Review Above Board - Fitzroy

Intimate, private and VIP feel. The cocktails were incredible, so much depth to them in a short cocktail. Booze menu which frankly alleviates any possibility of trying to recreate at home…. Ah well, may just have to come again. The fella’s new their stuff, and it’s always great to witness the creations in motion.

Boyfriend was keen to try this place and as someone who doesn’t drink, I’m surprised I found two drinks that I liked here. Enough that I was willing to put up with Asian flush 😂 The guys were also super friendly and cheerful - they made conversation effortlessly and checked in with how I liked the taste of the drinks as well. The place was super sleek and the attention to detail was superb 👌🏼

What an amazing spot! Honestly a bar like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Massive shout out to the team here for looking after us so well! Can’t wait to travel back to Melbourne and visit you again!

Cannot recommend this bar highly enough. The cocktail list was exceptional and out performed only by the service provided by the bar staff, Jessie and Andy. Probably the best cocktail bar experience I have had not just in Melbourne but In the country. Keep up the amazing work boys!

Crazy cool bar that is impossible to find, just like us Melbournians like it. Only cocktails so if you want a beer or wine this isn’t your place. Cocktails are suitable great and the banter pretty top notch too.

Amazing experience! The devil is in the details and, amazing menu aside, the care and attention to detail comes through in the branded ice and immaculate lemon twists. Hayden and Taylor were both professional, skilled and had excellent banter. There's a reliable stable of classic cocktails and amazing originals blending flavours like banana miso liquour and oloroso sherry. Hayden's passion for cocktails is evident and the vibe is high end but unpretentious, feeling at times like you are watching one of the best bartenders you know get creative and mix drinks for the other bar staff at the end of a night and you've somehow scored an invite. Whether you go for a fancy date night, catching up with friends or just pop in for one of the best negronis you've had in years, you wont be disappointed. Edit: edited for spelling and grammar

Still one of the best creative bars on this side of town. Maybe not quite as intimate as last time I was here, but still well worth the flight of stairs to the door. It can get busy (and can't hold a lot of patrons), so expect tou might have a bit of a wait if it's busy.....but it's worth it.

Best bar in the world!!! Hands down :) crazy, interesting, impeccably delicious drinks, staff are world class without a hint of cocktail pretentiousness :) super skilled, super lovely, just outstanding :) I’m in love!!! Thank you for being you, Above Board :)
