IT was the depths of winter when Bar Margaux opened in the Melbourne’s CBD. The newest venue from the hospitality group Made in the Shade, which also owns awarding-winning bar The Everleigh, late night dive bar Heartbreaker as well as Connie’s Pizza, saw a gap in the late-night drinking market looking for somewhere “grownup” to go and Margaux was born.
Made in the Shade founders, have collaborated with interior designer (and sister of of BAR Studio, on the broody, sophisticated 100-seat bar and restaurant that walks a stylish line inspired by the brasseries of New York and Paris. This means you walk in to a room with classic chequered black and white tiled flooring, a zinc bar top, rich red leather banquettes and custom pendants.
