Whether they’re hosted at a chef’s house, in the back of a bar or in a garden courtyard, you’re invited to pull up a chair with like minded individuals who appreciate a good meal.
Prepare to break bread and pour wine with future friends at these charismatic and expertly-hosted supper clubs – you’ll give your socialising chops a solid workout before leaving with both hearts and bellies full.
Me’n’Ace Supper Club
One table, a handful of strangers, and a very sweet dog named Ace. This low-key Melbourne supper club is as wholesome as it gets. Hosted in an intimate setting, Me’n’Ace brings curious food lovers together for cosy dinners where the vibe is friendly, unpretentious, and just the right amount of mysterious. No website, no waitlist; just DM them on Instagram for a shot at scoring an invite. Ace-approved, of course.
Bigger Things Club
Bigger Things isn’t your average social club — it’s a gentle, grounding space for connection, creativity, and community. Hosting everything from book clubs and movement sessions to mindful workshops and intimate dinner parties, this Melbourne (and Canberra)-based collective is all about doing things that pour back into you. While not a supper club per se, some events take that form: think shared meals at places like Téta Mona in Brunswick East, where strangers become friends over slow, soulful dinners. At the heart of it all is a spirit of softness and showing up, just as you are.
Bookatini
If your dream night involves good wine, great food, and a stack of books, Bookatini is your kind of social-meets-supper club in Melbourne. Created for the city’s literary lovers with a side of social flair, Bookatini hosts dreamy events like pasta-fuelled book swaps at Bar Rosella and vino-flecked chats in indie bookshops. Think Aperitivo hour meets book club, with trivia, author Q&As, and plenty of page-turner gossip. It’s the cutest way to meet fellow bookish babes — no awkward icebreakers required.

Crush Club
Forget awkward apps and stale first dates. Crush Club is where sparks fly the old-fashioned way: in real life, over a shared antipasto platter and a cheeky round of flirty games. This Melbourne-based social dating club is all about curating feel-good events that mix romance, great food and genuine connection. From dreamy dinner parties at Rocco’s Bologna Discoteca to garden hangs at Capers in Thornbury and speed dating with soul, each Crush Club gathering is tailored to different age groups and orientations, so the vibes are always right. Whether you’re hunting for your next crush or just want to meet cool people in a fun, pressure-free setting, this is your sign to get offline and into something a little more sparkly.
The And Pilates Club
Part Pilates class, part social club, this buzzy newcomer is redefining what it means to move, connect, and have a seriously good time while doing it. Designed for people in their 20s and 30s who love Pilates and making new friends, The And Pilates Club blends community, good vibes and feel-good fitness into a series of anything but routine events. Past gatherings have seen guests stretch and sip at Brewmanity Brewery, twirl pasta post-Pilates at Fort Green in Richmond, snack on açai after a sweat sesh at Blitz Bar or on Pinot at Gracie’s Wine Room, and flow under the sky at Harvie rooftop bar in Armadale. With 1 to 3 pop-ups a month, you’ll want to keep a close eye on their Instagram — tickets sell faster than croissants at their fan-favourite ‘Pastries and Pilates’.
All you need is a water bottle, your vibe, and maybe some grip socks.
Henry Home x Henry Sugar Private Chef Events
Blurring the line between supper club and luxury stay, this exclusive offering from the team behind Henry Sugar is a decadent experience designed for those who love to entertain. Beautifully. Hosted upstairs in the hidden Henry Home apartment, guests are treated to an unforgettable night of fine food and wine, with a private chef (none other than co-owner Mike Baker) crafting a bespoke five-course menu tailored to your tastes. From intimate six-person dinners to 50-guest cocktail soirées, each package includes a host to serve and mix drinks, access to the chic three-bedroom accommodation, and complete post-event cleaning.
Think: a private dining room with serious Melbourne soul, a moody, art-filled space to party (or unwind), and an overnight stay to match. With options to BYO or upgrade to a premium drinks package, it’s perfect for celebrations that demand something special, whether corporate or personal. Now that’s hosting done right.
296-298 Rathdowne Street, Carlton North
Club Sup
Your cup will be filled in more ways than one after dinner at Club Sup, a warm and inviting supper club hosted by Sophie McIntyre. All you’re asked to bring is an empty stomach and an open mind as you sit down with a dozen strangers to share delicious food, drink interesting wine from local labels and forge new friendships.
Seeking to build a sense of real connection and community in our digitally-disconnected age, McIntyre expertly prompts conversation as share plates roll out and the wine keeps pouring. Be sure to check out Club Sup’s website for all of their upcoming events and lcoations.
Enter Via Laundry
Not even Michelin-starred restaurants can lay claim to having thousands on their waitlist, but that’s exactly what happened when Helly Raichura showcased her thrilling regional Indian cooking on Masterchef a few years ago. Back then she was operating a tiny 10-person dinner club out of her own home (hence the name) while juggling a day job. Now, the operation has moved into its own digs in Carlton North, with Raichura accepting 20 guests each night to share food and stories in a beautifully serene, art-filled space. The bold, flavour-packed menu at Enter Via Laundry regularly changes, maintaining a sharp focus on a particular region at any one time.
507 Nicholson Street, Carlton North
Pasta Mama Pasta Club
Jenna Holmes’s travelling supper club is inspired by the laidback trattorias of Sardinia, where locals can easily spend all day chatting with friends and family over simple and seasonal food – no menu or wine list needed.
Pasta Mama embodies that joyful, intentional chaos, with guests crunching into fresh bruschetta, serving each other saucy strozzapreti and spooning tiramisu straight out of the platter. Holmes is an expert vibes curator too, so you can expect a highly photogenic setting bursting with colourful plants, mismatched ceramics and florals while bouncy Italo disco rings out.
Clandes.dine
Clandes.dine might just be Melbourne’s most secretive supper club. Host Tim McNamara selects a diverse guest list from expressions of interest received through the club’s Instagram, with guests only receiving the location and menu on the day. If you’re lucky enough to be chosen, you’ll be asked to merely contribute to costs (not profit) before being welcomed into McNamara’s cosy loft for an engaging evening of socialising, locally supplied food and drinks.
The word-of-mouth supper club is rumoured to have a waiting list that features sports stars, chefs, artists and TV personalities, so prepare to put your best foot forward in your DM.
Back soon, maybe
Gruel Club
Far from your average dinner party, Gruel Club is where radical hospitality meets culinary curiosity. This experimental supper club invites guests to gather around shared tables around the city for thought-provoking, often plant-based feasts that double as social and cultural explorations. Each event is a one-off collaboration with boundary-pushing chefs and artists, meaning no two nights are ever the same.
Come for the creative eats, stay for the big conversations — you’ll leave nourished in more ways than one.
