Foo Bar

I've been in Melbourne for 3 months. This place has the friendliest patrons, allows smoking indoors, and plays soft-house music. A fully stocked bar, plenty of comfy seats, and decently priced drinks.

This place has an older vibe 30s-40s. It is very lounge-y and isn't overly loud. Bartenders are quick with drinks and they are strong. This is definitely my favorite place in all of downtown Melbourne.

Foo-tastic!

It is pretty. Nicely appointed with comfortable bar stools. First trip we were the only couple in there and had nice service from a warm and appropriately chatty bartender. He suggested interesting rums when we asked about one he didn't have. I also tasted a great Pinot Noir I still seek out at the store.

Next trip I'm pretty sure we were bothering them when we asked (we had to ask) to order drinks. Same thing the third time.

It is overpriced for the area and does think a lot of itself.  We drink elsewhere now unless we notice the place is relatively empty and the bartender looks friendly.

My husband and I enjoyed this spot on many of our date nights. While small, it is comfortable and very trendy for it's location. It reminds me of a chic bar in Soho (NYC) where you'll find your favorite celebrity at their coolest. There's  an outside patio, but no room for live entertainment or dancing. Simply a hip spot with an air of romanticism and great art on it's walls. There is a full bar, and comfortable seating along the wall. The specialty cocktails are a must.
