Hamer Hall, 100 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne
Inside Melbourne’s Premium Japanese Restaurant in Southbank
Located just below the iconic Art Centre Melbourne with a tranquil setting overlooking the Yarra river and Melbourne skyline, Saké Restaurant & Bar Hamer Hall straddles two, light-flooded levels and an unrivalled, heated, river-side terrace.
Consistent with its interstate Saké Restaurant & Bar siblings, the stylish Melbourne location offers the full spectrum of Saké’s classic dishes and others with a more Melbourne-centric focus and flavours. A perfect pre- and post-theatre destination, Saké Restaurant & Bar Hamer Hall features an expansive dining room that looks out to the Southbank promenade, casual bar seating, and an ambient semi-private mezzanine with river views that can accommodate up to 60 guests. Two private dining rooms, Hachi and Hotaru, accommodate eight and 16 guests respectively.
