Sitting proudly in the heart of Elsternwick is this unique venue with an Indochine inspired menu of delicious food and drinks.

The exotic greenery and styling seen throughout Bang Bang’s gorgeous indoor spaces flows out to a relaxed outdoor courtyard sitting adjacent to the local park.

Despite the venue’s bustling city vibe, Bang Bang is a laid-back social hotspot for locals in the South East.

Please note any patrons that book in for “outdoor” or “counter” seating will be sat outdoors & will be exposed to the elements. All outdoor tables use Me&u, an order at the table QR code ordering system. All bookings made on either “standard” or “high top” seating are completely undercover or inside the venue.

    the too loud music made it impossible to speak and i won't go back again .diners don't like it . take it down to a low level where people can speak to each other without shouting. its UNPLEASANT .I asked the waitress to turn it down she said it was at the lowest allowed level .it should be back ground, not dominating, it's not a night club it's a restaurant .

    Disappointing to see that the venue had advertised on Open Table (current) and socials (two weeks ago) that they offered happy hour $10 cocktails and $6 Spritz, however they had recently removed the cocktail option and upped their prices. As per the consumer law, its recommended that the business honour the advertised price out of good will. We were offered two free cocktails to compensate. We were upset because we recently saw the advertisement on BangBang's Instagram and travelled an hour for their happy hour deals and cocktails. We appreciated the assistance of the staff, however if a business changes their prices, this should be communicated with customers through social media platform and updated on their website immediately to avoid misleading or deceptive conduct. We would still attend the venue again.

    Loved our dinner here. Food was delicious and portion sizes were generous but I'd probably prefer something slightly smaller and cheaper. Also would have loved a few more mocktail options without alcohol free spirits.

    The manager and staff were incredible, professional and welcoming, it had been a while since we had been but everything still quality! So good to see the Pomelo Betel Leaf has never left the menu (OG) it is still as refreshing, vibrant and sends that little KICK right at the end. Delightful!
