Welcome to Diesel Bar & Eatery

Diesel Bar & Eatery is the current one, a moody, contemporary restaurant and cocktail bar in Melbourne CBD where great food, live music and good company come together. Widely recognised as among the best bar and eatery destinations in Melbourne CBD, Diesel brings people together for casual dinners, celebrations and memorable nights in the city.

If you want a restaurant in Melbourne CBD that feels like it has some grit to it rather than a fit-out from a catalogue, this is the one.

The Smokers Room private bar

Upstairs · Private Bar

The Smokers Room.

Upstairs, away from the main floor, Diesel keeps a private room built for the nights that need their own space — a birthday that's outgrown a normal table, a work event that shouldn't spill onto the street, a Friday that got out of hand in the best way. Leather booths, its own bar service, enough room to actually hear each other. Ask about it when you book.

Reserve the Room Up to 100 guests

"We recently hosted our event at Diesel, and everything was excellent. The food, drinks, and overall vibe were amazing. A big thank you to the Diesel team for their outstanding hospitality. My team and I had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience."

"One of the moodiest rooms in the CBD. Great pool tables, proper cocktails, and staff that actually make you want to stay for one more."
Jack M. — Broadsheet
"Low light, loud vinyl, and a negroni list that doesnt play it safe. Diesel gets the balance right every time."

"Feels like a speakeasy that grew up. The late-night snack menu alone is worth the trip."
