Mietta's Review
The ever popular Meyers Place is still going strong, with another wave of new customers 'discovering' it. On Friday night after work it's hard to get through the door. One of the original small Melbourne bars, Meyers Place still sells long neck VBs and all the drinks are very good value.
Other published opinions
The Age Cheap Eats 2008 "Ah Meyers, mother of Melbourne's bar revolution, we love you so"
The Age Clem Bastow, 30-8-2007 "Conceived by architect firm Six Degrees, 20 Meyers Place is made from salvaged and recycled materials, which give the hole-in-the-wall bar a pleasing, organic feel - which is more than you can say for most architect-designed joints. Shades of timber panels - made from tables and cupboards to town hall stages - cover the walls and bar, with a ceiling that looks like floorboards that have turned upside down as though they were in a Gene Kelly special-effects dance sequence."
The Age Cheap Eats Bars 2007 "Where most saw only overflowing skips and impromptu toilets, some saw the perfect place to start a bar, and Melbourne's laneway drinking revolution was born."
The Age Cheap Eats 2006 The definitive hole-in-the-wall bar, Meyer's Place is now well over a decade old. This iconic spot introduced a whole new style of drinking to Melbourne
theage (melbournemagazine) bars Melinda Houston oct 05 "When a group of young architects decided to take advantage of recently liberated licensing laws and build the kind of bar they wanted to hang out in, the face of Melbourne changed forever: for the better."

Or perhaps ...
The Atrium Victoria
Piano bar with a good but pricey cocktail list
Blue Diamond Victoria
Cookie Victoria
A beer-focused bar is an unlikely place to find some of Melbourne's most accessible and affordable Thai food.
Gin Palace Victoria
High quality, but expensive cocktails are front and centre at this late night basement bar.
Golden Monkey Victoria
Hell's Kitchen Victoria
There's food available in this fun little bar one level up over Centre Place. Populsr for after-work drinks.
Horse Bazaar Victoria
Kura Yakitori Bar Victoria
Longrain Restaurant Victoria
Longrain was far hotter than its curries when it lit up the top end of Little Bourke St in late 2005.
Loop Victoria
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.
Lounge Victoria
A place for drinking, smoking and checking out the DJs choices. During the day it is quite different - lot sof students reading, playing pool, and eating large good value meals.
Madame Brussels Victoria
Manchuria Victoria
Melbourne Supper Club Victoria
This bar feels as though it has been around for ages. A perfect spot in Melbourne for those who 'live the night'.
Meyers Place Victoria
One of the first of the new Melbourne bars amd still one of the best. VB longnecks and other good value drinks.

Down a bluestone alleyway, misty is a space unto itself. Friendly bar staff and a relaxed crowd make this a nice place for a drink.

Founded in 1995 Rue Bebelons was one of the first arrivals on the new Melbourne bar scene. Still a great scene.
