Reviews

    ★★★★☆

    I went in for a quick pint on a hot day so didn't really engage with the full suite of options available. Definitely an aesthetic change from when this was the Market bar. Wood tones make what was an industrial gritty vibe into a warmer experience. More seating and an emphasis on coffee culture are the standout changes here. Good to see a house draught as well.

    Really nice spot in Richmond. Easy to miss from the outside but worth stopping in. Had a cocktail — super clean, well balanced, no fuss and of a high standard. Space is relaxed, good lighting, good music, doesn't feel try-hard. Coffee x cocktail hybrid bar idea actually makes sense here. Will be back.

    A cool bar on Victoria St serving $10 craft beer pints during happy hour. Now that's something to cheer about, lol. I've been here a few times now, and the service and the beers have always been good

    I have liked this bar since it had opened . They have good beer selection and the espresso martinis are good as well . Prices are reasonable . The only complaint I have is at times the music can be very loud for some people.The staff are friendly. But out off all the staff members he is the most friedly 😄
