Diesel Bar
Diesel Bar & Eatery, which is owned by Jamie Nasser, is a Manhattan inspired venue located in this heritage listed building at 202 Little Lonsdale Street.
With a dining experience that is as much about the atmosphere as it is about the Melbourne inspired menu, Diesel Bar & Eatery is offering a surreal and unique fusion of decadence, grunge and glamour.
Designed by Wendy Bergman from Bergman & Co, inspiration has been taken from the building’s previous tenant Diesel clothing, resulting in an eclectic, provocative and distinctive atmosphere. With unusual features, the new Diesel Bar & Eatery houses many artistic creations including an African gazelle overhanging from the walls, along with a bespoke, rib-like chandelier spanning the entire roof and stunning mural on the second level created by Australian artist, Graeme Galloway.

I probably should point out first that this place seems to be geared more towards the business crowd than otherwise, and on a Friday night there does tend to be a line outside. I’ve been here a few times, namely because it was just around the corner from work, and it is actually pretty cool. Well, it’s probably not really my scene, but I still liked it. During the day it is your typical coffee shop, and I wasn’t all that impressed with the coffee, but at night it is not just a bar but also a nightclub. The upstairs area opens up and it is quite a lot larger than the downstairs area. Oh, they also have some pretty cool beers on tap.
The owners have just spent a small fortune to create thiis stunning new place deep in the heart of the CBD, but off the main drag. It is absolutely lovely, if not just a little too dark when you go in for breaky. But what breaky. Wow. The Chilli scramble was really nice although next time I'll ask for extra chilli; and yet the other choices read so well I may pick something else. Prices were also really good.
Thank you for the review Ange! We are so glad you liked it and are looking forward to seeing you back again soon.
