Hope St Radio is a unique fusion of wine bar, restaurant, and community radio station nestled within the Collingwood Yards arts precinct. Established in 2021, it has become a cultural hub where food, music, and art converge.​ The venue boasts an inviting interior adorned with hand-painted murals by artist Alice McIntosh and design elements by architect Peter Cole. Timber booths and a custom Klipsch Khorn sound system by Hot Wax Sound Systems create a warm, auditory-rich environment. The outdoor courtyard, complete with communal tables and fire pits, extends the welcoming atmosphere.​ Culinary offerings are led by chef Ellie Bouhadana, whose menu reflects her Moroccan Jewish heritage. Dishes emphasize seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, featuring items like rigatoni all'amatriciana, focaccia with whipped garlic and tarragon butter, and burrata with artichokes and nettle oil. The wine list focuses on natural and minimal-intervention selections, complemented by a range of local beers and classic cocktails.​ Music is integral to Hope St Radio's identity. Live broadcasts and DJ sets from local artists provide a dynamic soundtrack, enhancing the communal dining experience. The venue operates from Thursday to Sunday, welcoming walk-ins and offering a space where patrons can enjoy quality food, drink, and music in a creatively charged setting.​ Concrete Playgr
