Melbourne is about to welcome two vibrant new venues that promise to bring the zest of Mexico to our city. Bar Mexico and Hotel Mexico, opening in June and August respectively, are set to light up the north and west with authentic Mexican food, drinks, and lively entertainment.
EAT: A Mexican Street Food Delight
Bar Mexico will take over the old High Street Northside Food Hall, serving up an array of delicious Mexican street food. Expect mouth-watering dishes like the Birria Quesadilla, filled with tender, slow-cooked meat and melting cheese. The Taco Feast stands out, allowing diners to create their own taco platter with a variety of traditional fillings. Additionally, Hotel Mexico in Yarraville will blend classic pub favourites with Mexican twists, offering a menu that caters to all tastes. From light snacks to hearty meals, these venues will satisfy anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine.
DRINK: Tequila and More
Both Bar Mexico and Hotel Mexico will become top spots for tequila lovers. In partnership with Agave Lux Australia, they will offer a curated selection of over 50 Tequilas, Mezcals, and Raicillas, sourced directly from Mexico. Guests can enjoy signature tequila flights or a range of innovative cocktails. For example, the classic Margarita, the Apricot-infused Toreador, and the tropical Coconut, Pineapple, and Yuzu Highball will be among the highlights. These meticulously crafted drinks promise to deliver a genuine taste of Mexico.
PLAY: Vibrant Entertainment
Entertainment will be at the heart of both venues. Bar Mexico will feature Latin music and Mexican-inspired DJs, creating a festive atmosphere that’s hard to resist. The venue’s Hacienda-style design, with warm stucco walls, rustic wood accents, and eclectic lighting, enhances this lively vibe. On the other hand, Hotel Mexico offers a versatile event space, perfect for a variety of gatherings. With its modern bar and expansive beer garden, it’s set to become a favourite spot for socialising and enjoying live entertainment. Together, these venues can accommodate nearly 1000 guests, making them significant additions to Melbourne’s social scene.
Bar Mexico & Hotel Mexico: A New Legacy
John Forman, the mastermind behind these venues, is excited about their debut. “We’re thrilled to bring these vibrant additions to Melbourne, where guests can fully experience the flavours and energy of Mexico.” Bar Mexico and Hotel Mexico will make a lasting impression on Melbourne’s renowned dining and nightlife landscape.
Get ready to embrace the fiesta. Bar Mexico opens on 13th June at 39 High Street, Preston, with Hotel Mexico following in August at 238 Whitehall Street, Yarraville. These new hotspots promise to bring the authentic spirit of Mexico to Melbourne.
