Leigh Street Luggage
Leigh Street Luggage was a travel goods store for 40 years. It closed in late 2020, and the space reopened a year later as a petite wine and cocktail joint under bartender Shahin Chegini (who worked at a string of Melbourne spots, including Morris Jones, The Smith and Frédéric, before moving back to Adelaide).
Besides the name, other hints of its former life remain – a plane propeller, some vintage suitcases, and a photo of the former owner as a flight attendant circa 1972 hanging on the wall. These features are found alongside a blue-tiled bar, lit-up back bar of spirits, Italian liqueurs and vermouths, and a strong Mediterranean accent throughout.
