"Super cute wine bar just outside the city for something different! Who doesn’t like to chillax with multiple glasses of wine over board games! The place also has a ton of books on offer. Great concept! A very European small shop feel. Lots of interesting wine selection at very reasonable prices. The chicken pâté was just amazing!!! Super nice owners and very attentive friendly service! Definitely would come back for seconds!"

"Really nice smoked and juicy meats. Seating is only outdoors so check the weather. When I went it was windy and raining. Not a great way to enjoy some good food. I just have to go back now. Customer service was top ... The lady there know how to look after customers. Parking: Industrial area so parking during the week can be hard with lots of trucks all around. Service: Dine in"

"Best crepe I’ve tasted in Melbourne! And prices are very reasonable too. Ordered the Nutella crepe, and it’s so delicious! Crispy and not too soft, and best thing to have on a cold evening after dinner! Will be back : highly recommended that you give this a try!"

"This is a lovely neighbourhood bar with interesting daily food options that are a bit quirky but very tasty. The wine/cocktail list is extensive however wines by the glass are dependant upon what is then opened. Nevertheless there was plenty to choose from and once again the emphasis is on the unusual rather than standard wines but it was all the more interesting for that. The wine waiter was both knowledgable and helpful. Back to the food, we particularly enjoyed the lamb curry served Indian street style with excellent background heat. If you are in the area Gerald's Bar is worth a try."
