Jacket Bar
★ 4.9 · 55 reviews Melbourne Opened 2026
A listening bar built for the record, not the crowd
Jacket takes music seriously. The seats face the speakers, not each other, and the system runs a real vinyl collection instead of a playlist. This is Thornbury's High Street, so it's got company, Chabela included, but Jacket is the one to end the night in.
No dance floor, no shouting over the bar. Just good pressings and a room built around hearing them. Tram 11 drops you right at the door.

This bar has been on our list for a short time, but damn am I happy it was only short. We were immediately greeted by the beautiful Rosa, she welcomed us, laughed with us, and most importantly made us exactly the drinks we were needing individually for the time in the night. We will be regulars here. Thankyou Rosa and thankyou Jacket and thankyou World for bringing us here. Kindest Regards <3

Gorgeous new addition to the area. Every detail is so well thought about - even the bathrooms. Delicious cocktails and a great music program.

I was there on opening night and the place was buzzing. We stood outside as the courtyard and bar area were both full. The bar had a great vibe with a DJ playing in the main bar area. We didn't try the food.
