Tucked away on Swan Street, Nixie Nox is Richmond’s smallest pub, but it’s big on charm, character, and community spirit.
This intimate hideaway, co-founded by passionate publicans Stu Bellis, Marilla Gair, and Chris Dore, offers a unique Melbourne experience where expertly crafted cocktails, local brews, and hearty meals come together in a cozy, welcoming space.
“Nixie Nox is more than just a pub—it’s a place where locals can come together, connect over great food and drinks, and feel at home,” says co-founder Stu Bellis. “We’ve poured our hearts into creating a welcoming space that reflects the spirit of Richmond.”
Despite its compact size, Nixie Nox delivers big on flavor. Head Chef Stacey Tuara works wonders in the kitchen, serving standout dishes like slow-cooked Beef Burnt Ends, Miso Mushroom Daikon Cakes, and a classic Pub Parm that’s anything but ordinary. The menu caters to all dietary needs, ensuring everyone leaves satisfied.
The drinks menu is equally impressive, featuring local beers like Wolf of the Willows PUP Hazy Pale Ale, a curated wine list, and cocktails that put a twist on timeless classics. Happy Hour from Wednesday to Friday offers $15 Margaritas and $8 house wines, beers, and stubbies.
With its lively Public Bar, cozy Atrium, and intimate Upstairs Private Room, Nixie Nox is the perfect spot for casual drinks, hearty meals, or private gatherings. Open Wednesday to Sunday, this Richmond gem is ready to welcome you. For reservations, visit nixienox.com.au.
