    Value for money here is wonderful we had the 2 Pizzas and a cocktail jug for $32 & 2 Pizzas & a bottle of wine for $32. Staff were lovely and very accommodating, place was nice and quiet in a sunday. Only downsides were the pizza's did say it had spicy sausage but it was really really spicy, as was the meat lovers and some of the glasses weren't clean

    Took 20 of us to Asian Beer Cafe on Level 3 of Melbourne Central and it was honestly one of the smoothest, most enjoyable group dinners we’ve ever had. The staff were legends — they got every single person’s order 100% correct, no mix-ups, no fuss. They looked after us making sure wh had plenty of space. The food was seriously good (the Asian twists on the pub classics hit different), the drinks were cheap as chips, and the value for money was outstanding. Everyone had an absolute blast. The other patrons were really respectful of our group, the space worked fine with the mobility aids, and the whole night just flowed perfectly. Massive thank you to the team — you made a big, diverse group feel completely welcome and looked after. If you’re after good food, cold beers, and a genuinely inclusive spot in the CBD, this is it. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend.

    ABC is usually really great for some yummy cocktails and an awesome vibe. Unfortunately this time I did not have the best experience which sucks because it was literally my birthday :( Our food took over an hour and a half to come (we honestly hadn't ordered much) and we had to ask 3 times before we got any of it. The food was okay when it came, just definitely not worth the wait. Cocktail towers were good value and came in a reasonable amount of time.

    The venue gets busy after 5:30pm and the drinks are served a bit slow, cocktails are a bit watered down and everything is a bit sticky/worn but there is good atmosphere so worth the visit.
