Richmond - though famous for hipsters and IT-crowd, lacks decent pubs/bars that serve proper (not mass-produced) brews. Everyone these days serve that overrated Furphy - not because that is what everyone wants to drink; but because it is owned/marketed by a big conglomerate that acquired 50% of "craft" beer makers in last few years. Not at Holliava; this place offers Four Pines Pale Ale & Kolsch, Goose Island IPA and Kaiju. Happy hours are on Tue/Wed/Thu (selected taps) from 5-8pm and 4-7pm on Fridays (all taps).
No-frills venue with nice courtyard; one small grievance though - the courtyard is pretty much fully covered and people were allowed to smoke, which'll make non-smokers super uncomfortable (and probably will fast track the lifeline of smokers).
No kitchen - no problem because Holliava encourages you to order via UberEats, which means you could order food of your choice without having to put up with the expensive and tasteless food some surrounding watering holes have on offer.
Good place to go for drink. Nice decor and you can order pizza from across the street and have it delivered which is pretty helpful if you get a bit peckish!
BYO Food!!!. Amazing little bar. nice drinks and a few well knowledge staff members.
I found there range of spirits and beers quiet basic, but very nice cocktails.
And the BYO food. Best idea ever. with a pizza place, Thai and dish and chips next door.
Have had a few of the best nights out at holliava. Perfect for after work drinks!!
