The Bar is Stylish, old world and inviting, as are the delightful saff and management.

The Bar is Stylish, old world and inviting, as are the delightful staff and management.

Situated opposite Federation Uni, next door to Grill’d this place has quite an irresistible charm.

Sutton’s is a delightful little cafe bar and music gig venue that is stumbled upon during flying after work visit to Ballarat when the free V/line trains were going on in early February.

 

The atmosphere is great, and the menu, though not extensive (or expensive) no doubt contains other gems apart from the very tasty burger that ordered just before the kitchen closed and wolfed down.

The staff, both at the bar and management alike are attentive, chatty and pleasant, and there’s none of the imperious barista or hospo snootiness that you can get at trendy establishments in the big smoke- melbourne.

Given Suttons is next door to Grill'd, i had a suspicion that the burgers woudl be pretty darn good to stand up to the competition- i was right!

On the date of my visit, I was served by Molly- a charming and witty theater performance student who provided candid and engaging banter and advice about the menu, Ballarat, and  the venue’s vibe in general.

Its a big venue, that could easily seat 100 with not much trouble, with a stage in the middle for gigs, which are bluesy, jazzy and just chilled out when an event is on.

The canned playlists have the same pleasant 1920’s to 40’s flavour, and its easy to feel at home.

 

 

The lemon curd pie is just the right balance of sour and sweet
