é25 Melbourne

I'm currently on a whistle stop tour of the next 3 é25 branches (Dubai, Melbourne and Sydney). Unfortunately at 46 degrees, Dubai was too hot for me to venture outside and take any pictures, and anyway the deal is not done yet so its still a bit top secret, but I am now in Melbourne checking out locations with proprietor Tim Bennett

The é25 tradition has historically been "grungy warehouse style" (for our locations not our music), which I think works very well in Ye Olde England, but I was never sure how well it would export to other countries.

Sure enough, with our Melbourne branch being located in the uber cool downtown Yarra Marina, the place isn't old enough for any warehouses so Tim has opted for a disused art gallery - all glass and steel and with views of the marina on one side and a sushi bar down the street.

Hopefully by the time we launch in October it will have some sunshine too.
