Lenny's Wine Room
Themed nights, drink specials, and inviting interiors are reasons to visit Richmond’s Lenny’s Wine Room.
Overview
A short meander from Richmond station, Lenny's was started by four friends — former AFL player Angus Brayshaw, hospitality maven Kirra Pemberton, and their two friends Jack Munro and Danielle Frawley.
The wine list is over 130 bottles-strong, and can be enjoyed either while you're at Lenny's or taken away to be drunk in the comfort of your own home. There's a short list of snacks that range from olives and cheese plates to focaccia, but for something more substantial, order pizza from the adjacent Homeslice — a tradition adopted from our favourite Melbourne wine bars like Joe's Shoe Store and the like.
Themed days are the go at this quaint wine bar. Sunday Spritz features all-day $10 spritzes. Monday is Vinyl Mondays with records spinning all night, $12 negronis and no corkage on all bottles of wine purchased in-house. Between the witching hours of 4 and 4pm, it's aperitivo hour with $10 spritzes, $12 negronis and $11 wines.
In warmer months, avail yourself of the 25-person, leaf-lined courtyard out the back, or sit inside in the sun-filled interiors on the custom-made wooden benches for a chance to enjoy local artist Luke Tarlinton's murals. Like any of Melbourne's best wining and dining destinations, Lenny's is good year-round.
