Honey Bar and Restaurant

Always a great experience!

Updating my review because I recently visited and the menu changed. For the worse. The beef cheeks I loved were if the menu and it was closer to pub food. Our server was friendly and we had a fun time; I'd return for drinks. My original review (that no longer applies 😞) --- This was my best meal in Melbourne. I'd never had beef cheeks and was a bit leery, and now I'm hooked! It was perfection and the crispy egg was great. We ordered beet and feta croquettes -- not a fan. My friend had the calamari and loved it.

Came here for lunch and the Parma I ordered was delicious and huge - so big I could only finish half. Service was friendly and attentive - however, do expect to have to wait a while for food to be done. Bring back the sticky date pudding that use to be on the menu - it was delicious!

Really good food and service with decor to match. I have been here before but not for a function, the upstairs area was perfect and the staff looked after every request. The finger food was delicious and everyone loved it. I look forward to returning for one of their special meal nights - maybe Parma night.

Had an amazing dinner here with my wife. Great service and amazing food! Will be back. Loved the cocktails too.

Just another revamped pub

Dropped in to the Honey Bar and Restaurant mid-week and had a great early afternoon coffee. The place has a nice vibe and the service was good and the staff very friendly. It's an interesting place. Looks like it might have been a pub in an earlier life. They offer a wide range of tap, local, light and international beers, sparkling and champagne, wines, cocktails, mocktails, and non-alcholoic drinks such as soft drink, lemon lime bitters, fruit juice, coffee, tea and hot chocolate. They also serve hot and cold food, and deserts 7 days a week for lunch and dinner and have daily specials. There's also 3 big screens and the waitress did tell me that it's a popular place during major sports events like the AFL Grand Final. Upstairs there's a function room with full service restaurant/kitchen, a bar and dance floor. It offers city views and a balcony. Great for birthday parties and special celebrations such as engagements and weddings as well as corporate/business functions. The seating outside on the footpath is a great option on a nice day.

Walked here after the 10km ms fun walk.. So by this point we were very hungry. We ordered only two dishes which was probably a good thing given probably the wait was about 30 + minutes and the place wasn't even busy. The staff did apologise after a long time as they noticed and did offer us a free drink. When the food did come out, both dishes were both lovely. They were tasty and just what we needed to satisfy our stomachs. Although we didn't eat much the flavours were rich and textures were well paired which was enough to keep us content without feeling like we needed to eat more food. Not something I've experienced often. I would come back to this place it's just a shame the wait time is so long taking it down a star. The dishes we ordered were mac and cheese and falafel.

They used to serve the best sticky date pudding you can find in Melbourne. Now it is Chicken Parma! Definitely visit this place for the massive parma. Taste: ***** Environment: ***** Service: *****

Cool bar, happy hour lasts until 7pm which is great, longer than other places. The wine is good. The staff are nice but a bit particular with the menus, they need to be placed on the tables and not moved. Personality and energy would boost this place!
