philip-box  said about 2 years ago  or at  6:21PM on Sunday, May 15 2011 in chat

hey, l know it has probs been posted but am having some dudes from USA over in about a week and want to go to some unusual or even just good bars in the CBD. l remember some post here about one bar that had trees? inside, Their dudette wives will be wanting to go to places like Gin Palace etc.
any help would be appreciated.

Melbourne Bar & Bistro is the only place I'll set foot in in the CBD.


philip-box  said about 2 years ago:

yep, that's on the list.


JRB  said about 2 years ago:

I usually impress visitors by going to the Paris Cat. It's got the ''hidden gem down a dark alley'' vibe that tourists seem to love and for some reason people who don't like jazz always want to go to jazz clubs when they visit foreign cities. Makes them feel all sophisticated or something.

maybe new gold mountain as well?


philip-box  said about 2 years ago:

thanks JRB, Paris Cat on list with Manchester Lane and Bennets.
really need some hipster bars - hidden gems in CBD tho.

99 problems in collingwood ;P

Hell's Kitchen and that Hipster bar Kelele goes?


JRB  said about 2 years ago:

Manchester Lane ain't open no more. Bennetts is best during the week and watch it 'cause it's a very ''sit down and appreciate this very serious music'' type venue.

Hidden bars? Try the Blue Diamond. Awful crowd but great views from the 15th floor. Go on a Sunday when the Grand Wazoo are playing.

I go to 99 problems, thats my fave bar :)


kelele  said about 2 years ago:

not in cbd though.

For a minute I was worried there was a bar I didn't know about in the city, then I remembered it's above or close to Double Happiness. Phew, crisis averted.


kelele  said about 2 years ago:

Melbourne Bar and Bistro: So much fried lard to choose from at the buffet, so little time.


tugboat  said about 2 years ago:

Kelele..there is one at Meyer pl or something that u go to.


usrename  said about 2 years ago:

take them to The Joint first, then pretty much anywhere will seem cool...


kelele  said about 2 years ago:

I go to Meyers Place........I do enjoy it, the boys that work there are lovely and really really goddamn cute.

Oh that new one on the island in the middle of the yarra is a pretty cool location . Name escapes me. Small drink selection though.


anonymous  said about 2 years ago:

ponyfish island.


kelele  said about 2 years ago:

I recommend Workshop as well. Dont wear a suit though, they won't let you in.

Chez Regine
So ridiculously cheap for what they have, but opening times and days is difficult, so I would suggest contacting them for operating hours.

La Vita Buona
Expensive these days, but still worth it in the warmer months.

RAOB GAB Buffalo Club
Find it if you can, totalz hipstersz place if you can find it from my cryptic link. I'll say no more about it!

Cabinet
It's ok, at least you can get Moretti there.

Lily Blacks
Is ok, if you can put up with a bit of alcho-nerd shit and not being able to get what you exactly want. (Ramazzotti instead of Amaro Lucano, for example).

Most of the other suggestions up-post are fine as well, but it depends what style you want, what piss you want, and what hours you want.

More suggestions if those pique your interest.

l could be way of base but l recall Heb posting something about a great woody-type bar he went too when in Melbs. Real Boyz stuff. can't find post tho.


philip-box  said about 2 years ago:

sunnyboyz it could be New Guernica!


Sunnyboyz  said about 2 years ago:

Yep, it's got a bunch of jungle type decorations inside. And I'm sure some kind of indoor bridge thing, I usually go there when well inebriated. There's a thread about it I think.


philip-box  said about 2 years ago:

There's a thread about it I think.

where? under what disguise?



philip-box  said about 2 years ago:

shit! ok ok.


kelele  said about 2 years ago:

I wouold call new guernica a nightclub more than a bar. It really doesnt have a nice chill bar vibe, like all the other venues mentioned here.


philip-box  said about 2 years ago:

hey people thanks for suggestions...some bars also where you can eat would be a change too.

bxck........dxr keep 'em coming.


untold/animals  said about 2 years ago:

Rice Queen? Or is that more a restaurant? Not CBD either, I guess. Society? (LOL)... Is Phoenix still there? They have a bit of food. Yak?

Robot is still really good, and now you can get longies of Orion for 12 bucks.

Nihonshu (part of Izakaya Chuji) is pretty good for shochu and umeshu and Japanese single malts, but pretty expensive.

Murmur used to be good outside of suit-hours, but haven't been there for a couple years


iguessso  said about 2 years ago:
