We’ve teamed up with the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival to give you the evolving restaurant experience you never knew you always wanted.

This Friday we’re kicking off Club Munchies—our epic food fest at Spleen Bar. Missed the memo because your internet has been down / you lost your sense of taste in a tragic fireworks accident? No worries. Let's catch you up.

In a (artisan, non-GMO, heirloom variety) nutshell, Munchies and the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival have partnered with a roster of young chefs, bartenders, and DJ friends for a festival-long event. Each night will host a rotating pop up restaurant, with chefs curating everything from the menu to the tunes, to demonstrate what inspires and excites them in food.

A few days out we're excited to reveal the second announce of this juicy line up, which includes a SAMPLE beer pool competition and a world menu premiere from the Lazerpig team — pizza flavoured arancini balls aka Lazerballs.

Club Munchies will also be home to a specially curated bar and snack spot, open to the public all festival long. There’ll be SAMPLE beers and a specially curated cocktail menu—including our long awaited 2018 update on a Midori Illusion, the Munchies Dillusion.

As a shout out to the brave members of the service industry, we’ll be offering a special late night hospo happy hour from 11 PM till 1 AM.
