Mietta's Review
Late in the evening Loop glows green like kryptonite. With the super forces of good suitably deterred, the path is clear to get down and dirty. A large screen projects images, the music is loud but if want to you can still hear the conversation unless you've already given into the rhythm and begun dancing in your seat. The crowd is well dressed and mature enough not to appreciate Britney Spears or her look-a-likes. The service is attentive, and drink prices average for a city location.
Other published opinions
The Age Cheap Eats 2008 "Replete with DJs and VJs, YouTube Tuesdays, film festivals and architecture forums, Loop is a visual arts hub as much as it s a bar"
The Age Cheap Eats Bars 2007 "Inner-city art and drinking cultures merge at this top-of-town bar that doubles as a slickly designed screening space."
The Age Cheap Eats 2006 This cool bunker is a magnet to wearers of well-tailored charcoal pants and geometric eyeware. An ever-changing roster of moving images is projected onto the walls
The Age (melbourne) Magazine May 05 Bars Melinda Houston "This cool, grey bunker in the laneway made famous by that other bar is a magnet to young architects, designers, and other wearers of well-tailored charcoal pants and geometric eyeware."
The Age, A2, 28/2/04, Melinda Houston,'points for doing it well.While still catering to the funky young professionals who've been flocking to 20 Meyers Place for years, Loop eschews in lavour of hi-tech art, lots of cubist sofas and a helluva lot more floor space.Cool, gloomy,comfy,with a nice little cocktail list (try the Herbaliser) and Stella Artois on tap,Loop gives the laneway bar scence a nice touch of class.'
The Age, Epicure, 17/2/04, Melinda Houston,'10 Bars Melbourne Loves'
The Sunday Age, 5/10/03, Michelle Matthews,'The dark envrons of a drinking establishment and the moving image medium prove highly compatible...The cocktail list is equally original with a mix of addapted standards'
Liquid-Bar Culture & Beyond, Winter Edition 2003,'Half-art space, half-bar, Loop will present Hook, an eclectic program of visual and aural art forms including film, video, installation, performance, fashion,music and new media fusion.The bar features a list of more than 40 new-age drinks using old-school ingrediants such as Stone's ginger wine, Cinzano and Dubonnet'
