The Garden of Good & Evil, Cheltenham: Tapas, Cocktails and a Hidden Garden on Station Road

Step through the doors at 13 Station Road, Cheltenham, and, according to the team behind it, you will feel you are anywhere but suburban Melbourne. The Garden of Good & Evil is an intimate tapas and wine bar that opened in April 2014, and for more than a decade it has been a favourite in bayside Cheltenham for a night out, a long lunch or a celebration.

Something for every occasion

The Garden says it does it all: a casual Sunday afternoon catch-up with mates, family celebrations, drinks after work or a romantic dinner for two. It is the kind of local bar that works as well for an easy weeknight glass of wine as it does for a big birthday.

Drinks to explore

The drinks list is a big part of the appeal. The Garden boasts a vast selection of unique cocktails, boutique beers and local wines, so there is always something new to try. Grab a seat along the brick wall with a drink in hand and settle in.

Spanish-influenced tapas

The menu is built around seasonal tapas, made for sharing. It is Spanish influenced, borrowing here and there from South American cuisine too, which makes for a lively mix of flavours on the table. For something sweet, the bar's own recommendation is the churros with dulce de leche.

The garden out the back

The venue's name comes alive at the back of the dining room, where you will find the entrance to the garden. More intimate than a regular beer garden, it is designed to be comfortable even during the winter months, so it is a year-round favourite rather than just a summer spot.

Functions and private events

The Garden of Good & Evil is also a function and event venue, hosting private events, birthdays and corporate functions in Bayside Melbourne. With the end of the year approaching, it is worth enquiring early about Christmas parties and celebrations. Gift vouchers can also be purchased through the website, which make an easy present for friends who love a good night out.
