Olympia bar named among the 20 best in Melbourne

·

The Sydney Morning Herald has released its list of the 20 best Melbourne bars and Olympia rooftop bar in Oakleigh is among them.

Oakleigh celebrates all things Greek, but Olympia elevates the experience. Once an old car park above Oakleigh Market, it’s now a two-story tribute to the Greek islands, complete with a rooftop bar featuring whitewashed walls, ocean-blue shutters, and a stone-look floor.

The menu matches the vibe, offering Greek-inspired delights like espresso martinis mixed with Greek coffee liqueur, crispy saganaki croquettes, and flavorful soutzoukakia (Greek meatballs) to enjoy.

Level 1, 12-18 Chester Street, Oakleigh, olympia.wine
