Mjølner Melbourne

Mjølner Melbourne Mjølner is a sophisticated yet fun restaurant & cocktail bar created in Thor’s image. A contemporary interpretation of the Viking feasts & celebrations.
(2376)

Imagine the Age of Ultron – the time of the Marvel Avengers; is real – and the Gods walk amongst us. One of them being Thor; the Viking God of Thunder. Having moved to earth to protect the world from evil, Thor misses the camaraderie of home and the feasts of Valhalla, and so he builds his own feasting hall. Based on and inspired by the Asgardian feasts. He names it Mjølner, after his famous hammer.

What would Vikings eat if they were around today?

That was the question behind the Mjølner menu.

Not an attempt to recreate an everyday meal from the ninth century—but an imagining of how the larger-than-life Vikings of legend might feast in the modern world.

The feast begins with oysters, gravlax, smoked venison and roasted bone marrow, before moving to a deliberately simple selection of mains:

One bird.
One fish.
One vegetable dish.
And the beasts.

Originally, there was only going to be one beast on the menu at a time. Then our beef short rib became far too popular to remove—so it earned a permanent place at the table. Today, it sits alongside a second beast and a changing daily beast feature selected by our chefs.

Add rustic sides, indulgent desserts with Nordic influences and a few unmistakably Mjølner rituals along the way. Choose your weapon from the knife roll, raise a drinking horn with your clan and, when the marrow bone is bare, perhaps finish it with a wh**ky luge.

Our current favourite ending? The Norwegian-inspired Riskrem—a suitably indulgent reward for anyone who remembers to leave room.

This is not simply dinner. It is our answer to a question:

What would Vikings eat today?

Some experiences are simply made to be captured—and a first visit to Mjølner is filled with them.

The knife roll opens. Phones out.

A Blazer erupts in flames. Phones out.

Someone takes on the wh**ky bone luge and suddenly the whole room is watching, cheering and capturing the moment.

Then there’s the chance to pose with the Mjølner decanter before raising a drinking horn for that first SKÅL with the clan.

Because at Mjølner, the spectacle has a way of bringing the whole room together—even when it’s happening at another table.

Come for the feast. Leave with a camera roll filled with memories and a night worth talking about.

Mjølner isn’t simply the name above our door.

In Norse mythology, Mjølner was Thor’s legendary hammer—a weapon associated with thunder, strength and protection. It gave our restaurants their name and remains part of the experience throughout them.

You’ll find it in our enormous steel hammer decanter, used to pour wh**ky at the table. And every Wednesday, it takes on an even more substantial form…

Thor’s Hammer: 2.2kg of slow-cooked beef shin, served whole on the bone and carved at your table.

The challenge isn’t lifting it. It’s finishing it.

Available Wednesdays only—or Odin’s Day, as we prefer to call it—and pre-ordering is essential.

Gather your clan. Come hungry. Are you worthy?

Available at Mjølner Sydney and Melbourne.

From Hardware Street, the concealed door gives little away.

Descend below street level and Melbourne disappears behind you, replaced by flickering fire, carved shields, historic Viking features and a sprawling feast hall dedicated to Norse mythology, exceptional food and world-class drinks.

Your night begins with a toast to the old Norse gods. Then the leather knife roll opens and you’re invited to choose your weapon for the feast ahead.

Fire-roasted meats and generous dishes arrive ready to share. B**r is raised in drinking horns. Cocktails burst into flames. With more than 600 whiskies behind the bars, the night may continue with a tableside pour from the enormous Mjølner decanter—or a wh**ky bone luge through warm, freshly torched marrow bone.

It’s a dining experience built around escapism: sophisticated yet playful, theatrical without losing sight of the food and drink at its heart.

One concealed door. Two extraordinary levels. An entire evening of fire, feasting and Viking ceremony.

16/09/2026

Thursday nights are made for feasting.

For $85 per warrior, take your seat at Mjølner’s all-you-can-eat Viking feast. Begin with decadent entrées before the table is filled with fire-roasted meats and seasonal sides—all served directly to your table, with reinforcements available when you’re ready for more.

But Thor’s Day is about more than the size of the feast.

Choose your weapon from our signature knife roll, raise a horn and immerse yourself in an evening of fire, ceremony and Viking revelry inside the halls of Mjølner.

Thirsty warriors can also add three horns of b**r for $35.

Available every Thursday night at Mjølner Sydney and Melbourne. Seats are limited—gather the clan.

15/09/2026

Horns were used for drinking across Europe for centuries, and by the Viking Age they had become closely associated with feasting, ceremony and raising a toast among company.

At Mjølner, that tradition lives on.

Choose your brew and we’ll serve it in a drinking horn crafted from real horn, presented in its own wrought-iron stand beside your feast.

Then raise it with your clan and toast as countless revellers did before you:

Skål. 🍻

You can enjoy a b**r almost anywhere. At Mjølner, you can make an occasion of it.

Make this year’s Christmas celebration the one the team remembers.

Each Yuletide, Mjølner is transformed with candlelight, seasonal greenery and long tables set for the whole clan.

Gather around an exclusive Yuletide menu created for sharing, surrounded by the ceremony, spectacle and Viking revelry that turn Christmas dinner into a complete experience.

You can even take care of the gifts when you book, with selected Christmas gifts from Viking Mode available to pre-purchase.

The most sought-after December dates are always the first to go.

07/09/2026

Around 70% of our bookings are birthday celebrations and we think that says something about the kind of night people have at Mjølner.

This is where a birthday dinner becomes a VIKING feast. Gather your favourite people around the table, choose your weapon, raise the drinking horns and let the guest of honour take their place at the centre of the celebration.

Add fire, wh**ky, a little ceremony and perhaps a daring trip down the wh**ky bone luge, and you have a birthday your clan will still be talking about next year.

We’ll even mark the occasion with a small gift from Mjølner for the guest of honour.

Another year around the sun deserves a proper celebration. Gather your clan. Skål!

When the group chat says “book somewhere memorable,”...

Take the crew somewhere built around fire, feasting and rituals. Big plates, strong pours and a night that gets better the longer it goes.

Add the wh**ky bone luge and you’ve got the kind of dinner that turns into a story.

02/09/2026

Dinner is only the beginning.

At Mjølner, the night unfolds through fire, feasting and Viking ceremony. Choose your weapon before the meal. Raise a drinking horn to the old gods. Share a table filled with dishes made for the clan and, if you’re brave enough, finish with the unforgettable Wh**ky Bone Luge.

Expect cocktails set aflame, wh**ky poured with theatre, meat carved and plates passed around the table. It’s immersive, indulgent and unlike an ordinary night out.

Perfect for birthdays, celebrations, date nights or simply gathering your favourite people for a feast worth remembering.

Don’t just book dinner. Book the full Viking experience.

Gather your clan. Skål.

01/09/2026

One important rule: hand your phone to someone before you begin.

The Wh**ky Bone Luge is one of Mjølner’s most popular rituals and quite possibly the most photographed and filmed moment in the entire venue.

First, you feast on the roasted bone marrow. Then we heat the cleared bone, caramelising the remaining fat before pouring wh**ky straight through it. As the wh**ky travels down the bone, it picks up that warm, rich, caramelised flavour on the way through.

It’s decadent. It’s theatrical. It’s a little bit wild. And when the whole table erupts, you’ll understand why so many guests want the moment captured.

Come for the feast. Leave with a story and a video you’ll be replaying for years.

Are you ready to get your Viking on?

Father’s Day is this Sunday, and there’s still time to make it legendary.

Gather the clan at Mjølner for a feast worthy of Odin, with roasted meats, generous sides, drinking horns raised high and the rituals that make every celebration feel larger than life.

For fathers, grandfathers and the men who helped raise us, this is no ordinary Sunday lunch.

This Father’s Day, give Dad something built with purpose.

Forged steel for the kitchen and barbecue.
A handcrafted horn for the next round.
Norse jewellery carrying symbols of strength, protection and legacy.

Selected for men who appreciate quality, character and gear made to be used.

At Mjølner, our cocktail list draws on Norse mythology and Viking legend, with each section offering its own story, character and distinctive flavour profile.

Each section offers a different path through the menu.

Thor’s Favourites brings together our boldest signatures and most theatrical serves.

Sharpening the Axe is where you’ll find bright, crisp cocktails designed to awaken the palate.

Fruits of Yggdrasil is juicy, fruit-forward and inspired by the World Tree.

Freyja’s Fixes are aromatic, alluring and often more powerful than they first appear.

Aboard the Longship offers fresh, citrus-led cocktails for the voyage ahead.

And for those drawn to dark spirits and fearless flavours, the Berserkers await.

You don’t need to know every spirit, ingredient or cocktail technique. Simply begin with the flavours you enjoy and allow the menu—and perhaps the gods—to guide you from there.

Find your flavour. Choose your path. Raise a glass with your clan.

Explore the cocktail menu.

21/08/2026

This Father’s Day, leave the ordinary lunch behind.

Bring the family together at Mjølner for fire, feasting and the rituals that turn a meal into something worth remembering.

Expect bold flavours, generous plates, drinking horns raised high and a table made for the men who have led, taught and stood beside us.

Celebrate fathers, grandfathers and the warriors of the family with an afternoon worthy of the All Father.

Father’s Day tables are limited. Reserve yours at Mjølner.

19/08/2026

The Blazing Glögg.

When Melbourne turns cold, we turn to fire.

Crafted with Martell VS Cognac, port and cranberry, then blazed and thrown before service, this winter favourite arrives hot, warming and very much aflame.

Gather the clan, settle in and leave the cold outside.

17/08/2026

The drinking horn is more than a vessel. It is part of the Mjølner ritual.

Each horn in the Viking Mode collection is naturally unique, with its own shape, markings and character. Made for raising b**r, mead or whatever your feast demands, it brings a little of Valhalla to every table.

15/08/2026

You don’t simply order a wh**ky at Mjølner. Sometimes, you summon the Hammer.

Weighing eight kilos and forged by the same blacksmith who created weapons for The Lord of the Rings, this extraordinary steel decanter is one of only two in existence both created for Mjølner.

Hidden inside is a full bottle of The Balvenie, poured tableside directly from the head of Thor’s Hammer.

It’s part wh**ky serve, part Viking theatre and quite possibly the most photographed object in Mjølner. Because once the Hammer arrives, everyone wants their turn wielding it.

Ask our team to summon the Hammer when you dine.

The wh**ky may disappear. The photo will live forever. Skål!

12/08/2026

The best events are those who become stories.

Behind the emblazoned wooden doors of Mjølner, your guests enter a world of fire, feasting and Viking ritual.

Raise a drinking horn and toast the Old Gods. Choose your weapon from our collection of handmade blades. Then gather around the table as a shared feast arrives accompanied by theatrical cocktails, flowing drinks and genuine Mjølner hospitality.

Want to take the experience further? Add a wh**ky bone luge, explore rare drams from our collection of more than 400 whiskies or have The Balvenie poured tableside directly from the Hammer itself.

From birthdays and engagement celebrations to team events and corporate gatherings, Mjølner can accommodate everything from intimate private booths to our Feasting Hall or an exclusive takeover of the entire venue.

This isn’t another function package in another function room.

It’s a feast your guests will remember.

Let us create an event the old gods would approve of. Skål.
