Cosy place. Enjoyed some good music and yummy crepes, cheese platter and cocktails. Prices were reasonable too. The back terrace looked really lovely and intimate with mood lighting, chandeliers and plants.

Cosy and cool little bar that also provides an intimate space for local performing artists to showcase their music.

Great to hear the fabulous Hetty Kate at my favourite music venue, Open Studio, with a great band, Blue Harvest.

Lovely little joint! Had a wonderful time with my partner and loved ones, seeing our family from out of town, Adam, doing a session at Open Studio. The hostess and staff we interacted with were all SO lovely and accommodating as well, as we had a disabled, elderly family member with us, and really, it was like they couldn't do enough to help and make her visit there as comfortable as possible.
The outdoor garden out the back is also like a hidden gem. It reminded me of a fairy garden or something from Alice In Wonderland, with beautiful antique chandeliers hanging with climbing plants and vines, it was so charming.
Would love to visit again.

Great crepes! Great drinks! Lovely people! Oh and they have LIVE MUSIC. Support live music and check this awesome place out. I recommend going when they have one of their dance parties one.

What a great idea, cocktails and crêpes. All delicious and great value.
It was a wonderful night of jazz, we felt like we were in an underground club!

Very well decorated, comfy cushions, great ambience in the courtyard, and great crepes and drinks.

Tiny venue with a warm atmosphere. Not the safest for Covid control. Still, good for catching a live performance.

Tight, cosy, and hip, add in live jazz and you have a hidden gem of funky Melbourne. Great drinks menu and the crepes are divine.

Love this cosy bar! We were here to watch Bete Noir. It was a tad crowded but loved it all the same.

Gem.
Such a good place for gigs for the crowd, good vibe and atmosphere. The music is always pleasant so you never feel bored or awkward. It attracts all types of talented artists.

People are super enthusiastic about dancing here which says something.
The bar staff are consistently hospitable which is getting to be rarer and rarer these days.

Great mocktail selection so you do not have to feel self conscious about not drinking alcohol which is accommodating instead of exclusive or judgmental

Furniture is great as well.
They make do with a small space.

Always a place to park the car close by.

The gigs are never too expensive.
I drive 50 minutes to get here and never regret it.

Best crêpes, freshest nachos I’ve ever tasted, although a little too spicy perhaps best to warn your customers Lovely service and great music too. My favourite place in Northcote!

One of the best live music venues in Melbourne. Great for world music that gets you dancing. Just FYI the food is notoriously slow but the staff are really lovely.

Great food and drinks, lovely staff, best music. Lots to love about this funky little creperie that's punching well above its weight as a music venue as well as a cosy local.
