Broadsheet
“Most American-themed bars and restaurants in Melbourne lean towards smoked meats and the Texan-style barbeque of the South. Not Silverlake Social. Chapel Street’s new US-style bar is inspired by the watering holes of sunny California.”
Concrete Playground
“Neon-drenched, tinny-slinging dive bar this is not. Nor is it sporting a Southern-style saloon fitout, cowhides or a Texas twang. Instead, Brother, Nicholas & Thomas have come up with something that's crisp, contemporary and a destination for standout American booze.”
Urban List
“The Silverlake Social, a nod to the LA suburb that shares its name, is appropriately fitted out like a glorified West Coast American bar. Complete with a winding bar top, cosy stools, television (permanently displaying US sports) and neon lights”
Australian Bartender
“This new Melbourne bar comes from the brothers behind The White Oaks Saloon… taking the LA neighbourhood of Silver Lake for their inspiration, Silverlake offers “a carefully collated spectrum of US anthems, craft beers, fresh cocktails and US sports.”
