5 stars, I stumbled across this place quite late in the early hours.
Security, door and bar staff were welcoming. Good drinks and prompt service.
Who ever designed this place has done an amazing job, words cannot describe.
Crowd was diverse, everyone one was loving it.
Different music upstairs and downstairs.
Will be back.
Thanks

Quirky, interesting bar, themed and nestled in a back alley of Melbourne.
Drop in to stimulate your senses

Came one night as a tourist to the city for some drinks. Waited at the entrance until they confirmed that there was some space on the second floor, we walked up, went to the bar to try and order and were told off and told to go stand at our table where we would have our order taken. That's fine and as the tables started emptying and we were stood awkwardly at our bar table we requested to move but were told they were full. We stayed for one drink and left it was all too complicated just to have a drink.

Overall though staff were fairly polite, the atmosphere is good and the DJ played some good tunes at just the right volume.

Creative drinks menu - my favourite being Down the Rabbit Hole! Great atmosphere particularly the dance floor after 10 pm. There's only popcorn for food though, wish we had more to munch on with the drinks. Except this, a big thumbs up!

My favourite club and overall spot in Melbourne as a local. Any night out in the city has an 80% of ending here. Also the nicest staff I've met in any club and made heaps of friends with them and randoms I've met on a night out. Worth it for a boogie till morning on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday!

Loved loved the vibe of this place. The staff were amazing and super friendly. Unfortunately there was a group booking upstairs which meant we were kinda shoved against a wall on a small and awkward table. We were given a free shot for the inconvenience which was nice. The cocktails weren't great and im not sure I would order again, but the theme was fun.

The whole venue is incredible and very fairytale like.staff are lovely and very knowledgeable. The music was so good as well! The drinks menu is literally insane and super creative, although sometimes they looked a little better than they tasted, however I did also love the theatrics that came with each drink. But all In all it is a must go!

StoryVille has an enticing beginning from the moment you enter the bluestone cobbled alleyway. The journey continues once over the threshold by taking you up flights of creaking darkened staircases towards your destination. Upon entering the intimate bar, fantastic features and dark corners reveal themselves to suggest you are in for an out-of-the-ordinary evening.
The cocktail list is abundant with names and combinations to rival the odd surroundings, however, the flavours that present upon tasting indicate a disjointed amalgam.
Be prepared for intrusions while relieving one's self due to the misinterpretation of gender signs above the doors in almost total darkness.

Perfect venue for you to order one drink to post to your Instagram and then I recommend you leave straight away.

Went there with a group of 8 and we tried most of their fairy tale inspired cocktails. Loved the theatrics and presentation of them however the positives end there.

The cocktails just didn't taste very good.some watered down and just straight up trash. DO NOT get the Beauty and the Beast Cocktail, it comes out under a dome with smoke (yes, it looks sick.but it tasted like you were drinking out of an ash try). My friend ordered the "Down The Rabbit Hole" which was advertised as a mystery drink with "? " on it's menu.i'm sure the people who work there also don't know what's in it because it tasted like melted plastic.

Not recommended for people who take their cocktails seriously, I would avoid this venue at all costs! Give your money to a bar that knows what they're doing. These venues that have heavy theming pretty much always end up never being any good.

Extremely unique and fun decor, with a great selection of different cocktails. The Golden snitch is delicious

Love the upstairs space for hosting events. The lower level bar tops my list with a great set and djs every time

Came here for my birthday, such a cool and amazing place! The decor and theme was sensational.drinks were overpriced but definitely worth visiting here and grabbing a drink of two! The drinks we did order were super good and so cool! The tea cup cocktails and the goblet one that lights on fire is a favourite!

Went here for cocktails. It's just gimmicky & overpriced.a tourist trap! Much nicer places to go for a drink in Melbourne. The drinks were also absolutely tiny.

Wow. Great little hidden Gem. You can go there to enjoy a lovely cocktail but also great great atmosphere at night time when it turns into a club. Two different floors so there music for everyone. 1st floor has amazing DJ‘s on! My favourite new place with such a great location! Keep up the good work guys.

This place has been my favorite " secret " bar located in Melbourne. The atmosphere create the feeling of myself becoming a main character in "Alice In Wonderland story".
Everytime I take my friend here. They have been immerse on the decoration and drinks.

StroyVille right from the entrance invites you into an enchanting and colourful world of fun. Brightly lit decorations adorn the walls, giving both bars a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, with a variety of drinks, seating/booth settings & dance floors to accommodate all sorts of party goers. A must see space, one of the most unique bars in the city.

Love the vibe and drinks. It’s better to book first. We waited for more than half an hour and still can’t sit on the level of the first photo anyway the staff were great
