I'm rather picky with bars because it's trying to find a balance of 1- local 2- affordable 3-not filled with CUB beers 4- a decent range and 5- a good atmosphere. I just moved into Preston and am so glad this gem exists. It's already one of my favourite joints!
My local when we decided for a drink, great choice of spirits, friendly staff. A typical Melbourne atmosphere, that's where I take all my visitors from Europe, they love it too.
Wheel chair accessible indoors and out. Accessible toilet.
Limited space so multiple chairs may not always work when it's busy.
Accommodating staff. Low tables so trays or wheelchair tables may be a better option.
This bar doesn't serve food but the burger joint next door provides take away food to here and that place is also accessible.
Wonderful bar with relaxed and friendly vibes. Bar staff take their time with you and are down for a chat. Great selection of drinks on offer and you're able to take outside food. Comfy couches and a cosy atmosphere, this is a great place to meet up with mates for a quiet drink or two.
Edit: my gosh i typed no boy policy when i originally posted this not sure how my phone interperated no bullshit to no boy or maybe it was my fat fingers and lack of reviewing what i wrote as i was suppose to type no bullshit policy . Apologies racoon ! Great atmosphere the sign on the bar says no dick head policy which is an automatic win .. Great ambience fantastic bar staff and a supporter of keeping penalty rates for their staff. I wish i lived closer so this place could me my local .
Wonderful, lively ambience! Love how they allow you to bring food from outside to munch on while having drinks at this bar. Will be frequenting this place in the near future. Thumbs up Raccoon Club at Preston!
If you're after bumpity-bump 'raise your hands in dah air' type of music of atmosphere, this isn't the place for you - or us. The Raccoon Club is a really chillaxed 'nothing fancy' space, exposed ceiling, smooshed with a variety of seating, pool table and a few board games - topped off with patrons shooting passed to grab their burgers from the neighboring Chew Burger (Raccoon doesn't serve food). Beer, wine and Jinga? Oh! Don't mind if we do! Totally our speed and will happily venture back there again!
Spend a wonderful afternoon at Raccoon, my first time there, Super Friendly and colorful staff, The Lemon lime and bitters was served with aplomb and grace...great atmosphere and comfy spaces...I was super nervous and a little out of my element but the cosy vibe was really pleasant and I felt at home... totally recommend Raccoon Club..
Great local bar. This place has a relaxed, easy going and welcoming vibe. The beers on tap are always good local brews and are often changing, local take away is available to order from inside, there's a pool table out back and boardgames, books and jenga on offer for some extra fun. Raccoon attracts a large crowd some nights and a wide variety of people, and is great for a beer or 2 and some laughs with mates.
Love the raccoon club, especially on cold winter afternoons, always warm inside and they serve great winter drinks! Having chew to order from next food is always a plus!
