new gold mountain
MELBOURNE CIRCA 1850
New Gold Mountain takes its name from the Victorian gold rush of the 1850s and the thousands of people who travelled to Victoria in search of gold and a new beginning.
For Chinese migrants, America had already become known as Gam Saan — Gold Mountain — during the Californian gold rush. When gold was discovered in Victoria, Australia became Sun Gum Saan: the New Gold Mountain.
As Melbourne grew, nearby Little Bourke Street became the heart of the city’s Chinese community. Shops, restaurants, importers and merchants flourished alongside the boarding houses, gambling rooms and other businesses tucked into the surrounding laneways.
Hidden away on Liverpool Street, New Gold Mountain draws on that history. Its intimate, richly layered interior takes cues from old Shanghai and Melbourne’s historic Chinatown, while what’s behind the bar is distinctly Australian.
Our drinks celebrate Australian spirits, ingredients and producers, with house infusions and cocktails designed to showcase what Australia has to offer.
A little Melbourne history, a little Shanghai glamour, and a very Australian bar.
