Willows and Wine
The greatest combo of the century, wine, cheese, and a good book! And the board games are a bonus. The small cheese boards are perfect for sharing between the two. Worst case, if things go south on your date, you still got a good read to take home.
Bard’s Apothecary
Hop into the oldest laneway bar in Melbourne, a 90s style designed by six degrees. An absolute treasure that hosts some intimate performances of theatre, music, and comedy. This friendly inner-city bar is tucked away in a Melbourne laneway you cannot miss.
Trinket
Leave behind the world and step into living fantasy on the other side, just like in Narnia, enter into the wardrobe and travel to the other side of the world that offers fabulous comforting classic food to innovative cocktails. Oh, trust me once you are in here, you’d never wanna leave!
Park Street Pasta & Wine
dine outside a beautiful old Town Hall a 19th century building. Get hold of one of the best places for in-house pasta. Try them in the cozy dining room, or pull up at the al fresco terrace on perfectly warm Melbourne days.
Robot bar
A piece of Japanese anime and Oktaku in a Melbourne alleyway. This Japanese-inspired bar projects anime from the ceiling.
Her, Melbourne
be immersed in the premier sound of the program selector playing from the curated collection in the Music Room, and find yourself with an aperitif under the constellations on Her Rooftop.
Ferdydurke
A cozy lane bar that offers cocktails, DJs, art, and special events in a unique loft with a balcony view. The place is named after the 1937 novel Ferdydurke by Witold Gombrowicz.
Berlin Bar
A reminiscent of the city of Berlin during the cold war era when the cities were split into two countries by an iron wall; communist East Germany on one side, and West Germany; on the capitalist.
So, the Berlin Bar is split into two rooms; the “bunker” on the Soviet side; dark and rudimentary. The democratic side of it; the posh and lavish “Salon”
The LuWoW
This tropical tiki bar, a narrow staircase leads into a kitschy neon-colored wonderland, floral canopies, and some retro sculptures. Sip a voodoo volcano all night and you’d definitely have a great night with your date.
So, what’s your next date spot? Don’t forget to share away….
