But be warned once you're in there its very hard to peel yourself away from the place! I spent an hour sipping on pinots and playing connect 4 (they have some board games you can play) and would have happily stayed there all night! This place is verrrry popular so if you wanna come here with a group of mates make sure you call in and book. Shout out to their pizzas. My god - the prosciutto pizza is the bomb! These guys make brilliant pizzas. Theres also a vietnamese and a Japanese restaurant thats a few doors down that allows you took order and then they deliver to your table at the wine bar. Very cool!

But no siree, everybody is welcome here, the staff and owners make sure of that!! The ambience here is cruisy, it's dark but stylish; I prefer sitting outside behind the fenced area. With a plentiful wine selection and almost every other alcohol, the Cellardoor also frequently offer free wine sampling - for weeks on end!! A short stroll from the train station or to the junction for trams, next to the shopping centre and a stones throw from cafes, restaurants, hotels and bars, its a perfect place to start your evening, get tipsy for free or to just chillax and enjoy the atmosphere of Moonee Ponds in a secluded oasis after work.

The other thing was that the service was absolutely magnificent, I simply could not fault the guy that served me.

However, I've sort of grown on them, namely because they do end up ticking all of the boxes, at least where beer, and comfort, goes. Oh, they are also a sports bar, and they do actually show a pretty decent range of sports, and this one even has TV screens in the booths, which is pretty cool (and a little worrying as well). Still, the service is good, and even though it does come across as a little plastic, they still do have some charm.

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!

Another Hall st gem!…read more Great selection of drinks, from $5 Friday happy hour, to cocktails & top shelf whisky's Mango is the perfect amount of chilled tunes & chatty crowd, with a small dance floor to carve up listening to resident & guest DJ's later in the night if the mood so grabs you, or enjoy the outdoor seating & perhaps throw in a game of jenga. 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! PS- word is the espresso martini is the bomb (I don't drink coffee myself. Yes, we do exist)

With 3 areas to seat yourself, I've never had any issues finding room to relax here. If with friends I like to sneak upstairs for a comfy seat. In a more intimate situation or when I'm by myself I tend to enjoy front row seats and people watch. Typical of the area there is no real food served here. If you need some fine dining to go with a fine wine you'll be handed a book with local restaurants who will deliver to your table. And even bring an eftpos machine if needed. The staff here had reasonably honest and broad knowledge of wines and beers. The beer selection varies more often than the wine. For a wine bar there isn't a huge variety by the glass and some of the bottles are rather overpriced. Considering that there is fair competition within walking distance with other venues offering similar service. Still a great spot for post dinner drinks or two.

They regularly host some of the biggest comedic names in Oz, and well known Melbournians - in fact this week its Dave Callan and Jodie Hill, both on Melbourne radio. The front of the bar is more demure and relaxed, offering cheap beer and TEQUILA! Down the back is where the retro style really kicks in, awesome prints and knick knacks of old muso's and rock legends. Undercover side bit for smokers and large dance floor - it's the sort of place you can go for dinner and stay all night with your friends. Great for dancing, but also great for conversation because it's big enough and separate enough to enjoy both. The restaurant produces some top notch meals, and their $50 dinner and comedy show deal is just way waaaaayyy too good to pass up. Three course delicious meal and a great night of laughs, cheap drinks and dancing. What more could you want? P.S If you do choose the dinner and show three course deal, please please choose the stuffed chicken option - it's divine!!! Available for private functions and corporate events.

It turned out that this place was great, if only for the beer selection they had. Okay, it is a wine store, but they also know how to pander to beer snobs like me.
