We were looking for somewhere we could have cigars and a drink and came across Sinatra. Great location and set up, drinks were great and the cigars on offer were great too. Highly recommend this place if your looking for chill vibes and great service. The music was at a great noise level too where you could have your conversation without having to yell across the table. We will definitely be back.

Always a pleasure at Bouvardia, I love seeing what some of Melb’s best have cooked up over the time since I was there last. The Vino Bandit was DELICIOUS and in the best way possible, the I Gotchu Gang was like the stick of bubblegum from charlie and the chocolate factory (minus the blueberry transformation)

Melbourne Cellar Door is a fantastic spot for wine and food lovers. They have a large selection of wines to suit every taste, and the food is absolutely delicious. The beer tasting paddles are terrific value and a great way to sample a range of local brews. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and there is plenty to choose from whether you're stopping by for a casual drink or a meal with friends. Everything is well presented and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend Melbourne Cellar Door to anyone looking for great wine, tasty food, and excellent value for money. A wonderful experience that I'll be returning to again!

We had pre dinner drinks at Valhalla. A great bar tucked away a little below street level. Lovely interior and ambiance. Not noisy - so we were able to chat easily. They had a range of cocktails and drinks and the staff were friendly and helpful. A hidden gem.

Had the best time! Staff so accommodating for a decent size group. We were able to set up a tab and the staff provided wrist bands so everything went very smoothly. I picked this venue because of the size, the accessible smokers area and the buffalo chicken wings!

The basement is a great spot for drinks with a few friends, the atmosphere is completely different to upstairs. An intimate setting for a date night.

    Authentic Balkan fare. Had the meat platter and did not disappoint, the cevapi a highlight. Outdoor seating was really nice as it was a nice day. Only minor thing I'd recommend is a couple more beer options, such as karlovacko which is one of my favourites. Overall though I was very impressed and will be back for sure, I have to try the sarma.

    The food was good. The music was excellent. Had a good time with friends. The only thing is that maybe screen through the people that booked the table inside the bar. If they want to party and not listening to live band,maybe they can sit outside. Its a bit annoying when you want to enjoy the music but the group next to you are making too much noise until you cannot listen to the live band.
