Sip, Savour and Sing Along

The Soundtrack to Your Next Night Out

There’s something magnetic about Ivy Piano Bar. Nestled in the heart of Chapel Street’s vibrant scene, this sleek hideaway has perfected the art of turning an evening into an experience. Think velvet seating, candlelit corners and cocktails with a side of charisma. It’s where refined taste meets a touch of playfulness, and where every night hums with the promise of something special.

Here, the music takes centre stage. As the lights soften and the piano starts to play, the room comes alive with melody and warmth. Ivy captures that elusive blend of elegance and excitement, the kind of atmosphere that feels equally right for date night, after-work drinks or a late-night singalong with friends.

Crafted Cocktails and Culinary Hits

Ivy’s drinks are as much a performance as the music. Expert mixologists shake and stir with purpose, crafting everything from timeless classics to bold new signatures using premium spirits and seasonal ingredients. Each glass tells its own story, whether it’s the sparkle of a spritz or the smoky drama of a negroni done right.

The menu keeps things equally enticing with gourmet share plates designed for lingering. Expect dishes that pair beautifully with every sip — light, flavourful and made for good company. It’s the kind of place where the next round feels inevitable.

The Beat of Chapel Street

When the music starts, Ivy truly shines. Its live lineup is a love letter to Melbourne’s talent, featuring the likes of Francesca Li Donni, Kathleen Halloran, Cameron Thomas, Daniel Zisin and Katie Weston. One night it’s smooth piano and soulful vocals, the next it’s an acoustic set or an upbeat DJ bringing the crowd to life. The energy shifts seamlessly, but the quality never wavers.

From happy hour to last call, Ivy keeps the rhythm going. Some nights end with soft applause and slow sips; others with laughter, dancing and a few off-key choruses that no one will ever admit to. That’s the joy of it all — polished, yes, but never pretentious.

Where Mixology Meets Melody

Every detail feels carefully considered, from the glow of the lighting to the tempo of the evening. Ivy isn’t just a bar; it’s a little piece of theatre where every guest plays a part. With happy hour running from 4 to 8pm daily, it’s easy to slide in after work and stay well into the night, caught somewhere between a cocktail and a chorus.

If you’ve been craving a venue that feels both luxurious and unforced, Ivy Piano Bar delivers it effortlessly. Come for the drinks, stay for the soundtrack, and leave with a tune still in your head.
