The Everleigh on Postcard

"The old-world décor—Chesterfields, crystals chandeliers, bentwood chairs around sturdy tables—and low lighting create The Everleigh's elegant 1920s-style ambience in Fitzroy. Sit at the bar if you want to watch the bartenders in action, or slide into a booth in the second room for a more intimate setting. The bar was updated in the 2017 to more easily handle slightly larger groups, but everyone keeps it nice. You can have whatever you like; just tell the staff the mood you’re in and they’ll create something for you. All the classic bases—fizzes, sours, Old Fashioneds, and Sazeracs—are covered, but if you'd like something a bit different, try the Debutant, which combines gin, pomegranate, lime, and orange bitters in a coupe. There’s a small selection of snacks—duck and pistachio terrine, Ortiz sardines, triple cream brie—but you’re not eating dinner here." - Carrie Hutchinson

Atmosphere 8.5/10 Very stylish and classy cocktail bar with live Jazz music. Nice bar area and cool back bar Drinks 6/10 Recommendation: - Menu is very limited, but has bartender’s choice. My bartenders choice did not turn out well though. The other cocktail Bebbo was also just ok. No coasters, no special presentation Service 6.5/10 Water served immediately. Prices are about average for melbourne

Why can't I rate more than 5? This is my favourite cocktail bar in Melbourne - and I've been to several! The staff was always incredibly kind, the music (seems like they have live Jazz on Sundays) is beautiful, the atmosphere is so elegant and cozy at the same time. Not to mention the cocktails. All were great, and the time I had chatting with other guests over them was incredibly fun. Harry, the bartender, made me a caipirinha better than 99% of the ones I had in Brazil. Harry, Zayn and Imi (hope I'm spelling it right) were the best bar people I met in Melbourne. I simply had the best night ever in the city because of them. That is hospitality! I just bought their cocktail book (A Spot at the Bar) so I can make the Everleigh's cocktails here in Brazil while I cannot be back in Australia. Made me a Bug House, as recommended to me by Imi. Tip: the best seats in the house are those at the bar! Love from Rio 🙂

Drinks also were 5 stars! Crafted exceptionally well. These team members made it a special experience for us and were extremely attentive. It’s been an age since we visited this establishment and so glad we did on a Friday evening. Here’s to the next time - ideally for negronis and paninis….!

Gorgeous furnishings, impeccable styling and service. We felt at home even though our guest had never been somewhere so ‘swanky’ she enjoyed the wonderful service and felt at home. The music was perfect, the staff looked amazing and you really felt like you’d stepped back in time. The bartenders choice cocktails were all perfectly matched to our tastes. Will be back again!

Loved the ambience. The service was great too, along with their knowledge of the cocktails ingredients. I left it to them to make me a cocktail specifically tailored to my taste. We only had pre dinner drinks. Next time we will try some food too.

Nice place to catch-up for after dinner drinks and great ambience. Service was a bit lacking for a Thursday. We waited over 15 mins to just get any service and the menu. Ended up just going up to the bar and ordering. Cocktails were very nicely done and presentation is top notch

Gertrude St is a pretty trendy place, but go up the stairs above Belle’s and you’ll be transported to somewhere reminiscence of the 1920s. Dark wood, moody yet cosy atmosphere perfect for a tipple (or more). Whether you decide to order from the menu or leave it to the bartender’s choice, you’ll be in safe hands. Highly recommended, just be careful with the stairs going down after as those drinks are pretty tasty.

I was physically assaulted by a female staff member at this bar. The manager did not care that their staff member had assaulted a customer. I would not recommend anyone going to this unprofessional place. Never have I ever had such aggressive and classless service in my life. It is unacceptable to treat customers the way they do. There are so many nicer bars in Melbourne with staff that will actually treat you with respect and manners.
