I probably shouldn't judge this place by the views, even though I did actually quite like them…read more Well, this place is a cocktail bar, but the thing is that they do more than just cocktails, particularly where I am concerned since I do prefer beers, and they certainly were able to help me out in that regards, since they did have a rather nice selection as well. I actually found this place to be rather laid back and relaxing, especially the back area, and the service was quite nice as well. As for the views, well, it was on the railway line, but then again, that is something that I actually do rather like.

I organised a cocktail class for my girlfriends hens party at Maeve Fox and was really blown away…read moreby the quality of the event. Our group had such an amazing time. We got to jump in the bar and learn to make yummy cocktails. The gentleman that ran the course was very passionate about bartending and incredibly knowledgable - but didn't take himself too serious and still able to have a laugh with the group! The food included in the course was yummy but I would recommend you order a few additional platters if your friends like to drink as much as mine! If you are looking for something different for a hens party or even a work function. Maeve Fox is well worth looking in to.

The Crom is a venue located on the groundfloor of Pan International's office. It usually runs…read morehiphop events for under 18s in the Collingwood area, but recently it's opened its doors to other groups who would like to hire and use the space. It's a huge highly customisable warehouse space. There's a lot of pretty fantastic graffiti on the walls, but this can be covered up if it doesn't suit what you're doing. The staff are incredibly accommodating. When I booked for an event my organisation were running, they couldn't have been more helpful. We were allowed to come in and brainstorm how we were going to set up and pack up, we were allowed to use their equipment, we were even allowed to move every wall around to suit us. It is fantastic. There are a few downsides: noise restrictions after 10pm mean that whatever event you're having has to either end early or be very quiet. Not a problem for my group, but as soon as any kind of amplified band is thrown into the mix there'll be an issue with the neighbours. The impression I got from the staff is that those neighbours are quite the complaining sort.

A quick way to see the touristy places in Melbourne. We did the 1 hour garden cruise, which goes up…read moreto the botanical gardens. There is an option of doing the Docklands 1 hour or even both cruises for 2.5 hours (for only $6 more!). The boat is not air conditioned, so it can be very stuffy inside, but if there's a breeze then its not so bad. I'm sure there are nicer river cruise boats, but it was still fun.

I came here for a work event and was impressed by the event space and staff. The large room was…read morelaid out well, attention paid to all details. The ambiance was really on point with natural lighting from the large glass walls overlooking the river. We had drink service the entire day with a well stocked bar for espresso, juices, soft drinks, beer and wine. There was always staff available to serve. Food was equally impressive with morning and afternoon tea along with lunch served impeccably. Gluten free options were well labeled and food was tasty! Clearly they are doing many things right. I would recommend this venue for a work or personal function as it's convenient yet feels tucked away and elegant.
