LOCATIONHawthorn.
DESCRIPTIONThe Undertaker derives its name from the previous function of the building, but this exciting venue in Hawthorn has lots of life, particularly now with a spanking new upgrade to all levels. The Undertaker is set over several levels, with a bar and restaurant area downstairs, and a second lounge area upstairs.
PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIAAll that’s left of the original building, which was once a funeral parlour (Undertaker, get it?) are the pointed arch windows at the front. The rest is a warm combination of downstairs bar and cafe, and upstairs restaurant. Downstairs, which is known as the Social has polished timber floors, wooden tables, elegant marble-topped bar and funky lights, and is a particularly good spot for a beer with mates, since the list is so extensive. It’s also great for coffee, or a little something more. A clipboard menu lists snacks, pizza, and main courses.
