Piccolo is closed - has been for awhile unfortunately. Used to spend hours there back in the day. Hells Kitchen isn't too bad - depends what they do to their lighting, and no smoking until 3pm.witty_pseudonym wrote:there was a really cute little bar called piccollo off fliders lane (1 or two lanes up from degraves towards swanston). great wine list, but not sure if it's still there. there's also hells kitchen above jungle juice in centre place...
Robot is good, Hidden bar across flinders lane from the Robot alley isn't too bad either. Tempo on degraves isn't too bad, haven't been for awhile though - if Luca is still running it, it can be quite interesting (he's one funny but rude dude )

Yeah - Misty was a cool place, haven't been in awhile either. Got some nice Citylights urban lightbox artwork in Hosier lane though ... whenever I walk down there, I keep meaning to go into Misty, but it's always closed.Ag3nT[]0raNg3 wrote:this is a cool joint. although the massive gay man is a bit scary, they do pour tripple shots as standard tho. makes for a cheap night.quick wrote:Misty - 3-5 Hosier Ln, Just off Flinders Between Swanston and Russell
havent been there in a while tho. may have changed.
As for Luca @ Tempo ... I spent far too much time there between 1999 - 2001, I reckon he's got some underground/mafia-like gambling going on

I'm still lovin St Jerome's (Caledonia Lane, almost directly behind Lounge, off Lonsdale St). Mostly for the long necks of Melbourne for 8 bucks and the fact that you can explore the warehouse out the back.
Makes for an interesting night when you get lost on the 4th storey of a dust covered staircase...

corker of a joint. i went there quite a bit when it just opened. the 'door' leading out to the back was just a hole in the wall at that stage.great_magnet wrote:I'm still lovin St Jerome's (Caledonia Lane, almost directly behind Lounge, off Lonsdale St).

best idea ever.DBoy wrote:any one heard of this "stock market" place up near 'pony'.
works like a stock market, if people are buying scotch the price of Gin goes down, etc. Sounds interesting. If we get enough people to buy at once maybe we get Rum down to nothing.
myers place up that end of town is a favourite too...

... and yeah, St. Jeromes is too packed these days - had a lot more going for it when it was more underground. But still, there are people that haven't heard about it and love it when they walk through it and into the outside decking area. What I really like about that place is it epitomises the whole Melbourne bar/cafe culture ... a cosey, urban hide-away hole with great music and chill vibe.

Its a shame its a rip off from a pub/bar in Geelong called Maxx's. I went there with friends on a thursday who go to Deakin at the Geelong Campus, they actually named the night 'Market Night' and someone's decided to rip it off and bring it to Melbourne, it is a great idea tho. Ended up getting $1.10 pots, $2.20 spirits, its all about patience. I did get pretty fucked up that night and spent under $20. BARGAIN!DBoy wrote:any one heard of this "stock market" place up near 'pony'.
