace also offers an upstairs rooftop terrace, which adds yet another dimension to the venue. It’s ideal for soaking in Melbourne’s skyline while enjoying drinks in a relaxed but stylish environment.
Whether you’re indulging in a romantic dinner, celebrating with friends, or exploring Melbourne’s after-dark scene, State of Grace weaves together opulence, theatricality, and hospitality with effortless style. It’s a favourite for locals and visitors seeking a standout bar and dining experience in the CBD.
