How we read reviews →Collingwood hole-in-the-wall with a roaring fireplace, huge courtyard and standout cocktails
Cosy, lo-fi and unpretentious. Moody lighting and a crackling fireplace inside, with a big protected courtyard out the back. Relaxed community vibe that is cool without being try-hard.
Indoor fireplace, large hidden courtyard, extensive wine list with tasting samples, happy hour, ambient lower-volume music, a fortnightly Wednesday comedy night (reported in 2023) and whole-venue private hire.
Has the feel of a classic New York dive bar transplanted to Melbourne, with a laid-back neighbourhood-bar spirit. Not heritage-driven.
Reviewers consistently call drinks excellent and reasonably priced, with cheap beers and a happy hour that make it strong value for a well-made cocktail bar.
