When people talk about Melbourne's fantastic bar scene, this is the place they're talking about. Through a tiny door and up a narrow fl ight of stairs is a long room with the kind of junk-shopchic this city does so well.

Such a perfect venue... The roof deck on the next level is perfect too. Find that it gets crowded but if you go late Sunday arvo it's a good quiet place to chill .
The roof top bar is a real hidden gem . The view is framed by a floodlit Parliament House . Absolutely stunning. Open air but still comfortable in June with gas heaters.
One of Melbourne's finest dessert places. Open till super late nights , elegantly decorated interior, friendly staff and tasty desserts . My favorites are the tiramisu and the sticky date pudding ❤️
Oyster , duck parfait and tea into the early hours of morning. Fantastic way to end a night. Be careful of the easy-to-miss Sunday and holiday surcharge though.
Wine , spirits , cigars . A brilliant selection of cigars from cheap right up to triple figures. Roof top seating. A must do in Melbourne.
Incredible Morton Bay bug mac and cheese . Highly recommend the polenta chips as well and the attentive service !
Yep, the crémé brûlée and sticky date desserts are worth coming for, even if you don't touch the extensive (and expensive leaning) wine list .
Superb wines , cocktails and spirits .
The creme brûlée is always superb - but if that's not your thing, perhaps try the lemon tart ?
Cocktail selection x sausage rolls never tasted so good. Great interiors - masculine.
Definitely not cheap , nor casual . Preserves old school Melbourne sophistication, though; that's priceless! Grab a hot toddy (forget grandpa's nightcap- this is a class act), and enjoy the view . Read more
nicely hidden away makes it feel exclusive, and large range of every drink possible
Great atmosphere, tempting desserts and yummy wines . Great!
The pretzels with the cheese dip is amazing. Rather like a fondu . Yum
What is not to like about this place!! If your not sure what to drink ask the staff - they know their stuff
Terrific wine list and food to compliment.
Tiramisu is definitely one of the best.
Fab rooftop bar - great for smokers!
Wide selection of beers , wine and whisky .
Super authentic tiramisu . Absolutely stunning.
Glutard special, polenta chips and cheese platter without bread
When it's late and you want to drink whiskey and pontificate.
The wine list is excellent
Perfect for a date or late, late night snack .
The artwork is random and eclectic including the original Columbian Movie painting ! And a Great wine list
The tiramisu is to die for
Great wine list , great staff , great atmosphere.
Don't arrive before 5pm, it's not a good look trying to open a locked door..... I learnt that from watching, of course!
The atmosphere is amazing
Get cozy with a bottle of vino .
Great iced reisling ! This place is the perfect finish to a gourmet night out ! I love it !
Try the sticky date pud & vanilla bean ice cream . Sex on a plate
Try the Sticky Date Pudding .
Tip it. Tip it good.
I love this place.... Not a cheap stop in the night out- but the most amazing wine list !
Try the Creme Brulee . Amazing...
hit this place up for some late night iberico and delice cheese . sure beats a kebab
Great for a night cap or late feed - one of the best rooms in Melbourne
Spend your rent money here... All of it.
Dark, decadent, lots of comfy couches ..even with the snooty, rude staff & overpriced goods..this place is open till 6am. Coming back
Order some rosé , chat to the waiters , sit in the window and look at parliament house .
If you are looking for a six dollar coffee , this is the place!
Good tunes
It's not the original Columbia pictures painting
Wear a suit.
Great casual (but not too casual) place for a drink and a bite. Try the polenta chips - they're the best! - I want to go to there
You can do dishes in halves so you can try everything. Bread is amazing. - Craig Broadbent
Little french-style bistrot with amazing wines and good food. Try the Polenta chips! - Blackiwi
Love the ceviche with octopus & prawns, and the quesadilla de huitlacoche! - snarkattack
The Eggs Benedict is a real winner. Delicious hollandaise - ask for it on the side and they'll give you a whole bowl full. - Sys E
An excellent whisky bar with an abundant selection and huge cocktail list so you will easily be able to find something new to try. The bar staff are highly knowledgeable if you need a recommendation. - James Panther
