Loved staying here for my birthday. They were kind and allowed me to have a few girls in my room to get ready for the big night out. The art is strange and some people didn't like it.. but hey; it creates conversation and I like that. The service was good and the room was a really good size. I would certainly stay again. The bed is comfy too.

Approximate cost: $200

This place is great value for money and brilliant for those hungry afternoons when you are meeting up with a mate for a drink and a pizza.

Always a great and welcome suggestion to go here.

The pizza's are not particularly special; but they are for the money. You order at the bar and pretty much look after yourself... but no problem with that is there?

I had a birthday dinner here and I felt like they went the extra mile to make it special. The venue is amazing; the food was great; and they had good honest recommendations about how much food we needed. Margarita Mondays on my birthday was a great special at only $10 each. We stayed until close. :-)

These guys are working towards a great cause. I always shop here as I support the ideals of ethical meat eating and they always serve with a smile. Top quality meats.. doesn't get any better than this.

Best asian fusion ever. Love the venue, the food is amazing and I can never decide what to get.. but the soft shell crab is my favourite. Amazing Pho, spring rolls... it's all great. Service is chilled out and friendly and there when you need it. Great value and a good place to have a few drinks too.

Love this place. They always have interesting specials; great vibe suiting catching ups with friends. It is a quirky and artistic venue that is a Melbourne institution. Friendly service; delicious food, good value for money and overall great place.

This review is for The Flamingo Bar, South Yarra VIC

There were several issues with the function held here. The catering was delivered two hours late; leading some guests to need to leave to buy food; and then about half the food we bought was not consumed. A prewritten agreement also detailed in their function brochure that no bar tab is necessary and guests expenditure can contribute to the bar minimum. We agreed in writing to split the total bar minimum between guests expenditure and a bar tab of a specified amount. On the night they claimed that guests expenditure could not count and claimed we had to pay entire minimum spend; even when we referred to written document. they refused to provide an invoice. It was very stressful for me on the night to have issues such as these and approximately an hour was spent trying to talk to the manager to get him to understand the issues; which could not be resolved as he would not consider or go over the the written agreement with me. We followed up by emailing the function manager and she admitted that their had been an error in communication but said she could not do anything to rectify the situation.
