Collingwood Welcomes a New Rooftop Bar: Slowpoke Lounge & Lookout

by

The unique ambiance of Melbourne’s bar scene, particularly in Collingwood, has been amplified by the debut of Slowpoke Lounge & Lookout. Located on the rooftop of Zero Gipps on Gipps Street, this recently opened venue offers a distinctly oddball charm.

The trio of co-founders – Bradley Wynne, Gabe Neri, and Dustin Hefford – have taken their collective expertise in organizing events, creating brands, and designing immersive experiences to establish a unique venue that offers a blend of the familiar and the surprising. This rooftop establishment serves as a fashionable yet nostalgic hideaway where guests are welcomed and even encouraged to showcase their most peculiar personalities. The ambiance, reminiscent of Looney Tunes’ Slowpoke Rodriguez, encourages visitors to unwind, interact, and appreciate the moment.

The design blends sleek, mid-20th-century modern aesthetics with the ruggedness of Brutalist architecture and the glitz of 1970s Italian style. It gives off an atmosphere of entering a friend’s uniquely quirky yet stylish living room.

Harry Costello, an experienced bartender who’s made a name for himself at renowned Melbourne spots like Bar Romantica, has crafted a cocktail menu that’s nothing short of impressive. It boasts unique drinks such as a Hazelnut Espresso Martini, a Coconut Margarita, and a Picante, which is infused with house-made honey for a delightful blend of sweetness and spice. For those preferring non-alcoholic options, the in-house brewed Iced Tea and homemade Spiced Lemonade are equally tempting choices.

At Slowpoke Lounge & Lookout, you can visit us from Thursday through Sunday. For further details, please check out our official website.
