What’s not to love - it’s a cool bar on a cool strip, the lighting is always moody, the eclectic wine list is fantastic, staff know their stuff and they play vinyl. On the verge of Northcote institution status.
I have been coming here for many years. Great atmosphere, great staff and nice place to hang out in winter and summer. Keep up the good work guys.
This place is lovely, old school booths nice vinos and lovely staff very laid back vibe. Highly recommend for casual drinks, you can order pizzas from next door as well
Good lighting. Nice mood mostly. Very good old fashioned service here. Our international guest, a hard man, thought it was a great spot. Great Negroni here as well. The only thing we didn’t like was that they’d played some bewilderingly awful music for about 20 minutes and it was hard to hear. Apart from that, we had a great time.
One of my favourite little bars. Such a nice vibe, very relaxed and cosy. I love the simplicity of it. Staff are always very polite and helpful and open for a bit of a chat. The booze can be a little on the expensive side but it's worth it for some of my favourite imported craft beers I struggle to find elswhere
Amazing Espresso Martini's. A fantastic place to take a date when you want to sit close in dark nook and talk with perfect 80s turns playing in the background on vinyl.
Amazing ambience. It's right there but you could walk past this bar and not notice it! Cozy location, good bar for a date! Used to be a shoe store now converted to a bar.
Ambience is welcoming but not offensively cheery. The beer garden is well heated and the ashtray changeover happens once per 2 cigarettes by average by the staff, who seem everywhere, yet no where. The small change on a saucer and insistence on beer coasters is frighteningly unnecessary, but reflective of the hands off, yet attentive, service.
We popped in here for a couple of aperitifs prior to dinner at Estelle Bistro, a few doors down.
We lounged at the bar and I thoroughly enjoyed watching my magnificent Espresso martini being created. We followed with a round of g&ts.
Interior and ambience was great.
Waitresses were lovely.
We would return!
Great everything, except the mediocre service. Cmon guys... it's totally geared to be amazing, just you need to get on board ..............
I have been coming here somewhat frequently over the last 2-3 months - probably much to the exasperation of the staff, haha - and have been given nothing less than the VIP treatment by the team, all whilst they consistently maintain a perfect grasp of professionalism that many other bars seem to be sorely lacking. They'll greet me by name when I wander in, they'll already be pouring my favourite beverage before I sit down and they'll always make sure I've bloody well checked in. This isn't aimed at a select few of the staff either, but the staff entire. I've no idea where you managed to get this fantastic collective of employees from, but I'll be honest with you, I've worked in a lot of bar and restaurants over the years and seeing a team work this well together is both incredibly rare and glorious to behold. Thanks guys.
A small fairly hip bar with some not bad items on their menu.
Courtyard out the back which is pretty standard on high st.
Wines by the glass could be improved
Great atmosphere - ordered broccoli pizza which was one of the best pizzas I've ever had (I'm a meat eater).
Love Joe's. Cute booths, tunes on vinyl, yummy drinks. Hits the perfect mark of trendy and homey. You can order in pizza from next door. I always feel welcome.
Rock solid Melbourne bar. Good cocktails, super chill—what more could you want?
Love this place. It's an institution in the area and you're always guaranteed a great cocktail and an intro to some new tunes. Bar seats are good or if you're lucky you can snag a booth + you can order pizza from next door and bring it in. Amazing wallpaper in the loo too!
