If you love individuality, and great lighting and atmosphere, this is your bar. Staff were also great and I'm so glad to find a bar that has been designed by creative types, and not just fitted out by professionals to the latest design edicts. Loved this place!

The Long Goodbye was a great place to meet and catch up.

We enjoyed the drinks & how you can ‘make it your own’. We would order by saying a movie title and describing it.

The lady who served us however seemed a bit lost most of the time she’d serve us. Even right at the end when we were leaving to pay, she had also mixed that up.

A tad pricey for drinks, x1 non alcoholic pina colada was $17.

Otherwise, everything else was good. Would definitely come back here :)

I have been in before and enjoyed the drinks and service a lot. However, tonight (13th of March) I was with a friend, she needed to use the bathroom as she had gotten her period, we went up just to use the toilet and the lady at the bar informed us that it was a private function (we were totally fine with that and didn’t mind at all) When we asked to still use the bathroom, we were told “no” and then ignored, we weren’t even able to explain the situation, it’s a shame because we meant no harm and we weren’t trying to sneak into the function, we just needed to use the bathroom for a very real issue that women go through every day. A little compassion goes a long way, and being treated so dismissively, smugly and demeaningly has left a bad impression on us. Hopefully no other women will have to experience this, it felt as if we were nuisances and a burden, instead of just two girls trying to find a toilet after dinner.

Delicious cocktails with inventive twists. Sat out on the balcony and had a lovely time sipping and enjoying the drinks and the atmosphere. Would return again and again!

They certainly can make a cocktail 🍸 based on whatever you ask! My brief be like: lychee but not fruity... Sounds like you are telling a graphic designer I wanna a colourful black.
But the drink brought to us was amazing! Summery, refreshing, some texture! I was very impressed.
