Price: $9.50 for pint of boutique beers. Expensive!
Location: 484 Smith St, Corner of Alexandra Ave. Very main roads
Distance: <5 mins walk
Obscurity: None
Ambience: Lighting too dim gives it a dingy feel. Good alternative tunes. Overall subdued vibe, could do with being a bit more lively.
Character: Amazing. Band room is one of the best in Melbourne. Unique quality without being too overbearing. Train theme is really cool.
Decor: Hanging baskets are tacky. Luggage rack above booths is amazing. English pub feeling with a twist. Nailed the train station look.
Comfort: lots of intimate hideyholes, breaks up the space and allows for group or one on one interaction. Option of booths is really cool. Comfort of ordering at bar is super low.
Patron Attitude: Cool indie kids, but not the cunts that go to Click Click.
Patron Hotness: Hot Collingwood indie crowd (“bitches” B.H.)
Beer garden: Open air bandroom with smoking on balcony= awesome. But no outdoor chill area.
Selection: Great obscure selection, but still has Boag’s for a cheapy.
Specials: Wicked bandroom, food menu looks awesome and kitchen is open till 11pm.
Service: Issue of bar circulation. Generally good staff that know their shit, but when busy could lead to long wait times.
Staff Hotness: Older, hipster typical hospos.
Amenities: Awesome, trendy, clean.

Field Notes: Great potential. Looks like a good place to party. Love to come back on a Fri or Sat. Non-pretentious good time feel for a good night out. Speed cameras intermittently flashing through window adds to the ambience. Could lead to an awesome drinking game called, “Flash shot of the shot flash” I.B.
Memorable Quotes: “The fucking cloak rack!” B.H.
