Stockist Spotlight: Arnold’s Kensington

In the heart of Melbourne’s inner north, Arnold’s Kensington has quickly become a neighbourhood favourite — a wine bar and restaurant where good food, great drinks, and warm hospitality meet.

Opened in September last year, Arnold’s is the work of chef Scott Eddington and his partner Lauren Chibert. Scott brings a wealth of experience from Sydney venues including Automata and A1 Canteen, and from Manze in North Melbourne. Together, Scott and Lauren have created a space that feels both refined and welcoming — stylish enough for date night, yet relaxed enough for a casual midweek drink.

Arnold’s is known for its carefully curated wine list, modern seasonal share plates, and buzzing atmosphere that makes it a go-to for locals and visitors alike. Their menu champions fresh ingredients designed to pair beautifully with the wines on pour.

But it’s not just about grapes here — Arnold’s takes pride in supporting local makers and craft producers. Which means you’ll now find Brewers Orchard cider chilling in the fridge, poured alongside their wines and cocktails.

So whether you’re after a glass of something refined, a round of plates to share, or just a crisp cider to ease into the evening, Arnold’s Kensington is the spot to pull up a chair.
