A bit of a strange name for a bar? Well yes, perhaps, but the name makes sense when you walk into the . The concept for this venue is broadly a US trailer park, in other words, booths in this cosy bar space have been fitted out to look loosely like 'trailers' (or 'caravans', if you want to be a bit more Aussie). This trailer park, though, is located upstairs, on the first floor of a building at the intersection of Bourke and Exhibition Streets in Melbourne's CBD.



The Grand Trailer Park has been established by Dani Zeini (the man behind the Dandenong Pavilion) and Joshua Lefers (the design mastermind behind Pawn & Co. and Big Dog Creative). Their collective experience in hospitality should help to ensure the success of this bold new venture.

The Grand Trailer Park has been open for just a few weeks. We were fortunate enough to be there on the night of the official launch earlier this week. While it may not always be as crowded as it was on that night, it was apparent that this venue has atmosphere in spades. It is a fun place to be, with a great energy. The staff we encountered were positive, energetic people too, adding to the vibe of the place.

As well as the indoor area featuring the trailer decor, there's a great balcony where one can enjoy the city view.



But you wouldn't just go there for the atmosphere. The Grand Trailer Park has reputedly the best burgers in Melbourne! In fact, there are no fewer than nine different types of burgers on the menu. We sampled the 'KSA': premium Aussie beef patties, American cheddar cheese, tomato, butter lettuce, special burger sauce and American mustard on a lightly toasted brioche bun ($12.50). My partner Dave declared this was 'the nicest burger I've ever had'. A big claim indeed! I wonder what's in the special burger sauce as it was delicious.



The Grand Trailer Park also offers desserts; if you're feeling indulgent, try the waffle stack - 2 giant fresh house made waffle stacks, filled with Nutella parfait, freshly whipped cream, fresh strawberries, drizzled with Nutella sauce, and served with a jar of Nutella for you to use at the time or take home. The $38 price tag sounds reasonable when you read that this is a dessert designed to serve four people.

There's also a great range of drinks available, including cocktails, beers and wines (by the glass or bottle). If you're calling in after work with a few mates, the 6 MB tinnies plus an esky for $40 would be perfect on a hot day.

The is open from 11:30am until late on Tuesday to Saturday (closed Sunday, Monday).
