A gorgeous speakeasy , with an awe-inspiring collection of drinks. The cocktails were fantastic (and trust me, I tried quite a few!), the food was excellent and the atmosphere was wonderful. Love it.

Giuseppe Spina

Amazing venue with an unassuming entry door. You might miss the brown door your first time but once you're in your hit with great service, the perfect level of low light and fantastic drinks. Must.

Allison Kaminski

Cool speakeasy right in the CBD. Look for the brown door , you might pass it up! Cocktails are fantastic and interesting. Try the one with fairy floss and another one served out of Bulls horn

Jamie F

Crazy good speakeasy which is the best in Melbourne. Every drink was spot on! Tried the gin&tonic, zapaca blazer , aviator , 'coffee with whisky and vanilla cream with nitrogen poured over'. ????

Bluey HK

This place is a gem in the Melbourne cocktail scene. Great staff . Great drinks. A must visit. You'll be back.

Athena Maria Kalamaras

The most uplifting environment and the best cocktails I've ever had. It's my go to when I'm in a bad mood, instant childlike wonder & you can't go wrong w anything on the menu. Must try!

Christine of Hexotica

Dita Von Teese would love this place--it's Parisian-styled, elegant and intimate with a cocktail menu categorized by eras starting with the 1920's. The Espresso Zabaglione is a serving spectacle!

Carmen Sutter

Grab a seat at the bar and watch the bartenders work beautiful magic. Classic cocktails , inventive presentation (liquid nitrogen on tap , mugs on fire, vintage barware). Truly special place. Must visit

C Hsieh

My wife & I got the Black Lantern (presented in pic) & Hakka San, & the goat cheese honey toast . Busy place but a really remarkable wonderful evening in a wonderful place. Seating is chic & generous.

Leo C.

Easily one of the best bars I’ve been in the world. Real cozy , very tasty food, and out of this world cocktails as well as a HUGE repository of whisky . Highly recommended!!

Josef Herbert

Amazing, loved this place. The signature cocktail is a vanilla mousse topped esspresso (can't remember the name) with liquid nitrogen poured on top at your table

Olly

Melbourne’s best cocktails , each cocktail is meticulously crafted and the selection of whiskey is pretty good. Zabione, Rob Roy, Watermelon Bomba just to name a few, all outstanding.

Kit&kafoodle

Amazing cocktails and food menu. Gets very busy and loud so try book a table in advance.

Time Out Melbourne

For wiz-bang drink tomfoolery, ask for a smoky Negroni . Gin , Campari , vermouth and hickory smoke are all sealed in a beaker, and stirred by a magnetic bar which churns the liquid by magic. Read more

Amazing cocktail bar !! Huge menu of assorted craft drinks. These guys take their job seriously.

James Ferguson

Fantastic boutique cocktail bar . Huge menu and plenty for everyone. Love it.

Markella Nicolaou

Ok tried a lot today ! It merits the excellent comments ! A job well done ! Must visit when you're in Melbourne! Bravo!

Jez Taylor

The Staff are wonderful! Take your time with reading the menu or go the easier option and get the Staff to recommend for you. What a delight.

Alex F

Pricey but worth every penny. Have fun and order something that seems like an odd combination - it will be delicious!

Natasha Savic

Very "vintagy" place. Great selection of cocktails ! It's hidden in one of Melbournes side lanes which makes it more authentic .

Rhys Hunt

Best cocktails I've had in a long time. Definitely worth a detour...

Nessa Nguyen

The entrance is an unmarked door next to the stairs by Adina’s parking . The espresso and yuzu mule are delicious.

Jared Rita

Great cocktails ! Order the espresso martini and enjoy the show!! Wish they had one of these places in Boston!!

Dan Gill

"EDV does serious cocktail making without being stingy on the fun, so whatever you want, from a beer to a liquid-nitrogen chilled martini , they’ve got you covered." via Timeout Melbourne

James Ridenour

Only place in Melbourne with liquid nitrogen on tap ensuring an ice cold. Ginger beer is another feature. My pick for best bar in Melbourne. No sign so look for a timber door with a brass handle.

Chris Messina

A Jazz speakeasy . They have one in Sydney too, which I've heard is incredible, so if you're there check it out perhaps.

Mimi Taher

One of my favourite place in Melbourne ???? Great atmosphere and super friendly staff

Jessie Lee

Hidden gem on flinders lane. The cocktails here amazing. Many of the house specialities worth a try

PN JH

Stefan Schrdr

Julie Levodyanskaya

Great unique cocktails , very cozy place!

Robert Tolar Haining

delightful drinks, but they take themselves a bit too seriously, in my opinion. lots of cocktail theatrics on the scene.

Charles Sterner

Absolutely everything, but make sure you try the Smokey Rob Roy and the roasted octopus .

Beatrice Ting

Go for the aviator . If you like gin :) Also house the best rum in the world.

Matt Muilenburg

Let Greg and Tasha take care of you. This is a classic cocktail bar with an artistic spin on the drinks.
