Bad Frankie

Amazing venue in the heart of Collingwood. Ty makes some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had and is pretty cute too! 9/10 dentists would recommend the Thirsty Little Piggy.

Beautiful, refreshing cocktails featuring Australian native ingredients. Also had the shroom jaffle - a tasty snack.
Music not too loud so you can have a chat with mates on the comfy seats.

Excellent cocktails, and Tie is an amazing bartender. Didn’t get to try the jaffle cause we went after dinner. Will definitely come back!

We love having delicious toasties and cocktails on Thursday nights after our event. Ty is always so accommodating and provides the best service! It's the main reason we keep coming back. Highly recommend!

An excellent concept.tasty/ creative drinks all with Australian botanicals.

An amazing joint on smith st

Love this place.great drinks and friendly service.always my go-to bar for when I want a nice cozy place to chat and drink.

Love this place. Vegan jaffles are incredible. Cocktails rev my engine. And the service is always delightful. One bartender (I think his name is Ty) is an absolute dish!

I love this little place. Their jaffles are the best and their alcohol range is great. They support local producers which is important. I thought about taking off a star for not having a permanent dessert jaffle on the menue but that would be spiteful Small venue and it gets pretty packed.

The worse service I have EVER had. Unbelievably immature and inconsiderate staff members who treated me so badly. Took the full piss & made myself and my friends feel so uncomfortable. Will never be returning - very sad as it is a cool spot for drinks!

Amazing spot with an awesome, friendly staff! Super cozy location. Good drinks, especially the Akubra in the Bush. The jaffles aren’t bad either! Definitely going to be back soon.

We have been to Bad Frankie many times and we love their collection of Australian spirits and beer.

Had a fantastic experience here on a Wednesday night. The staff were so knowledgeable and gave me the time to learn about the drinks. I can’t wait to come back.

Have you ever tried Australian Gin with native green ants? ! You must visit this bar!

This bar is a must go to in Melbourne. I’ve visited this place a few times and they always surprise me with their selection of local spirits.

It is such a good place to chill and enjoy the company of friends.

I love this bar?

Definitely worth a trip for the vibe and the amazing cocktails. The staff were super attentive and knowledgeable which elevated the whole experience. Highly recommend a visit!

Amazing place to have post dinner drinks, we went there after dinner on Thursday and tried a few spirits. They have a huge variety of Australian spirits, the bartender is keen to chat about it too and made me a special gin sour. The classic jaffle with chutney was delicious as well. Also that's the image of special absinthe shot the bartender made for us.

Such a good time getting to taste all the different gins! Can't wait to get back in to try the rest.

I love ordering a golden flip and jaffle from there over the years. However, my friends and I haven’t been back because of our last experience. My friend was up at the bar chatting to the bartender serving us while we stayed seated at our table. My friend has ADHD and did not realise they were there for quite some time while hyper fixating on the topic of spirits. We had ordered food and another staff member dropped it off to our table. She came off as passive aggressive when telling us that our friend was keeping her co-worker busy and decided to drop it off it herself. We later explained to our friend they over welcomed their stay, but it was towards the end of the night and we were maybe one of two groups left. Quite unexpected from a place that usually has great customer service.

Had really good chicken jaffles here. The staff is very nice and knowledgeable but cocktails were a bit of a hit or miss. I will still go in again to try the all Aussie spirit collection.

Love the atmosphere, the experience and knowledge staff shared with me in relation to each of the ingredients. It felt like I was getting a tour of each of Australia's distilleries from Shim shortly after preparing one masterful cocktail after another. Thanks for being a teriffic host and see you all soon!

So, that jaffle (lasagne) was absolutely amazing. The way the cheese oozed out was an absolute dream. Just delicious! The Thirsty Little Piggy was lovely too, nice and lemony without being too sweet or sour. The interior makes for a really nice cozy atmosphere! 10/10, would visit again!
