the bar beneath your feet
Miss Gunn’s isn’t just a bar; it’s a junction between Melbourne’s past and present. An intimate basement bar hidden beneath Melbourne’s iconic Flinders Street Station. Inspired by Ada May Gunn, a pioneering woman of the early 1900s, this beautifully restored space blends history, sophistication, and modern indulgence.
For those who stumble upon it, it feels less like a discovery and more like an invitation—an invitation to step back in time and toast to the woman who continues to captivate the City she once called home.

Hungry

Our menu follows the seasons, not the calendar. Expect a collection of wood-fired dishes built around the best local produce, changing with each new season rather than every week.

Food Menu

Thirsty

Behind the bar, the list is just as considered. Signature cocktails, Australian and international wines, local and imported beers, premium spirits, and an extensive selection of whiskies, gins, vodkas and more. Whether you're after a classic, something adventurous, or simply your favourite pour, we've got you covered.

The Beginning

The Woman Behind the Legend

In the early 1900s, Ada May Gunn welcomed weary travellers beneath Flinders Street Station with tea, scones, and quiet hospitality.

History remembers her name, but little else. Rumours of secret meetings, lost love, and hidden alliances have lingered ever since.

This door at 273 Flinders Street was the entrance to the Loungers' Club, and later the station cafeteria

The Forgotten Space

Hidden Beneath the Station

As Melbourne evolved, forgotten rooms beneath Flinders Street Station were left untouched—waiting for their next chapter.

The story continues through history reimagined. Miss Gunn's transforms Melbourne's forgotten past into an experience waiting to be discovered.
