Moshi ManakaNovember 20, 2012Amazing space with a super cool vibe lots of students and after workers due to location and its great happy hour. $4pizza $20 cocktail jugs...just bring patience because service is a wee bit slow
The best bar and the best bar manager. What more do you want?
Praveen VijayanNovember 26, 2014Nice bar with good happy hour prices. Gets really crowded on Friday evenings and it can be very difficult to get a seat.
Robz HDecember 16, 2016Location is great, food is good, service is okay, deals for work groups is less than desirable, the sticky floor that instantly adheres to absolutely everything that touches it is total bollocks.
$4 pizzas from 7 pm-10 pm. The cocktails by the jug tends to have a little too much ice so better go for individual drinks or a jug of beer.
Kristian WilliamsOctober 9, 2014Amazing happy hour, can't go past the $8 jugs, and good food to complement.
- Shien JunusDecember 27, 2010Nice place to unwind on summer days. Balcony overlooks the state library. I love their chili fries! But the tap-beer was a bit warm the last time I came here :(
- Carrie CDecember 16, 2011On the whole, overpriced tiny portioned Asian food that's just average. However, pork belly was yummy w an awesome crackling. Buuut...great bar vibe & the balcony IS pretty cool. Just drink don't eat!
zigiprimoFebruary 17, 2010Cool place in Melbourne Central! Has half-price on entire menu (except drinks) for students! Just show your student ID, upon food order!- Ken YipMay 13, 2015overly crowded and noisy, but good cheap drinks and good if u can get there early
TomfooleryNovember 30, 2014Not the fanciest place, but good for students and those wanting a cheap jug or two
TomDecember 31, 2011Have the strawberry colada it is like the yummiest strawberry milkshake ever but better.
Adrian LidseyAugust 15, 2013Don't drink the sumo it might be cheap but tastes like 8 day old vic which has been sitting in the sun
This is the best bar in Melbourne central. The only bar with a balcony!
DianaApril 6, 2010Share the duck salad or some chilli chips with a longneck or two on a lazy afternoon.
Ah Lai Huat AhNovember 22, 2012Nice place but I can taste that $4 pizza is microwaved. House beer taste like... Water... which does not goes well with pizza.
Vivian NguyenSeptember 10, 2010Cocktails are great, beef salad not so good, service a tad slow. Purely a top place just for drinks not food!
Beware of the little flies, they love swimming in your beer.
