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.

    Better at Happy Hour
    $10.00 Espresso Martini.
    The interior need an upgrade. JT-Aug 2019.

    Pre-movie ... drinks & nibbles ....

    Can be difficult to find a table if you are in a big group, but it's quite a convenient place to hang out pre-movie ... lots of options for food and coffee outside, along Lygon St though.

    Outdoor verandah with a view. JT-16/10/2017.

    Fantastic evening - music was phenomenal with musicians who really know their stuff (the Jazz Alchemists), food was awesome, service was skillful… and the environment made for a perfect evening.
    This place is worth every $ and made a lovely evening for my wife & I celebrating together.

    We went in for a wonder and found ourselves lost in games/puzzles and a tonne of fun. Highly recommended for all age groups and those who are competitive. Went to the Sydney one and found them equally amazing

    Games were really expensive. Minimum of $2 per game. We spent almost 200 in total. But the kids had fun. Food wasn’t so great would recommend to eat elsewhere before coming here.

    First time there and did 18 holes. I liked the second course more than the first. More tv theme and the artwork holes were cool.

    My friend and I decided to check out this new venue in the heart of the atrium, Federation Square. You can't miss it as there is a giant yeti in the window. The staff are super nice and attentive.

    I will be upfront in saying that place is really expensive and there are hidden costs. You would be best in buying one of the packages as it helps lessen the costs. We got the basic entry which itself was over $30 but included one cocktail. We then we decided to buy 2 digital photos after and they were an additional cost.

    Kudos to the safety measures taken to keep you safe and warm - boots, socks, waterproof/insulated poncho and gloves. The place to store your belongings isn't that safe - no lock but is right in front of the front desk, so I guess its safe...even when they are attending to you... there is surveillance inside and outside the iceberg. You are not allowed to take in your cameras or mobiles.

    Once inside the ice bar, it takes a while to regulate your breathing and acclimatise. There are ice sculptures inside, including a GOT chair and a gorilla. You can have your photos taken while holding hashtag signs and themed hats you can wear by pressing the buttons scattered around the room on the walls. They are run by a timer so you can see the flashing lights on the cameras facing you so you can choose a pose and be ready in time.

    The cocktails are presented in cool ice goblets and are not for the faint hearted as they are strong [yay]- loved my rum cocktail, though I cannot remember its name.

    Tips:
    If you can find a voucher for this place it will help with the cost.
    Go on a hot day, we did, was great.

    We had some time to spare in Melbourne and wanted to see what this Whisky bar had to offer and it did not disappoint. They had a large variety of overseas and local whisky.
    There is only one thing better than a great Whisky and that is chatting to the bar person about its history, tasting notes and background.
    Kimi who looked after us was a wealth of knowledge and provided us exception service. Cant wait to be back in Melbourne and try some new arrivals.

    The GoGo bar is always busy, located below Chin CHin. It is a very good meeting place, we were there on a Friday night after dinner and it was buzzing. It is located in the heart of Flinder's Lane which is a great area to visit when in Melbourne

    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.
