Mr West | 106 Nicholson Street | Footscray

“Mr West is an award-winning, multifaceted drinking space that opened in 2017. Unlike many bars that have a particular focus on one thing such as wine, cocktails, spirits or beer, Mr West prides itself on checking all the boxes. The first floor features the main bar and outdoor courtyard with a range of seating options such as comfy booths, bar stools and plenty of space for large groups. With 30 taps pouring independent beer from the old and new world, lo-fi wine, seasonal cocktails, and over 300 spirits with a strong focus on Mezcal, Whisk(e)y, and Gin. A small eats menu includes cheese, charcuterie, nuts, and olives or order pizza directly to your table from the legendary Slice Shop Pizza. BYO food from other local, independent restaurants is also welcome. Downstairs, the bottle shop stocks 400+ independent craft beers and ciders (all cold-stored for freshness), 400+ lo-fi and natural wines, and 200+ Australian and international spirits. All beer and wine in the shop is available to enjoy in-house, with seating options in the bottle shop, the alfresco tables or upstairs in the main bar. For those who can’t make it to the venue, you can shop the full range online and have it delivered straight to your door, Australia wide.”
