Neil Perry has just opened his latest project, The Waiting Room, a hotel bar located in the lobby of Melbourne's Crown Towers hotel.
Perry has opened his latest venture with partners Trish Richards and David Doyle and enlisted the help of former Bates Smart architect, Grant Cheyne, to bring The Waiting Room to life.
Promoted as a place for a cocktail on the way out, a romantic hideaway or a place of comfort away from home, The Waiting Room transforms from a casual lounge area during the day to a cocktail bar at night.
The drinks list features signature cocktails including twists on classics and new mixes with options ranging from the Pecan Sour or Singapore Sling to a Billionaire's Downfall or a creation named Burnt Toast.
In regards to the menu, Perry says "It could be considered a snack between meals or being too comfortable to move. It could be considered a tasty and delicious way to keep drinking and stay standing."
"The Waiting Room fits perfectly into our family of restaurants and is the ideal place to meet and celebrate with friends or to enjoy a drink before or after lunch and dinner. More than anything it is a place for people to have fun," he said.
The Waiting Room is open from 10am till late, seven days a week.
