★★★★★“My favourite bar in the whole of Melbourne! The owner is absolutely fabulous, so welcoming and attentive. They’ve got endless board games and even Mario Kart. 10/10 would recommend, definitely a must go to!”

★☆☆☆☆“This was the worst experience I’ve had on Chapel. My friends and I were bar hopping (mind you we had only been to once place so far so we were not drunk or disorderly) and the owner questioned us about where we had come from and what we were doing for a good amount of time before we were let in. Mind you he wasn’t being friendly, felt like we were being interrogated. We came in and sat down, then got up to use the bathroom. He proceeded to tell us we needed to order a drink before we were allowed to use the bathroom. I was appalled at the way we were being treated, so I walked out in disgust as the owner just made us feel absolutely unwelcome and like we were doing something wrong. Fast forward a week later, I came back with another group of friends who wanted to buy a drink here, I was hesitant due to my previous experience the week before. He approached us at the door, asked us what we were doing, when one of my friends told him we were bar hopping he told us he was at capacity. Mind you there were probably about 5 customers inside and at least 3 staff behind the bar. Highly recommend avoiding this bar because the owner put a huge dampener on both nights. I have never been made to feel so unwelcome at a bar!”

★★★★★“My friends and I had a great girls night having a drink and playing board games. We loved the idea of having games to play and it was such a nice atmosphere. The owner was lovely and looked after us so well, even making sure we got into our uber safely. We could tell how much he cares about this place and will highly recommend anyone going out in Melbourne to visit.”
