One or Two Bar

A Japanese whisky bar on 18 Celestial Avenue, Melbourne.

One or Two Bar is a contemporary whisky and cocktail bar located in Melbourne’s Chinatown, at 18 Celestial Avenue. It is a small, 26-seat bar situated in a narrow space within a heritage-listed building dating back to 1895. Inspired by the Japanese TV series “Midnight Diner,” we designed the space to reflect a warm, inviting atmosphere with a focus on exceptional drinks and Japanese hospitality. The bar’s design follows the wabi-sabi aesthetic, emphasizing the beauty of impermanence and simplicity with a minimalist interior of natural wood and monochromatic tones.

The bar offers a curated selection of innovative cocktails and a variety of small-batch whiskies, primarily single malts from Scotland. The cocktail menu is dynamic, featuring unique creations, classic cocktails, and guest cocktails from renowned bars worldwide. Additionally, the bar provides a selection of snacks that complement the drinks, and both the drink and snack menus rotate regularly.
