verified email - 31 Aug 2012

Upon entering the store, I was really impressed with what the store had to offer. I did notice lots of Manga/Anime as well comics and other awesome nerd paraphernalia. Great selection of Comic Books. Further on back there were some display cases with some cool Statues, busts, and action figures. The Staff was really helpful.

Approximate cost: $1-1000

This review is for Fun, Food and Friendship - Melbourne Social Club, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 02 Aug 2012

This place is great and I would agree that it's 'Melbourne's best and liveliest social activities group'.

Great place to socialise and it has great event nights like ghost nights, fashion events, dancing, movie nights, trivia nights, dinners and fine dining and even comedy nights. Great place to meet new people and have a lot of fun in the process, check it out!

I'm a member here and I love it. Great prices for casual visits or memberships (only $5 per casual visit). It has helpful staff and they just purchased a whole bunch of new equipment! Great atmosphere for working out. It's also easy to get there, it's on High Street and the 86 tram stops right near they gym. It's also open till 12 most night! Check it out!

This review is for Afghan Gallery Restaurant, Fitzroy VIC

verified email - 29 Jul 2012

I would have to say this restaurant the 'Afghan Gallery' has got to be one of best places I've dined in the Fitzroy area. The food was really interesting and exotic, the service was good, prices reasonable and it leaves you talking about the experience. Check it out if you like to be a bit adventurous with you dinning experience.

This review is for Victoria Hotel, Footscray VIC

Good place if you're looking for something easy going. It was good pub food, quick and cheap but nothing fancy. Will be back again. Had some amazing lamb shanks, delicious and a big serving. The portions are massive, could easily be shared between two people! Plus, and did I mention it's really cheap! This pub is just full of character.

This review is for Alpha Car Hire, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 21 Jul 2012

I hired a Nissan Micra from Alpha Care Hire on Franklin Street and it was fantastic. It was in great condition and got the job done with no problems at all (driving to Wilson Promontory). The service was great when I arrived to pick it up early morning and the whole transaction went very smoothly. The price was also a major factor for me, and they were substantially cheaper than most of the other car hire places I looked at. They also had an option where you could pay a small fee to have the excess removed from the car in the event I had an accident. This was undoubtedly the best care hire experience I've ever had and I highly recommend people consider them when thinking about their next car rental.

Approximate cost: $60

This review is for Astor Theatre, St Kilda VIC

verified email - 16 Jun 2012

Wow, what a great theater! The building is amazing, and you really feel like you're experiencing the cinemas of old. Plus, they must be one of the only cinemas in Australia that actually have the double features. Additionally, you can experience movies that were before your time on the big screen - the way they were meant to be seen! Do yourselves a favor and check them out!

This review is for Kitty Somerset, Thornbury VIC

This bar has a great little fire and dim lighting which offer a very cosier affair. It also has nice leather sofas which are the very comfortable and sinking in kind. It's a great place to grab a book or play game of Scrabble from the nearby bookshelf.....And naturally drink some beer! The music is not overpowering and it's a great place to have long and meaningful, or short and frivolous t conversations.

Approximate cost: $8+

This review is for Northcote Social Club, Northcote VIC

verified email - 08 Jun 2012

I've been to this pub a few times, sometimes to see live music and other times just to enjoy a beer with friends. On all occasions I've found it a great pub. They have some really great bands from around Australia and the world that play there . There isn't a lot of great places to go in the Northcote/Preston area so I found the Northcote Social Club to be a great place to return to. It has a beer garden area for the nicotine dependents and the beer is reasonable priced.

Approximate cost: $5-

This review is for The Coffee Club, Preston VIC

verified email - 06 Jun 2012

Really pleased we found this one! After several fairly ordinary and poor meals (I will not mention the business names), it was a pleasant surprise to sit down in a great little cafe that serves nice coffee and tasty light meals. If I am in Preston again, I will certainly be back here! Cheers
