Bar

👍👍 Great new addition to Melbourne’s cocktail scene. Beautiful layout and Andy is always lovely to chat to. You can see a huge amount of energy has gone into this place and specifically the cocktail list. Great location and being open from 4pm is so convenient for that after work drink

Henry St Brewhouse

Brewery

👍👍 The pay-off says “Brewed Next Door” and I am lucky that it is literally walking distance from my place. This Brewhouse is one of the very few independent craft breweries in inner-city Melbourne. We got a couple of beers for another Covid lockdown Zoom beers night! Monsieur Grey IPA is English IPA...

Craft Republic Liquor & Bar

Liquor store

👍👍 Have been shopping with Roger Sauer for a very long time at his previous shop and at Craft Republic since it opened.

Murrumbeena Wine Bar

Wine bar

👍👍 Reflecting on past experiences at Murrumbeena Wine Bar, I can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia as the unfortunate news of its closure sinks in. From the moment I stepped in, I was always met with spectacular service and a carefully curated selection of wines, spirits, cocktails, and delicious me...

The Blacksmith Bar

Bar

👍👍 Booked our wedding reception in the function room and the team were absolutely sensational from the get go. Everything was so easy to organise.

Essie Wine Bar

Wine bar

👍👍 Great new wine bar in the heart of Malvern! Definitely needed in the area, catering both as a local wine shop, wine bar, with beers on tap and a huge courtyard / beer garden out back, definitely heading out back there when the weather warms up! Highly recommended

Valhalla

Cocktail bar

👍👍 Best cocktail bar in the city. Trust me on this one. No fancy decoration, just very very good Scandinavian inspired cocktails. Hard to find. But once you find it, it will definitely be your go to place. Very spacious, can accommodate big groups. edit: my fav bartender in valhalla now opened their o...

Bar Carlo

Bar

👍👍 Exceptional service and drinks. We were offered to have the heater turned on, candles were lit and glasses of water brought out without asking. That’s what makes fantastic customer service. There was a wide variety of drinks to choose from. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Radium

Bar

👍👍 Radium Bar is a cosy, atmospherically rich bar located conveniently close to the wider South-east of Melbourne. There's a little something for everyone—be it Trivia Thursdays, live jazz Saturdays, or just a quiet dive for the midweek. The staff and manager are wonderful folks who make the effort to...

Amphlett House

Pub

👍👍 Absolutely was there at the same time as the below (1 star review). Had a great experience. Can not speak highly enough of all staff on shift at the time. Enjoyed a meal, to which the chef came out of the kitchen to ensure my meal was satisfactory. All staff were great and my drinks were spot on....

Gibson's Wine Bar

Wine bar

😠 Pretty average. Walked in with a friend to have a visibly drunk bloke sitting at the bar immediately start mouthing off at us. The staff then served him another drink. If you're after something classy, look elsewhere. The 4.9star rating is baffling.

Pub

👍👍 My favourite bar in the city! Always the best vibe and atmosphere. They’re always playing beautiful jazz music, and they have a smokers out the front which is perfect to sit and have an arvo beer while people watching! Absolutely love love love this bar 💖
