Robot Bar

Definitely one of the must visit Japanese bar in the town. Lots of sake and japanese whisky options. The bartender Yoshi-san is down to earth, a good place to enjoy drinks with mates.

Great bartender/owner, makes excellent cocktails, with beer on offer as well as a quality array of sake. I can't claim to be a sake connoisseur but it was easily the best sake I've ever had. Small, cosy but modern venue with ground floor seating as well as a mezzanine, from which you can better enjoy the Anime projected on the wall every Tuesday night at 9pm (get there early with a small enough crowd and you might be able to choose the show as well).

Long standing institution in Melbourne. Amazing sake selection, insane cocktails, super cosy and welcoming.

Been going to robot for years and Yoshi is always super welcoming and gives great service. Cosy spot that's perfect for catching up with a few friends.

This Japanese animate theme bar has been around for more than 10 years now. Great decor and atmosphere. It has great selection of spirits, beer and especially Japanese saké. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable in Japanese saké.

The staff is very friendly and it's a nice little spot for some drinks

Nice bar, relaxed atmosphere, good for a conversation/catchup. Good place to go share a bottle of sake with a friend or partner. Knowledgeable bartender.

Super nice little bar. The owner is really friendly. Great selection if drinks.

I've been here a few times and the bar is really cool, it's a shame the owner has no people skills. He was extremely rude to me and my friends and yelled us for accidentally sitting in the neighbouring shops chairs. He also served a regular customer that came up to the bar after us and we were clearly waiting to be served for a while, at the same time looking frustrated that we were even there asking for a drink or being there. If you read the reviews below you'll see a lot of people mention the same thing, It's a shame as the bar set out is very cool and cosy, I feel like he should hire other staff or learn to not be so unpleasant. A little baffled how this place still has 4.4 stars overall. I don't think I'll go back here from a few bad experiences so far.

Cool little bar, the couple cocktails we had were delicious
