Glamorama Is Fitzroy's New Late-Night Electronic Music Joint
Vegan chicken wings, 'Botox' pies and a cocktail called Bring Back Savage Garden.
Glamour's the name of the game at Fitzroy's latest late night venue, from the team behind South Yarra's much-loved Less Than Zero. Open as of earlier this week, Glamorama will be serving up tasty food and extravagant beverages from their Brunswick Street kitchens and pumping electronic music well into the early hours.
Located at 395 Brunswick Street, Glamorama boasts a beer garden, private booths and a state-of-the-art sound system, through which they'll blast the best in disco, techno and house. Local newcomers will play alongside major international artists, with H.O.S.H and Dense & Pika both booked for the coming months.
The drinks list will have a focus on local whiskies, with drops from Sullivans Cove to Bakery Hill. They also offer an extensive range of amazingly named cocktails. Our favourite would have to be Bring Back Savage Garden (Hendricks, cranberry juice, cucumber, basil, celery shrub bitters and soda). That said, Buffalo's of the Caribbean (Angostura and peach bitters, buffalo trace, toasted coconut syrup and lemon juice) doesn't sound half bad either.
The kitchen will be manned by head chef Shaun Hansen, whose experience at the now-closed Sweetwater Inn should hold hungry patrons in good stead. Vegan chicken wings may sound like a contradiction in terms, but we can't say we're not curious to give them a try. And who could have any reservations about Tim Tam trifle or lamington fried ice cream? Other options include moussaka with potato, eggplant, zucchini, capsicum, basil puree and red cabbage, and 'Botox' pies complete with syringes full of sauce. Dinner will be served until 11pm each night, while bar snacks will be available until 3am.
Glamorama can be found at 395 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy. Their hours are 5pm – 3am on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday, and 5pm – 5am on Friday and Saturday. For more information visit their website.
