Eau De Vie Melbourne

Amazing staff and cocktails! It's an absolute must to visit in Melbourne. The decor is amazing and the hidden nature of the bar just adds to everything. Seriously go, you won't regret it.

Absolutely love this place. The decor, the staff, the ambiance and of course the cocktails

Cocktails was excellent. We had a few things to eat (charcuterie, tartare, and pork / kimchi sando). All very tasty.

I love this place, I have been a few times now and it never disappoints. The cocktails are amazing, the staff are always helpful and friendly and the food delicious. You really do feel like you are in another place when you are there. Just wonderful.

Great service, atmosphere and cocktails, i would definitely visit this place again. Its so decadent and a hidden little diamond x

Awesome place, a new favourite!
Can't wait till COVID is over so we can spend more that 90 minutes there.

Eau de Vie is the most amazing place in Melbourne. The cocktails are original and even watching them being made is like a mini live theatre show. The staff are attentive but do not hover. The noise is moderate and the music blends into the background. I'd really missed this place during 2020 and it was lovely to come back after such a long time away. It can be a bit pricey but the quality of the ingredients, alcohol used and the food are divine and worth the cost.

I had a gin martini with three massive olives (refreshing and adult), an Aviator (sour with a splash of fairy floss), a Kitty at the Cocobongo (sweet, passionfruity) and a Valentino (robust, strong).

My friend had an Angry Maria (really spicy bloody mary) which she loves but is too spicy for me. I wish they sold the sauce base they use to make it to take home. My friend also had a Yuze Mule (ginger beerish) and a Fat Tuesday (a cactus in a drink). It was fabulous.

We ate the comte croquettes, the fanciest deep fried cheese with mushroomy over tones. Scrumptious! I wish I had a portal from my home to Eau de Vie so I could pop in whenever I wanted.

Service was fantastic, and staff extremely helpful with recommendations!

Sophisticated, relaxed, classy hidden bar. Cocktails are superb especially Kitty @ the Coco Bongo. Try to get a seat at the high table in front of the bar and watch your cocktails being made.

Awesome bar! Great drinks, great ambience and a great vibe. Cozy booths and great decor.

We only ordered cocktails, but the variety was fantastic. There was one fit each of our different taste preferences.

Very special birthday experience!

Incredible atmosphere, amazing cocktail menu and the workers were so lovely, talented and hard-working!!

Love Eau de Vie, such a great experience, staff know their stuff and are always very helpful. Drinks menu is extensive to suit all tastes. Couldn’t recommend highly enough AAA

Vibrant, classy, noisy and expensive, but worth the experience even if it's just once (just to say you've been there!). Great selection of drinks & good staff (some of whom could sell used cars given half a chance!) who know their stuff. If you get a booth, you can communicate without shouting, but otherwise in the main room it's shouting over the din.

Would have been better if it had tables more suitable for eating

Great place!

This is one of my favorite places to eat and drink in Melbourne, it has a great atmosphere and ambiance, they have reduced their drinks menu down which may be due to COVID but I hope it goes back to normal soon. I really recommend taking a friend there as it is tucked away and hard to find like a diamond!!

The drinks were good but the service was taking too long.

Our group didn't have any food. It was a pre-dinner visit.

I'll like to commend our hostess. Her attentiveness was extraordinary. I'm sorry that I didn't catch her name. She was young (under 30), had neck-length dark hair and a great, welcoming disposition. She a great ambassador for your business.

We always try to take visitors to Melbourne here for at least cocktails. This time it was cocktails before dinner (no food). The ambience, the theatre, the waiters explanations and knowledge never disappoint. Our visitors are always impressed.

The food and cocktail theatre are amazing at this venue, however the 90 min seating is too restrictive given the length of time taken to receive drinks and food. We were essentially having the food taken from our mouth and advised every 5 mins they needed the table back despite empty seats.

The waiter didn't know the drinks and told us every 10 mins when we had to leave. We get it, no need to make the evening uncomfortable.
I still liked the place the drink were delicious and other staff were nice.

fabulous cocktails, ambiance and barkeep, current favourite bar in Melbs

Every time I go to Eau De Vie it is amazing. The staff are amazing and friendly and they know their drinks back to front. The only disappointment for me is the last two times I have been we have been sat in a small booth away from the atmosphere. Otherwise a night at Eau De Vie is highly recommended.

GReat atmosphere and seriously impressive array of drinks- great place for a cocktail with friends

The presentation was unique and the cocktails were mind blowing. One of the finest experiences in Melbourne. Highly recommended for classy cocktail enthusiasts.

Absolutely amazing atmosphere. Brilliant drinks and food

It's an expensive, but excellent night out experimenting with a long menu of excellent cocktails. Top notch service, ambiance and comfort.

Cocktails delicious and service was great.
The food was not to the standard I was expecting for that price and the reputation, was very disappointing.

Not good value for money. The drinks were over priced.

Amazing place...classy with great cocktails, each cocktail with it's own pizzazz

My friends and I believe going to Eau De Vie is a real treat. The 1920s speakeasy is a hidden gem and once inside we forget the outside world. The service, ambience, drinks and food are exceptional.

Enjoyed the wednesday whiskey and cheese tasting paddles. Tried several cocktails. Professional service. Excellent value venue. Arrived early for our booking and they managed to seat us pretty quickly. Definitely heading back there again. The other things on the menu looked good too, but only had a short sitting (1.5 hours) so opted to stick to the whiskey and cheeses. Everything was reasonably priced from what I could see.

The waitress was very rude. We were late which is completely our fault. However she was not understanding for being an extra 15mins late. We were happy to pay the $25 late fee if she could let us be an extra 15 mins late. No compromise. There weren’t any people to take our reservation anyways. When we got there I followed this waitress because I thought she was showing us to our table. She turns around and said what are you doing. Very rude. we were constantly told you have this amount of time left. We felt rushed. We ordered our cocktails which took 30 mins to be made. So we had to quickly drink it within 10 mins. As our reservation was up. It’s not hard to be nice. The worst attitude. Don’t think she knows how to give good service. Love the cocktails though. All the other waiters were fine.

Cozy atmosphere with lovely helpful staff. Yummy food

As always Eau De Vie is a great bar for some great cocktails, ambience and great service

Not a good table position, shoved in the corner
Really disappointing

Fabulous evening indulging in stunning and theatrical cocktails

Their cocktails are the best !!! And their crispy potatoes are soooooo good!!
