What Millie Beer doesn't like about Bella Union Bar:
The Bella Bar was a suitably grungy venue for an event during the Melbourne Writers Festival: a crime writers' prize giving with entertainment in the form of a band and a comic debate. I was drinking fruit juice and tried two types. Both were awful: though they were poured from big plastic bottles they tasted tinny and fake and too sweet. View all feedback. What Stanley Farrell likes about Bella Union Bar:
Bella Bar is upstairs in the grand old Trades Hall building on the corner of Victoria Street and Lygon Street on the border of Melbourne city and the inner northern suburb of Carlton. It's a big, casual space with the bar across the back and a stage across the front. Over the years the bar has seen all kinds of people come and go and all kinds of gatherings and functions, including comedy, talks and launches. View all feedback.
