Classy yet it doesn't even appear they are trying. Open from Wednesday through Sunday, each night the Mango Bar comes alive with different sounds and genres of music. They've certainly got their pulse on the hottest up and coming local acts, as well as playing host to a range of renowned international DJ's. Each night there's something diff; electro funk, deep house, jazz and blues - there's something for everyone at Mango. The drinks menu deserves a rave as well. Spirits, beer and wine, as well as a sensational selection of martini's, cocktails and the signature Mango Daiquiri. It's like an oasis away from home. Somewhere you feel totally comfortable, totally chilled out and completed entertained by the music and live acts. There. The secrets out. Now go and enjoy!

BYO food (pretzels / crisps / nuts onsite for sale), and drop in for a quiet one, or settle in for an awesome night with the staff, old friends & new!

Why is the Old Bar so damn popular? Because it's dingy, the staff are awesome and there is a feeling of being warped to simpler times when you are there. I have noticed that myself and others confuse The Old Bar and Bar Open, potentially because they are reasonably close to each other and have similar sounding names. Besides that, both have a chilled out atmosphere, graffiti art, toilet poetry and just all very reminiscent of a grunge bar in Seattle circa 1996. So much fun! Whether you are a North sider, a North West sider, Westie, Southerner, South Easter, a local or just visiting, you are bound to find some fresh jive at Old Bar.

There is absolutely no nonsense about the place - they show bands, they serve beer, that's it. Over the years the calibre of acts they put on here has fluctuated greatly. Nowadays it seems a fairly rock intensive, alt.country-type vibe about the joint and it really fits with the record-cover and band-poster decor of the place. You could spend a great deal of time, beer in hand, perusing the walls of this bar, just imagining the past bills they've put together - a veritable who's who of the local and touring rock scene. The best thing about Old Bar is the non-sceney nature of the surrounds and staff. Sure, it's a bit of a shithole, but the staff take pride in the fact that they're serving an important function in the community. Plus, the dude who owns the joint is in a kick-arse band of his own. This is a serious rock pub, in a serious rock city, and whatever else can be said about Old Bar is pretty much beside the point.

Just off the main street in Croydon, Bazoo Bar is Croydon's indoor/outdoor bar and lounge…read more A good place to catch up for a drink, or to blow off steam on the weekend, Bazoo has a great outdoor deck area looking out onto the greener areas of Croydon. Perfect for a weekend arvo beer in the sun. I've been here a couple of times and was surprised by the prices they charged for a bottle of beer. Without tap beer on offer, you're stuck for choice, and end up having to fork out more than necessary for a stubby. Hosting live music most nights of the week, usually of the acoustic persuasion, Bazoo caters for those in the area who aren't keen on drinking at the many licensed hotel/gaming megaplexes.

There was a buzz around Monty that a wine bar was about to open. Monty would not be sleepy hollow…read moreanymore!! Sure enough it came to pass the soft opening and the excitement was palatable. Through the summer months a healthy walk, a few grapes & hops and a healthy walk home. A more mature clientele with warm, comfortable surroundings. Naturally, as we consumed the ales, we had an opportunity to "gripe and hope" for a better outcome the next day. The front of shop opens onto the wide payments outside. The sound of local artists on the weekends and the atmosphere fits into the general ambience of "Monty" (Montmorency), friendly and always likely to meet a friend in the street only now in a wine bar!! Will observe with interest and enjoy the drinks as the wine bar evolves and matures. Many stories are being told of this "young" wine bar and there will be many more to come..... The wine bar supports the ability to consume food purchased from the local street takeaways which supports the traders further adding to the local community bonds. A must visit experience.

Once upon a time Were St in little old Monty was just filled with hairdressers, chemists, and…read morebutchers shops. Bit by bit that changed to what is essentially now a long line of cafes. The fact that there is also now a wine bar there, and a good wine bar at that, confounds the teenage me that grew up around the corner but delights the old me that still drops past the old neighbourhood from time to time. The wine by the glass options are plentiful and well chosen - no duds as far as we experienced so far. There's also a great selection of tap and bottle beers with some decent specials, even on the weekends. ($5 for Hawthorn bottle beers when we were there). There's a couple of small areas for improvement - the live music on a Sunday arvo was a nice touch but was way too loud and forced those wanting to converse outside to the front tables or small courtyard out back. That courtyard, quaint and cute as it was, had heaters blasting a little too strongly for our tastes - we had to strategically position ourselves out of the heat rays to remain non-charred. There's two TVs that were playing AFL when we were there, but the locals tell us that they switch those away from sport if it looks like they're getting a pub kind of crowd in. Fair enough. The crowd was an older one, our party of three in our thirties felt like the babies there, but the vibe was good and we'll likely be back each time we re-visit the old stomping ground.

Yet, in a way this bar really does have a lot of charm about it, as well as some great beers as well. In a way it was the rooftop that I really liked, but then again you can't go past a good rooftop bar, and there are some pretty good ones around as well. Yeah, this is one of those great bars that you can spend some time at on a nice summers evening, noting that it doesn't open until about 5:00 pm. Yeah, this bar was pretty awesome.

We were looking for a bar in Ormond for a pre-dinner drink and this seemed to be the only place…read more Right on the train line, it's styled a bit like a trashy rock bar (that's not an insult) and is a very relaxed, chilled out place. When we walked in there was a couple of folk in the main bar area, and to be honest, I wasn't entirely sure the place was even open. Thankfully it was, we got a couple of drinks as well as some Twisties (yay) and the bar guy even topped up my cider when we were paying for our drinks after I'd had a sip which I thought was super nice. We headed upstairs to the rooftop beer garden which again, had that kind of run-down vibe that might be offputting but I really like, and chilled out for an hour or so. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I really liked this bar. The bar guy says the food is really good too but we already had plans to go to Jimmy Grants nearby so maybe another time.
