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.

Brendan Tonkin

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.

Katie T.

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.

Shawn Callahan

They're known as a bar but they've just opened for lunch and we just had the best Thai meal ever.

Pedro Merces

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 .

AskMen

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

Daniel Kerwin

Fantastic beer selection (just like Cookie ) and the smokey lamb cutlets are amazing.

Cris Pearson

Don't forget they serve great small dishes here that you can easily make a whole great meal out of.
