Inaccessible Bar In London CircuitBar Rochford

Bar Rochford is an inaccessible wine & cocktail bar hidden away in the one of the capital’s oldest buildings, the iconic Melbourne Building. Being a heritage listed building they are not permitted to install a lift. However, the staff are more than willing to help anyone with mobility issues, if it's possible, up the stairs to the first floor. They say they have done it before a number of times, just ask.

There is a mixture of fixed booths & moveable tables & chairs. High tables with stools are available along with the drinks bar.

The centerpiece at Bar Rochford is a huge arched window overlooking London Circuit. In winter, there’s also a roaring fire to enjoy. The record collection mirrors the wine list: eclectic, funky & extensive. Traditional classic bottles sit alongside alternate varietals, bolstered by handwritten specials on butcher’s paper that constantly change as bottles run out. What’s local & in season governs what you’ll find on the menu here. It’s separated into cheeses & charcuterie, snacks & share plates. They're all about fine food, exciting wine producers & good jams.

Accessible parking can be found at Hobart & Knowles Place, accessible toilets at the Canberra Centre on Bunda Street.
