Neighbourhood: Central Business District
Full of discovery and delight, Melbourne’s laneways tease the imagination long after you’ve put your weary feet up to rest. They weave through the heart of the city: cafes, bars, restaurants and boutiques, throbbing with conversation and espresso coffee. You never quite know what you’ll find around the next corner: cobblestone alleys, old beer barrel hoists and even vats of simmering organic soup. There is the air of Berlin in the street art, a touch of Paris in the umbrella-shaded cafes and, reminiscent of Rome, eateries tucked away in the most unlikely of places. Perhaps you might want a break and cross the Yarra River to Southbank - walk along the promenade, bask in the sun at a waterside bar and decide whether to go to the nearby casino or book a ticket at the Melbourne theatre company.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I spent another fantastic evening with friends at Cabinet Bar & Balcony last night.

As ever, the service was very attentive, the cocktails were inventive and tasty, the food was good and well presented.

In sum, this is a 5 ⭐️ venue!

Small intimate place that is hard to find. (A good thing) Great staff, good music, great variety of cocktails and a satisfying menue. A chile Prawn flatbread (pizza) was sensational

This has been on my list to visit for a while. Popped in for a glass of wine and left after a few more than that and some food! Was relaxing, it’s small but we weren’t there at a busy time. The Riesling was very good, cheese was amazing and the Eggplant chips were just what we needed. Will definitely add this to my list to revisit soon.

Needing a warm place to have a short break in the city on a cold afternoon Cabinet was perfect. Tapas menu fills the spot with a glass of red to wash it down.
Coffee is excellent too.

A hidden gem in the CBD lovely bar for pre drinks before going out for dinner or just having light food and a few drinks with friends. Would love to come back again and have the $10 flatbreads on Wednesday. A cultural walking tour the next day took us to the Rainbow Alley and talked about how this bar is a hidden gem too.

We visited Cabinet Bar on the weekend. Cute wee bar, cozy, and friendly service. Nice range of cocktails on the menu, alongside mulled wine and non alcoholic beverages. Nice spot to grab a drink and a catch up with some friends

This review is probably long overdue. I have been frequenting Cabinet for quite some time now, but alas, I have only just gotten a TripAdvisor account. The staff who work here are ever-friendly and attentive, we have never had a bad experience here and the wine selection is exceptional. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Melbourne who wants the quintessential hidden local gem experience.

Try the eggplant chips, they will change your life.

Meeting friends for Tapas and drinks on te balcony on a balmy Melbourne evening was delightful. A limited choice of beers, I’d like to see the craft beer range extended to really make this a fab venue. The share meals were delicious, the haloumi mini burgers are definitely a must try.

Tucked behind the Town Hall, this nice little bar has Japanese beer on tap and blackboard filled with appealing cocktails. Nice setting with balcony seating.
Thanks for the vote if you found this review helpful.
