The bar is obviously great - good cocktails , great service etc. BUT I come back again and again for their smoked lamb cutlet (pic) which people don't know much about. So juicy. And addictive. Srsly.
Nice variety of great acts - I have seen all sorts here. My most frequented band room in the city . They have a very helpful mailing list on their site.
One of the best places in the city ! Amazing small dishes, great service and alcohol selection. Press the button in your carriage and try duck pancakes and mozzarella salad - my personal favorites.
They're known as a bar but they've just opened for lunch and we just had the best Thai meal ever.
Catch a booth on the carriage and enjoy some drinks & snacks from the choo choo's kitchen (open until 3am on weekends). Then, step into the stage room for some tunes .
Grab a bottle, take your company by hand and secure one of the old-world private carriages—if you can.
Love Story on a Thursday is one of the best nights out in Melbourne during the week. They can be fairly selective about who they let in, so dress stylish . Read more
Fantastic beer selection (just like Cookie ) and the smokey lamb cutlets are amazing.
Don't forget they serve great small dishes here that you can easily make a whole great meal out of.
There's a bar in here to suit your thing. Check if there's a good gig on, too.
If you eat anything, eat the Daikon Hash ! Best to go on a non-weekend day to get one of the awesome booths !
Two free shots because I had to wait so long for a cocktail ! A+++
Check out cookie below, then head up to the toff. Great place to start your night. The booths are gorgeous.
Expensive but fancy venue. Good whiskey .
One of the best spots in Melbourne!
Maritime Julip is amazing...Salted caramel and talisker
Get a booth , press a buzzer , be cool
Come for the music , not the service
Wear shorts in summer. Place gets hot as hell on a warm night.
You MUST try the smoked lamb cutlets . Mouthgasm.
Great atmosphere
Try the Bubble cup alcoholic flavors.
Don't go see a gig on level 2. $7 for a pot of beer from idiot bar tenders that can't even pour a good beer !
The smoked lamb cutlets are to die for!
Get the tapioca pearl cocktails !!
Lamb cutler is damn awesome!!!! Best i ever had :)
The house de frost on sat night is always a good night out.
Book a booth the day before.
House de Frost - an Australian institution.
If you order a cocktail be prepared for 10-15 min wait as they make them next door.
Okay so without a doubt satdee & fri nights for a fun dance
Now serving bubble cup cocktails !
Long Island Ice Tea to finish...
Get a private booth and press the buzzer for VIP service. Tres cool
Go on a Friday and Dance to their top 40 music !
Boags on tap !
Home to several MWF musical events this year... should be fun!
love story is good but freaking expensive
Curvaceous girls and 80s ballerinas frequent
Hot bartender LOL!!!!
Saturday nights at the house de frost !
Nice vibe, good service and awesome layout. Very melbourne. Great range of beers/cocktails. Try scoring a balcony spot if you're lucky enough. - Mario Tsang
Really nice cosy rooftop bar which is great in summer. They have Pimms for $15 and they also do movies on the roof as well - Ashley Howe
Go there on a balmy night. Grab yourself a drink and a beach chair, and watch the sun go down- movie or not, it's open. And it's great. Remember why you love Melbourne? You will after this. - Emma Dilemma
A great venue for live music... ( as long as it's an 18 gig) Decent size and a good view from pretty much anywhere! - Niki Egan
Great casual grunge-esque bar in a laneway so typical of Melbourne. Cash only at the bar. - Kelvin Wong
Definitely worth a visit. Great atmosphere and music! It's another themed bar... but I won't spoil it for you. I love this place but you can bet there's a long line after 10pm on a Fri or Sat night. - Nat
