Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Still an amazing place to watch Melbourne life go by especially when the sun is out like late today but their prices seem to be elevated almost as high as the bar. Quite expensive which isn't good considering the state of the bar - needs cleaning and some basic maintenance.

    Hubby loves his whiskey, so a visit here was high on our priorities for our trip to Melbourne.

    Staff were great, letting us know where the free seats were when we arrived. Huge whiskey choice naturally.

    I don’t drink whiskey, but took one for the team - with my first Whisky Sour. Pretty darn good.

    A must visit!

    Love this hidden bar in the basement, its really cosy and great atmosphere. We came in the afternoon when it opened and came back later on and it was too busy to even get a table so you need to get in early and hang around. They have live music as well.

    Been here a few time for a drink while visiting Melbourne. Great atmosphere. The drinks are reasonably price, interesting cocktails and good service. Will be back

    I was in the area, so dropped in to sample the wines and have a late lunch. Food included: mushrooms, olives, cheeses, and pizze. I had a mushroom pizza and was very happy with it. I was offered some good advice and took on a glass of the Ansonica wine (a white from a Southern Italian grape), grown in Merbein. It was good, too. I did like the cellar feel to the place and will bring friends back here.

    We were just walking past and dropped in for a Saturday arvo drink. My friend had the Austrian Riesling (full of perfume and not sweet), while I had a Wolf in the Willows XPA beer from the tap. The prices were good, the advice from the barman helpful, and the quality just right. We found comfortable seats inside (out of the weather) and browsed the many wines in bottle.

    This bar serves quality wine and beer in relaxing settings. The bar has been open for around four years. You can choose any wine or beer in any price range. The bar has a number of craft beers on tap. The bar has lounge chairs to accommodate clients while they imbibe. Pin Oak Beer and Wine has earned a reputation for people spending some quality time

    Hidden away on Poath road near Hughesdale station Wines on Poath has a truly excellent and comprehensive collection of wines and craft beer / ciders in the bottle shop - including small producer champagnes and some great / unusual pinot noir selections, At the back is the bar, serving eight excellent beers on tap, a selection of different wines, and of course any wine can be purchased in the bottle shop and enjoyed in the bar (plus corkage). The Bar on Poath is open mid afternoon from Wednesday to Sunday.

    Ive been here a couple of times with work mates and always enjoy myself. Unlike the other karaoke bars you dont have to book and can just wander in. Its a no frills venue that has strong drinks, quirky patrons and a large array of song choices.

    Have walked by this store many times when visiting the South Melbourne Markets, but have always been scared to walk in.

    This place is not a regular bottle shop, it’s an unexplored paradise!

    Made a visit with my partner on Friday afternoon, was greeted by the manager Jonathan who introduced us to independent bottlers, and poured a few drams for us.

    The owner Jose then came with cute dog who appeared on the labels of the bottles, he was very generous and poured me a couple more whiskies.

    My partner had a great time also, she doesn’t drink whisky - but now she’s hooked on Clase Azul tequila, and we were told these guys were the importers of this treat!

    We went away purchasing a couple bottles, and shared them with my friends.

    Such an amazing place - hidden gem in plain sight.
    Wish we took better photos. Can’t wait to be back!
