Eau De Vie Melbourne

Another one of those hidden bars in an alley that you wouldn't know exists until someone tells you about it. Only give away was the woman standing outside it. Go through a heavy wooden door to enter a warm cozy looking venue with booth seating and long bar tables. You can make bookings too. We got here around 7.30pm and readily found some seating but there was a queue when we left. If you are a whiskey lover well there is a menu just for whiskey from all over the world. The cocktails menu is quite massive and each one has a distinct name. I got the death by peru cocktail with pineapple, Pisco, lime, and slivers of white chocolate. Quite frothy. A bizarre taste I couldn't place with hints of...

We went here as a late dinner even though they are a cocktail bar but they do sell food. We had already had a big lunch and pre dinner nibbles and drinks at out hotel. They do serve food but its share platters and so on but still nice to have with a cocktail or two. It's a hard to find place in another Melbourne cbd alley and I had to google what the door looked like to find it. Once in then it's easy. The place was pack and luckily I had booked and we go a couple of seats at the bar. Watching the guys making the cocktails was a real treat and the way they do things is very entertaining. We had a couple of nice cocktails no food though as were eaten enough already. It's fairly dark and a sma...

Cheap? No. Quiet? No. Incredibly creative cocktails in a stylish space? Hell yes. Best to book or expect to wait. You enter through a large, unmarked wooden door with a brass handle. The cocktail list is a book its overwhelming. There is also the option of food and an impressive array of whiskeys. Tuesday nights you can get a whiskey and cheese pairing for $40, which is a bargain given the 5 whiskeys and cheeses you get. Drinks run $19 and up, with most around $23. It will take some time for them to be made as they are complex, but given the packed house, I was impressed with how fast they could make them. The espresso martini will spoil you for any others topped with frozen mousse, it's the...

There is no sign on the door but when you do finally find Eau De Vie, you won't ever forget it. The music, bartenders and atmosphere gives me an old school classy vibe and with the wide drink selection and nibbles you could really spend a whole night here and watch the magic happen. Be prepared to spend a bit here as the drinks do add up but it is like paying for drinks AND a show watching them make each cocktail with precision and passion. I've visited alone, on dates or even in groups and each time I stumble away happy. Reserve uma mesa agora

4.8. Not overhyped at all. This is a very, very, very good bar that is truly representative of the best of Melbourne. It has a mysterious entrance that I found hard to find despite repeated warnings. The dark lighting and dark wood panelled interior is very chic. There's an awesome range of drinks here including hundreds of scotches. We had a lovely sparkling and a few wines together with some eggplant chips and a charcuterie board. Excellent smart active staff here as well. Trust me, it's a superb place.

A must if you're looking for cocktails in Melbourne! Online reservations and accepted and encouraged. The drinks were fun and adventurous, often involving flames and crazy presentations. It's easy to overlook find the nondescript brown door with a brass handle on the west side of the alley. Definitely worth checking out for speakeasy vibes and delicious beverages!

Fantastic cocktail menu the best cocktails I have had in Melbourne the staff are friendly and absolute scientists on how they make their super large selection of delicious drinks. Hard to find it's behind doors that make it hidden but it's worth it, be sure to book Thu to Sat it gets real busy.

Wide range of different cocktails, though the ones we tried weren’t amazing. This hidden bar boasts a great atmosphere with cozy booths, making it an ideal spot for pre or post dinner drinks. Price per person: $20–40 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Love the mystery of finding this place! Once you've made your way, what's worth the find is the elaborate cocktail menu! Highly recommended the Smokey Rob Roy and the Birth of Venus. Just the presentation itself makes you want more!
