Heated Crossroads: Vicolino’s Melbourne Central and The Hardware Club Confront Over Rooftop Bar Access
Melbourne City Council Forced to Intervene Amidst Escalating Tensions
Tensions have reached a boiling point as the Vicolino Café at Melbourne Central and The Hardware Club engage in a heated dispute over access to the latter’s rooftop bar. The conflict has escalated, with both establishments trading barbs and the Melbourne City Council forced to step in to mediate.
A Battle of Wills
Vicolino Café, a popular spot in the heart of Melbourne Central, has been seeking access to The Hardware Club’s rooftop bar, which offers stunning city views. However, The Hardware Club, a private members’ club, has refused, citing concerns about noise and disruption to its patrons.
Vicolino Café’s owners have accused The Hardware Club of being unreasonable and blocking their right to expand their business. Meanwhile, The Hardware Club has defended its stance, claiming that it has a duty to protect the privacy and exclusivity of its members.
Council Intervenes
As the dispute escalated, Melbourne City Council stepped in to try and resolve the issue. The council has met with representatives from both establishments and has proposed a compromise that would allow Vicolino Café limited access to the rooftop bar during certain hours.
However, it remains to be seen if both parties will accept the council’s proposal. The conflict has become increasingly acrimonious, and it is unclear if a solution can be found that satisfies both sides.
