★★★★★“We had a magnificent milestone cerebration at Bar Christina yesterday. The team was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Their service made the experience feel extra special, the food was absolutely scrumptious, and the wine list is fantastic. Our guests were very impressed, especially those visiting for the first time. Highly recommend! 🍷✨”

★★★★★“"Hidden Gem" may be a bit of an over used phrase but in the case of Bar Christina it is entirely appropriate. Hidden in plain sight on High St Kew East, Bar Christina has a simple formula that works brilliantly. They focus on what they do best which is exceptional wine expertise and service. They have partnered with local providores to provide an eclectic selection of foods to complement their extensive wine selection if you are a little (or a lot) peckish. Josh, our host, makes everyone feel welcome and Che produces a very good cocktail if you want a bit more kick in your drinking experience. We came for a look-see a few weeks back and here we are again, we love the feel, the decor and the people and we highly recommend you give it a try whether it's a quick drink or a very relaxing graze through the food offerings, you won't be disappointed 😀”

★★★★★“The newest addition to the Kew wine scene is the lovely little Bar Christina, who has operated a small food store cafe around the corner. The bar has outdoor and cosy indoor seating with great lighting. The selection of wines are wonderful featuring a variety of styles from the many wonderful wineries around the great nation. Price wise the wine bar offers overall good value and the taste local food philosophy is great! Try out the new little gem and enjoy the upcoming wine scene in the local area…..even bring your dog when the weather improves and sit outside in the courtyard. Enjoy”

★★★★★“There are places you stumble into once and never quite leave. Bar Christina is that place for me. Tucked into the heart of Kew East like a quiet secret the neighbourhood has been keeping to itself, this little gem has slowly become my second home — and honestly, I'm not mad about it. Christina and Josh have created something rare here: a space that actually feels like somewhere. The kind of hospitality they offer isn't transactional — it's genuine, unhurried, and somehow makes you feel like you belong the moment you walk through the door. And then there's Dave. The man behind the bar is part scientist, part storyteller. His cocktails don't just taste good — they make you curious. You'll find yourself asking what's in this? not because something's off, but because something is wonderfully, unexpectedly right. If you haven't found Bar Christina yet, consider this your sign. Some of the best things in life are hidden in plain sight.”

★★★★★“Bar Christina is exactly what East Kew needed - a beautiful, welcoming space that feels intimate and familiar from the moment you walk in. It has been thoughtfully created by locus who genuinely care about community. I am so happy to see something like this in the neighbourhood (we really needed it!!) and happy to see Chrissy and her team continue to add value to this community. Bravo !!”
