Winter Garden Bar

Overview

Unfurl from the depths of your cosy couch and put on your coat because Prahran's College Lawn Hotel is inviting you to embrace the cold this winter at its new garden bar.

The Winter Garden Bar has taken over the Lawn's new courtyard and is open every Thursday through Sunday. Running right up until the last day of the chilly season — Saturday, August 31 — the wintry haven has plenty of heaters, warming cocktails and food to keep you toasty 'til spring.

Wrap your mitts around a warm glass of booze, like a fireball hot toddy or a hot white russian. Or sample the Lawn's Campfire Sour made with spiced rum, sherry, maple syrup, lemon and rosemary.

For food, you can grab a rather unusual snack: a pancake taco. Yep, you read that correctly. The folks at College Lawn have decided to combine two food favourites into one weird dish — and there are both sweet and savoury options. There's a hot dog pantaco, a chickpea curry one and even one with a chicken parma in it. Or, if you're more of a sweet tooth, you can opt for the rhubarb and apple, tiramisu or Nutella and chocolate pantaco.

Bookings are recommended as the Lawn can fill up quickly. So, grab your mates (and mittens) and head to the hotel tucked just behind Chapel Street.
