Overview
Nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of Fitzroy, Marion Wine Bar stands as a cherished local favorite, providing a blend of sophistication and comfort. Spanning two shopfronts on Gertrude Street, next to Cutler & Co., this bar boasts an industrial-style fit-out with white-washed brick walls, black leather seating, and dark wood accents. The space is divided into two main areas: an open kitchen on the left and a small curved bar with ceiling-high wine racks on the right, offering a mix of seating, standing, and leaning spaces. The curb-side spots further enhance the venue’s relaxed ambiance.
Marion Wine Bar is renowned for its extensive and meticulously curated wine list, featuring over 200 selections.

The food menu at Marion is equally impressive, changing daily to reflect the freshest ingredients and culinary creativity. From elegant snacks to generous belly-fillers, the innovative dishes complement the extensive drinks selection perfectly. Marion also functions as a wine store, allowing patrons to purchase their favorite bottles to enjoy at home. Monthly mixed dozen wine packs, known as 'The Deadman's Dozen', are also available.
Ideal for private celebrations or corporate events, Marion offers semi-private and exclusive use five days a week for lunch. The venue's cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere, combined with exceptional food and drink offerings, makes Marion Wine Bar a must-visit destination in Fitzroy.
