The Nixon Room

Very cool hidden bar! We went in on a Thursday arvo and though there was no one in there (it was early doors) we were greeted by a polite bartender and were made some delicious cocktails. I could see this bar being a very cool spot to go to on a weekend!

This place is what James St needed. A relaxed vibe, with exceptional cocktails and amazing food (of course it is Essa is just next door!) The decor is awesome with soft touches everywhere and mood lighting that gives it that modern speak easy feel. Good spot to kick back after a long week. Highly recommended!

Nice little bar, we went to enjoy the Sunday happy hour with cocktails from $10 to $15. I really enjoyed my Nixon spritz but the other cocktails could have been more flavourful, especially the Nixon punch we could not taste the peach at all. Be careful close at 9pm on Sunday

If only they’d have more wine options on the menu I would consider going back. We came for the oysters and I would have preferred a wine to a cocktail. I hope they’ll introduce more wine options at some stage

Spent $34 on a classic "dirty vodka martini" that first tasted like pure vodka with an unusual olive brine taste that i asked for it to made dirtier which it then came back tasting like dirty foot or something was off... coming from Melbourne I've never had this experience and was totally shocked. My friend even had a taste and was unsure what was happening. If youre visiting just order a wine but also prepare to overpay for it. Such a shame as it is a nice space.

June was the best bar tender / waiter. He served amazing drinks and gave the best advice whilst doing it. Most delicious cocktails I have had ever!

Very cosy bar, love the atmosphere and delicious cocktails

Fantastic experience with the team at Nixon Room, cocktails, service and food all A-Grade! Thanks so much Alex, Lily and Liam, be sure to ask for one of their signature Japerol shots! 🤗
