The Shady Lady

Bar

👍👍 The Shady Lady is my favourite bar in Melbourne, maybe the whole world. The events are fun, the cocktails are great and the bar staff are the friendliest. There's such an inclusive atmosphere and gosh I just love it so much, especially Thursday night karaoke 🎤🎶 People often mention staff,

    Really feels like an authentic NY (Brooklyn) dive bar. Amazing staff and love the decor! Only place with true beer & shot specials that we’ve found in Melbourne. Highly recommend.

    Lovely bespoke drinking spot on the edge of Melbourne finest drinking suburb. Great tap prices alongside creative cocktails, a selection of classic tunes fill the spaces the neon lights don’t. Friendly staff and great atmosphere, definitely stop by for a drink at The Shady Lady!

    Love Shady Lady! A funky little spot with an adorable beer garden and a grungy vibe. Their Tuesday night drink and draw is so much fun! Cocktails are a bit pricey but worth it as they’re alllwayyyysss good.

    This bar was weird... they started playing really loud metal music which really went against the whole vibe of the place. Negroni was decent though.

    What a nice bar with superb atmosphere and amazing service. Wonder why it took me so long to find this place. Will be back soon.

    I thought the name would draw my wayward progenitor in to this establishment purely driven by his African desire to 'improve the breed' on this great southern land. Alas, it was just filled with a bunch of late 20s and mid 30s people that I may recognise a little too much. Tldr: no dad found

😐 Food tastes great 👍 they sure love their spices and I like the kick of it. Fish and pork tacos were great but chorizo taco wasn't good because of the rubbery texture skin. It was unpleasant to eat. Corn chips were a bit stale and guacamole was bland. Service was okay. We gave the feedback to a sta...
