Bar Nacional

Good atmosphere, good food (mains a little bit small) and good service. The girls on the coffee machine are amazing.

Food gets one star because it didn't arrive after 90 minutes.
Service was hopeless. Sides came out after 2 minutes and mains nowhere to be seen. Asked to have the sides reheated and was told "that means you will go to the back of the queue".
Atmosphere OK, nice lay out but very loud.
This was a client lunch. Clients left without food. I cannot recommend.

Perfect paella, sangria a little sweet but enjoyable and a respectable negroni to finish, would visit again.

We celebrated my son's birthday here for lunch. We had patatas bravas, calamari, a charcuterie platter (it was small and came with no bread but was yummy meat), some grilled broccolini (they had no asparagus), croquetas (leek and parmesan) and beef empanadas. The best was the croquetas and least good was the empanadas. We loved it and had fun. They catered for a peanut allergic diner.

I went to Bar Nacional because my favourite cofee shop was too bsuy for the time that I had to wait for a coffee. The service was fine and the coffee was, well, coffee, but where this place really falls over is that they have next to no pastries or muffins or croissants if you want a quick breakfast option. There's just nothing appetizing in the AM. So, if you just want coffee then OK but don't hold out for anything else to start your day.

Very nice place in Docklands for after work drinks. Massive open space outside the bar which can be used only if it's not raining.

The beer selection here is lacking compared to other bars in this area. While the ones they had were quite good, I like a bigger selection personally.

Looks like a decent place and my mate recommends it for drinks but I came here on a pretty quiet Wednesday morning and had to wait a good 5-10 minutes for.
Wait for it
No service.

So we just left. Pretty disappointing because it looked like it had potential

Service was exceptional. Good & coffee excellent with reasonable prices. Coats hung up. Not too noisy if meeting for a catch up. Can recommend.

Drinks outside happy hour quite pricey, but lovely atmosphere. Not much inside space and heaters outside only so effective.

Great to have a classy venue just outside where I work in Docklands. Warm outside under the heaters. A little cramped inside on a Friday night.

Food and service is always fantastic. Try the lunch deal or Feed Me option to sample a few different things. We always have a fabulous time here

The smallest "large" coffee you've ever seen in your life. Hilariously embarrassing Super nice staff.

All about that view! I only had a liquid diet, and beers can be a bit pricey, but definitely worth stopping in at

Working across the road makes this bar the easiest destination for a post work drink. However, when that drink is cat's piss masquerading as red wine, it is hard to swallow. When informed of a possible problem with this particular bottle, rather than replacing it, the staff decided to argue with us over the finer points of wine tasting. Eventually we had to ask them to take it away, we were not given a refund. Trash place, trash staff. Can't wait for bin day! 1 star is too many.

Brilliant friendly service and great coffee! Will definitely be popping in for a drink on a Friday to enjoy the new menu!

Great coffee, friendly staff, though a bit surprised to order the "fresh squeezed juice" and see them pour it out of a fridged bottle from Woolworths.

Tasty food, worst service I've had in Melbourne. Waited over an hour for lunch after pre ordering.

Some good Draught beers for after work drinks plus good coffee for the morning. A good choice for either end of the day!

Been here a few times to order coffee. Very slow and coffee doesn't come out the way I order it. They have a two group machine, 1 making the shots and the other making milk. Standard set up but they need to have someone on the register in the morning rush and leave the baristas to concentrate on making coffee only. Took 20 mins for a coffee. Way too long. Hopefully this will be fixed in the near future but until then this is my honest rating.
