Incredible cocktails with creative details and care taken in their creation. Difficult to find, around the back, down an alleyway, up a staircase, in a small exclusive space with about 16 seats. Loved watching the drinks being made.

What cocktail dreams are made of: an intimate space, friendly bartenders and fellow patrons, an outstanding crafted cocktail that is all wrapped up in a wonderful warm ambiance environment. I originally was planning a quick stop here and was met with such hospitality that I stayed for a few more cocktails. The staff couldn’t have been more kind and welcoming. I almost felt like I was drinking in a friends hidden attic. Excited to come back.

Intimate cocktail bar with incredibly friendly staff and delicious drinks. This bar only sits about 10 people and when visiting we were greeted by the owner. The insides are really classy and the staff were well dressed and talkative. Their knowledge of drink making was extremely impressive and when asking for recommendations we were given so many different options based off a few questions they asked. Although their drink menu is complete they also give you the option to make off the menu items if requested. If you go during a busy time be prepared to be added to a waiting list where you are texted when it is your turn to enter the bar and have 30 minutes to make your booking. Highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.

A hidden entrance (entry via a lane or through beermash) lies a not-so-secret bar (listed as one of the top 50 bars in the world). The space is pretty cosy, believe it’s limited to 16 seats at a time with no reservation policy so recommend to go there early.Drinks menu is tight but leave it to the bartender to give their recommendations. You are in good hands.

This is also a great cocktail bar in Melbourne. The location is outside CBD, which is not as great, and it might be a bit difficult to find, as it is on the second floor of a building, with a beer bar at the bottom. But when you get in, it is worth it. The drinks are awesome, and reasonably priced, and if you want to bring a date there, it is definitely a bowchickawowow vibe.

Great vibe and amazing service. I think the owner/bar manager was the one to serve us and he was very attentive. The bar tenders can make you drinks off the menu if nothing is jumping out at you. One of those places you’re happy to pay the cocktail price-tag! Highly recommend making a visit. The venue is found by walking through Beermash and up the stairs at the back.

Very cosy, private and unique atmosphere. Loved it! Tried two different cocktails with a friend, both were with a very unique tastes, spicy, aromatic and fresh. The menu is short and simple, goes well with the environment, small and classy. Our host was a friendly man thanks to him, we felt as if we are invited to his gathering rather than visiting his business! Will go back to try other cocktails.

Came here for drinks before dinner and we had to come back again afterwards to finish the night. Some of the best, tasty and well balanced drinks I have ever had!The cocktails were amazing and exactly what you ask for and expect. Service by bartenders was amazing, there was great banter and conversation the entire night. They remember who you are and are super attentive. I didn't get their names, but both the girls and 2 guys working tonight were all amazing. Special mention to the guy in the white glasses, I don't know what all the other reviews are talking about when they say he was rude, me and my partner found him to be funny, pleasant and charismatic, with good banter. All the bartenders listen and can help with specific requests as well. We are definitely coming back again!
