Mietta's Review
Piano bar with a good but pricey (though less than some) cocktail list. In spite of its 35th floor location the views are restricted to the toilets. The attractively dark bar itself is located in the middle of the building.

Herald Sun,citystyle,25/5/04,Danielle Johnston,'Plush,five-star and 35 floors high,this hotel bar could easily be straight out of Toko or Toronto.Moody music and intimate nests of club lounges contrast with mirror-panelled walls and soaring swathes of silver fabric hanging overhead.Cocktail umbrellas and plastic monkeys checked out long ago,but the sentiment-and the grand piano-remains.'

Gin Palace, (03) 9654 0533, 10 Russell Place, MELBOURNE High quality, but expensive cocktails are front and centre at this late night basement bar.
Sahara Restaurant, (03) 9663 8477, 301 Swanston St, Melbourne A student haven with retro found-object furnishings amid a mixture of lounge room and kitchen table setups.
Misty Place, (03) 9663 9202, 3-5 Hosier la, MELBOURNE 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.
Troika Bar, (03) 9663 0221, 106 Little Lonsdale St, MELBOURNE Very much a bar for drinking and talking, a mostly older and unconventional crowd.

Loop, (03) 9654 0500, 23 Meyers Pl, MELBOURNE 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.
