Welcome to The Tippler & Co, a hip bar/eatery and ‘in place’ with the locals, styled with what we like to call a relaxing rustic-chic décor. As the former site of Cafe Balzac and located only a stone’s throw from the MCG, we’ve created a space built on our passion for hospitality, food and drink. We keep things relaxed, yet fun and interesting for Tippler regulars and newbies alike. Add to that an ever-changing food and drinks selection and the scene is set for a great time. Walk-ins are always welcome, but if you’ve got a special occasion planned, we advise booking in advance.

    Food, ambiance, cocktails, a notable wine list and craft beer. What more could u want. Staff were super friendly and wow the food came out so quickly but was absolutely delicious. They even catered for the fact i had to keep my foot elevated due to an ankle reconstruction. They made my month as i had been stuck at home on bedrest and was in melb for my post operative appt. Cant wait to come back and try some more delicious cocktails when i can let my hair down. An absolute gem!!

    Staff were friendly and professional. Food was awesome. Perfect for a drink and a bite to eat before events at the ‘G or surrounding sporting precinct.
