SpudBAR South Melbourne is a takeaway and casual dine-in outlet at 246 Clarendon Street, opposite the Clarendon Centre and a short walk from South Melbourne Market. It is one of roughly twenty SpudBAR stores trading in Australia, part of a chain founded in St Kilda in 2000 by Clayton Thompson and now describing itself as the country's largest Australian-owned potato franchise. The South Melbourne store builds its menu around a choice of base - white potato, sweet potato, brown rice and quinoa, or corn chips - topped with flavoured butters, hot toppings, fresh vegetables and sauces. Customers can build their own bowl or choose from preset options including Power Bowls aimed at higher-protein, lower-fat eating, Comfort Bowls, and a dedicated vegetarian and vegan range. Snacks and drinks are also available. Orders can be placed at the counter, through the SpudBAR website, or via Uber Eats and DoorDash for delivery. The store trades seven days a week from around 11.30am into the evening, with slightly shorter hours on Saturday and Sunday. SpudBAR South Melbourne holds a Google rating of about 4.1 out of 5 from more than 300 reviews. The venue sits on Clarendon Street within walking distance of the Clarendon Centre car park and South Melbourne Market.
