The Aviary Hotel, Abbotsford

Birds of a feather will be flocking to fine feathered restobar The Aviary Hotel...

Coo, have a look at this bird-branded restobar in Melbourne. The Aviary Hotel is definitely not the kind of place for pooing on the floor – only classy birds will be perched on this bar, located in the Little Saigon area of the Abbotsford ‘hood.

Downstairs the public bar is a rugged, functional space with industrial light fittings and steel girder supports. Two events spaces on the second floor really raise the venue to new heights. The first, The White Room, is a bit of a blank canvas that can be decorated to create the ideal cocktail party venue. Den is a much more informal area, with comfortable lounge seating and a darker, more intimate design. The two rooms can be rented separately for small scale events or together if more space is needed for a rager. And if you’re feeling caged in, escape the confines of indoors, past the pigeon-headed doorman, and spread your wings in the outdoor beer garden. As the old saying goes, a bird in Abbotsford is worth two in the bush. Or something like that.
