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.

They will still charge you a 15% PH fee on top of regular prices + a processing fee for taping your card. Disappointed. Either don't advertise it or honour it, as we know we pay extra on public holidays as venues money grab with fees rather than costing correctly.

We stumbled into the Cellar Door on election day for brekky. Nice venue in the posh restaurant area…read moreof Eastland Shopping Centre. This is not the kind of restaurant you go to if you want bacon and eggs on toast. All menu items are upmarket with a bit of a hipster, gourmet twist that's become commonplace in Melbourne and seem to be spreading to the eastern suburbs, not that that's a bad thing. The salt came in a little dipping tray with no spoons, so you had to use your fingers to add some to your food. Not sure how sanitary that is, but I guess... it's salt? The only thing off putting about that is if there were already finger depressions in the salt. The coffee was ok. You can request Gluten Free bread. I ordered the poached eggs, avocado, toast & lemon. Literally, half an avocado came with my dish, cut into slices. Both poached eggs fit on one piece of enormous GF toast slice, so I mashed my avocado up, pinched in some salt and made my own guacamole to put on the other slice of toast. I had to order bacon on the side. Two slices of overcooked bacon for $4 seemed a bit steep. Would have been nice if the poached eggs had the option to come with a house made hollandaise or something. Maybe some hot sauce? The house whipped butter was good though. Hubby wanted scrambled, but there were no options, but they made it for him anyway, which was nice. I had to google what some of the menu items were, but I've had worse.

Located in a renovated cottage in the heart of The Basin, The Acorn on Forest is a prime example of…read moreThe Basin's growing popularity as a little hill's hideaway. With the suburb reporting recent booms in property value, and the freeway only 10 minutes away, The Basin has grown from a small village on the way to the more touristy area of the hills to a trendy little town of its own . The Acorn of Forest has more of a 'Wine Bar" feel to it than it's neighbouring 'Good old-fashioned pub' the Oak Tree. With a focus on quality dining and weekend breakfasts, you could say it's the 'bouquet' to the Oak Trees 'bucket'. The menu features dishes such as Quail, Veal and Kangaroo and while you can expect to pay a little more for your meal than at other nearby pubs, the Acorn is all about Quality over affordability. Popular with functions and parties, The Acorn also hosts live music on weekends, usually from a rotating roster of local favourites.

They did have a nice beer garden, and some rather friendly staff as well. However, the place itself really didn't do much for me, particularly with the range of beers available, and the prices that they were charging. There really wasn't all that much of a choice, and in the end it is probably a good thing that I don't actually live in Ringwood.
