Overview
Located in a prime position on Exhibition Street, Morris House has quickly made a name for itself as one of Melbourne’s most versatile pub venues. This four-level venue underwent a full-scale transformation in 2023, turning the former European Bier Café into a sophisticated and welcoming hospitality hub that caters to every kind of outing.
The rooftop is undoubtedly a highlight — a stylish urban oasis complete with lush greenery, views of the CBD skyline, and a relaxed outdoor vibe that’s made for sunny afternoons and balmy evenings. Downstairs, the main bar offers a light-filled space with timber and terrazzo finishes, where patrons can enjoy elevated pub classics like burgers, share plates, and fresh salads alongside an impressive range of local wines, craft beers, and curated cocktails.
One floor below, Morris House has added a unique twist to Melbourne’s pub scene with its basement comedy club. This intimate, brick-lined space channels New York’s underground venues and hosts an ongoing program of stand-up, open mic nights, and touring acts, making it a true destination for live entertainment lovers.
Morris House is owned and operated by the Australian Venue Co. and reflects a modern approach to pub culture — stylish without being exclusive, fun without being chaotic. Whether you’re in for lunch, pre-theatre drinks, rooftop cocktails, or a laugh-filled night below street level, it offers a full-spectrum experience in the heart of the city.
