Why it's worth checking out
State of Grace sits on King Street in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, a striking, multi-level bar set within a grand heritage building. With its characterful, atmospheric spaces — including a famous vault — it's become a popular destination for drinks and a night out, blending history and style in the centre of the city.
The appeal is that combination of a beautiful, distinctive setting and a buzzing bar atmosphere, ideal for after-work drinks, a special night out or settling in across its different spaces. The grand old building gives it a real sense of occasion, setting it apart from the standard city bar.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 3,100 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Drinks lists, any food offering, opening hours and events vary, and a popular CBD venue fills up on weekends and around events, so it's worth checking current details before you go — particularly if you're heading out with a group or want to settle in on a busy night and explore the bar's characterful, multi-level spaces.
