After 14 years as a cornerstone of Melbourne’s cocktail scene, The Everleigh has poured its final drink. The award-winning bar, located on Gertrude Street, announced its closure on Instagram, marking the end of an era for one of the city’s most admired drinking institutions.
A beacon of timeless hospitality, The Everleigh was Australia’s only official outpost of Milk & Honey, New York, carrying forward the legacy of the late Sasha Petraske, a pioneer of modern cocktail culture. Known for its particular yet unpretentious approach, the bar set the standard for precision and style.
“We will be forever proud of what this beautiful bar has delivered and accomplished as one of the world’s best cocktail bars. The legacy speaks for itself,” said the Everleigh team.
“To all who have loyally loved and embraced The Everleigh, we thank you sincerely. It has truly been our honour to serve you,” the statement concluded.
