Cherry Bar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cherry Bar is a Melbourne city bar founded in 2000 by former Cosmic Psychos drummer Bill Walsh. Appropriately located on ACDC Lane, the bar is primarily known for playing rock music.

Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher was so taken with bar during the band's 2002 Australian tour, he made an offer to purchase it.[1]

Although inaccurately reported by Melbourne's Herald-Sun that the building was destroyed by fire on June 5, 2008, it was in fact the offices located in the floors above which burned, whereas the Cherry Bar, being located in the basement of the building, suffered only water damage. The bar is expected to reopen following two weeks cleaning and restoration of the electricals damaged by the water used in the fire-fighting effort.[1]
