Mr West Bar & Bottle shop is a multifaceted drinking space that was conceptualised in early 2016 when friends Caleb Baker (Greenhouse by Joost, Meatball & Wine bar, Custard and Co cider, Bluebonnet BBQ) and Josh Hodges (Momo, Cookie, Feral Brewing co, Little Andorra) realised they both dreamt of opening a venue and shared the same passion for all types of liquor.

Caleb & Josh have a wealth of knowledge, skill & knowhow in the hospitality industry with over 20 years of experience between them ranging from cocktail bar, restaurant & pub management to craft beer & cider sales. They have also done their fair share of travel, experiencing hospitality & booze at its finest across the globe.

The first floor contains the main bar and rooftop courtyard with numerous seating options from comfy booths to bar stools. It’s all about in house drinking upstairs with 24 taps pouring craft beer, Australian wine and cocktails as well as a number of interesting Australian and international wines by the glass, over 300 spirits from around the world on the back bar with a big focus on Mezcal, Whisk(e)y and Gin, and a serious but approachable cocktail list with a focus on Australian spirits and native Australian ingredients.

A small eats menu with perfect drinking snacks such as cheese, charcuterie, nuts & olives is available and BYO food from any of the awesome local takeaway restaurants is also permitted (including delivery via Uber Eats, Deliveroo etc...).

The Ground floor contains the bottle shop which stocks 500+ independent craft beers all of which are cold stored at all times to maintain freshness, 400+ wines with a big focus on natural and low/no sulphur wines and 200+ spirits with a good mix of Australian & international products again with a large selection of Mezcal, Gin & Whisk(e)y, especially rare & unique independent bottlings. All beer and wine in the bottle shop is also available for drinking in house with a number of seating options available in the bottle shop itself or in the main bar upstairs.
