An atmospheric destination in the heart of Southbank uniting wood-fired culinary craft, artisan bar selections, and a full-scale live casino floor under one roof at 8 Whiteman Street, Melbourne.
Kitchen Gippsland is a brick-and-mortar Southbank venue where an open-kitchen restaurant, craft beer and cocktail lounge, and authentic offline casino sit under one roof. They are connected by the same considered hospitality, yet each can be visited on its own terms: come for dinner, meet for drinks, or, if eligible, plan time on the physical casino floor. This is a real venue for an evening in Melbourne, not a digital gaming destination.
Seasonal Victorian dining is shaped around local ingredients, wood-fired culinary craft and the energy of an open kitchen. Settle in for a full meal or review the current dining direction before you arrive.
Explore Dining & BarVictorian craft beers, artisanal spirits and regional cool-climate wines sit alongside a thoughtful cocktail list and late-night bar service. Drinks-only visits are welcome, subject to venue entry requirements.

A Southbank evening can begin with a seasonal meal, a wood-fired plate or an artisan bar selection, then continue elsewhere in the house if that suits your plans. The dark, urban-industrial setting keeps each space connected without making any visit feel prescribed. Dining and drinks stand on their own; gaming access is for eligible guests and remains subject to age requirements and house rules.
Choose the parts of the house that suit your evening, and read responsible-play guidance before visiting the casino floor.
The open kitchen gives the dining room a practical rhythm, with wood-fired dishes and seasonal Victorian ingredients at its centre. Later, the bar remains a relaxed place for a considered pour and conversation. Whether you are planning a full dinner or a later drink, the Dining & Bar page provides the clearest route to menu detail.
