"Branching out B.E.E.R.S"
Attendess: Cam, Ben, Sarah, Michael, Tom B, Tom H
Price: Average priced which is nice for a cocktail bar.
Location: 61 High St Northcote near Westgarth St.
Distance: 10min tram ride
Obscurity: Nothing is really that obscure with chairs out the front
Ambience: To begin with it was empty except for us but we still felt welcome and comfortable. Good tunes and lighting.
Character: A bit hit and miss, not a particularly interesting building.
Decor: The bar set up is extravagant & beautiful. Some great pieces like wall mirrors and some original artworks. Fireplaces in the back room are brilliant.
Comfort: Some great different options. Sit at the bar or grab a table in the front, a booth around the fire in the back room or a spot outside in the back courtyard. Fine to come here by yourself, with a big group or anything in between.
Patrons: Not really busy enough to make any assumptions.
Staff: Great - friendly, helpful and good for a chat.
Selection: No taps but a nice selection of bottled beers & an extensive wine and cocktail list.
Outdoor: Back area with some tables, a little foliage and nice vibe. Shade cloth for the sunny days. Also some on street seating to soak up a bit of High St atmosphere.
Specials: Selling point is the wine and cocktails but no specials as such.
Amenities: Not great, a bit like a half renovated house toilet and an oddly large room. Hole in the wall and patchy paintwork doesn't help.
Top suggestion: Get a tap beer.
Field notes: Tables are trippy - like two halves that slot together but is actually just one solid top. Open fireplaces are a big plus for the winter months. Some very tasty food options - highly recommended.
Memorable quotes: "Quiet wine bar for yuppies" Tom A (about a minute after arriving)
"Explosive dumplings!" Sarah
Arbitrary Score: 76
Could easily crack the 80s with a few minor adjustments. Definitely will come back another time!
A great local spot with a relaxed atmosphere and great selection of drinks and snacks.
