Bar Humbug exists at the centre of the newest Melbourne trend - the CBD's west end. This gastro bar has ridden the wave of the westside's emergence from its seedy past. In what was once a petri dish of strip clubs, saveloy shops and car parking lots Humbug has quietly gone about the business of serving lunch crowds and bar dwellers since 2005, flourishing purely on word of mouth.
This moodily lit bar restaurant, once the sunken level of a former shipping warehouse, has been crafted from it's environment. The decor is awash with golden brown hues contrasted by straight lines of steel and timber. Humbug captures both the antique and the future in its art, design and service style. Artwork is sourced from contemporary photographers but is a throwback to the west end's history, featuring present and past urban icons.
