How dare Friday Club ignore the creations of Melbourne’s classy-bar king Con Christopoulos (European, City Wine Shop, Melbourne Supper Club) for so long? Siglo is his latest and it sits atop the iconic Supper Club looking out over floodlit State Parliament and the domed Princess Theatre. With gas heaters galore, it has been described as having a metal and glass pavilion that houses the main bar with display cases full of cognac and cigars, which leads out to a Parisian-style terrace with woven cafe chairs, folding wood and metal park chairs, weathered wooden benches and small round tables. Grab your galgauloises or gitanes and ascend les escaliers...

Nestled in a cobbled laneway between Melbourne Central and QV, Baroq house has fast become one of Melbourne’s most sophisticated corporate hot spots. With its novel approach to presentation and service Baroq house is an excellent venue to entertain clients or host post work drinks with colleagues and friends.

Inspired by the 17th Century western art movement that nurtured an abundance of creativity to produce dramatic, romantic, exuberant and magnificent expressions of art from sculpture, canvas, literature and music, this controversially provocative venue design delivers a sensory richness of drama, grandeur, vitality, tension and emotional tenor that appeals to the intelligent and artistically inclined patrons.

From 6pm Friday 20th June
