LOCATION
Melbourne CBD behind 333 Collins St.

DETAILS
The building features original bluestone walls, from the earlier woolshed days, deep colours, comfy chairs and a warm familiar ambience.With a well designed floor plan that recognises that the needs of diners and drinkers are vastly different, Bluestone features two main areas: the upstairs dining room and the stylish, downstairs lounge bar.

FOOD & BEVERAGE
Bluestone's renowned executive Chef Rob Harryman leads the dynamic team, presenting a Modern Australian menu, with both European and contemporary dishes, in stylish and private surrounds.

The Dining Room
The upstairs dining area truly is divine with an opulent, yet warm and inviting ambience. Featuring bare stone walls, upholstery of dark, rich crimson, gilt framed mirrors and gloriously well spaced tables draped with crisp, quality linen. The setting is the perfect backdrop for the food, which reflects the upmarket, modern and stylish ambience. The restaurant also boast a private dining area suitable for up to 22 guests on one grand table.

BAR
For a pre dinner drink or night cap, head downstairs to the chic bar. With soft lighting, Chesterfield chairs, banquettes and ottomans, this bar provides luxurious lounging and a more cafe-style menu featuring gourmet woodfired pizzas, plus a full a la carte menu..

Bluestone Bar is open from 12pm and stays open until late Monday to Fridays. In the evenings the bar also offers a lounge environment and the additional blackboard menu of a la carte dishes is also available, complement ing our numerous wines by the glass or perhaps a cocktail. Bluestone Bar has become renowned as one of Melbourne's hot spots for after work drinks Monday to Friday. Thursday nights host Bluestone’s Underground Jazz sessions, where you can book a table for dinner and enjoy the smooth sound of live old school jazz (for free!).

Personal Statement

"This place drips with unassuming style ...satisfaction is a certainty"
MX Nosh

"All your staff were very attentive and professional throughout the night. The food was lovely and scrumptious, the service was a five star rating, and everyone had a great time. My son and his friends haven't stopped bragging about the party and the services provided. No doubt we'll be back for more five star treatment and scrumptious food" Nov 2009

"Thanks to you and your team for putting on a great night last Friday. I was really pleased with the venue, food and the service. The staff feedback has been excellent.
You have a fantastic venue and I wish you all the success!" Gold FM Xmas party Nov 09

"What a fabulous night we had. Thank you for your hospitality and what a gem your chef is. I very rarely eat pork prepared in a western style but I was so impressed by his efforts alst night. I mentioned to the concierge team that if that's what he can do with pork then the rest of his food must be sensational. Rest assured I shall be spreading your praises" Pork Star dinner June 09

"Shane and I would just like to thank you and all of your staff for making our wedding such a fantastic night. Michelle's management was flawless, completely looking after us so that we didn't have to worry about a thing. The atmosphere was intimate and fun and created the most perfect evening. Every one has raved about the food and I'm sure many will visit again. We will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for the best wedding venue in Melbourne and look forward to using our VIP membership in the near future" May 09
