baroq house

nestled in one of melbourne's cobble stoned laneways lies baroq house with its unusual sculptural entrance, once you're at the mouth of drewry lane it's hard to miss.
just as the name suggests, and for fans of marie antoinette, lovers of melodramatic interiors, historians or those in search of vivacious scenery, baroq house may just be your cup of tea.

segregated into many rooms via period archways and brickwork, there are many ways the space can be utilised. an entrance directly off the laneway offers cloak room and entry via a laser-cut doorway... prepare yourself, it's a step back in time - all things decadent of course.

a long bar with occasional seating, heavily guilt mirrors and fine decor suggests you are among the high and mighty at this tea party. a few steps up into a formal lounge and glorious powder rooms. a narrow staircase covered in fabric and damask print leads to a side exit (or exclusive second entrance point) as well as a basement bar, dance floor and private headquarters.

if you are considering a large private affair, baroq offers staged buffet feasts, fit for a king (and queens) as well as an elaborate wine and champagne list.

one of the playground group's finest establishments to date, baroq house is sure to impress genuine royalty. ensure you don't come ill-prepared with pockets half full, baroq culture is about being frivolous and ignoring the credit crunch. as one fine queen once said, let them eat cake!
