Reviews

★★★★★“THE place to be! Manifold is without a doubt the most beautiful and intricately designed space in the east and is a must try if you haven’t visited before! Kim and John are 2 of the most wonderful people you will ever meet and bring such a joyful and inspiring air to the experience in their venue that is truly unfound anywhere else in Melbourne. From the beautiful hand made bar, the selectively chosen colours and art pieces, the incredible courtyard, stunning gallery upstairs, delicious and passionately made food and drinks, it’s really hard to decide what about this place makes it so incredibly special. The answer is the owners. Kim’s smile has a brightness that truly ignites your soul and fills you with a sense of belonging and acceptance the moment you walk into Manifold. Johns obvious passion and love is woven into the very fabrics of every inch of the space, and what makes Manifold so truly is unique is how much of it was created in the work space. John and Kim’s approach to running a business is so far from anything you’ve ever enjoyed before. It’s the most immersive experience and could truly be described as a place of healing as opposed to a bar, restaurant and gallery. Do yourself a favour and spend a day in this amazing venue to truly appreciate the magic I can only describe.”
