Reviews for Harlow Bar
Ashlee Jayde
I attended a birthday dinner at Harlow in Richmond on a lovely Saturday evening in March. We were seated on the balcony, which was the perfect spot to watch the sun go down over the outdoor area. Our group had a couple of long tables to spread out, and there was a TV at the end of the balcony along with easy access to the bar, where we grabbed plenty of drinks throughout the night. The location is great, just a short walk from East Richmond Station and close to the city. Harlow has a really welcoming vibe, with heaps of space both indoors and out. There are DJ booths and dance floors downstairs, function spaces upstairs, and a bistro and bar area on the main level where we were dining. We ordered drinks when we arrived, I got a well made lemon lime bitters and a beer for my girlfriend, which she really enjoyed. We used the QR codes at the table to order food and went with a serve of chips and the pork belly bao. The chips were pretty standard, but the bao was a standout. My girlfriend and a few others at our table absolutely loved it and it quickly became a group favourite. What I really loved about Harlow was how versatile the venue is. Whether you’re there for a casual meal, drinks with mates, or a night out dancing, it caters for all of it. The place is full of cosy nooks and open areas to relax or celebrate with friends and family. While we were there, the dance floor downstairs really started to pick up, adding to the atmosphere. There’s also a rooftop area and spaces upstairs for private functions, which looked great. I’d definitely recommend visiting if you’re in Richmond. It’s got a great energy, the location is super convenient, and I’m really keen to go back and try the boozy brunch I’ve heard so much about. Harlow is a top spot worth checking out for your next night out or weekend catch up.

We attended the rooftop drag brunch. It was 37 degrees and their sunshade kept automatically opening due to "malfunctioning". This meant we were sitting in direct sun on a very hot day in Melbourne summer. We had to ask multiple times for our water to be replenished and for more drinks to be given to us. The service was honestly very poor, probably due to being understaffed I assume. Our particular server was very dismissive of our concerns. I eventually asked for the manager after our multiple concerns were ignored. He was great and suggested we move the tables out to move partially out of the sun which somewhat worker, however this was at the end of the experience. This resulted in multiple people getting sun burn, some people feeling nauseaus and one person getting mild heat stroke. Considering this is a rooftop venue in Australia, there should be contingencies for hot days like yesterday. Another staff member later asked if anyone offered us sunscreen which did not happen. The music was far too loud, you have to constantly shout at people the whole time to be able to hear each other. I personally won't be coming back however I'm sure in cooler weather it would be better. Though I truly don't believe the bottomless drinks was worth $79pp considering no one could taste any alcohol and no one left feeling even tipsy. Positives: The manager was lovely and the woman downstairs was also really nice. The one server on the rooftop with piercings was also very lovely and apologetic. The food was great.

The venue had a great vibe, with a lovely rooftop area. The food was decent, though it was pretty typical of pub fare.

Overall fantastic seats on the rooftop, catchy music, lively atmosphere. The staff were lovely, especially Manny who served us. The food we ordered were decent, the fish was a bit too dry for my liking. The sparkling and cocktail are delicious, I was satisfied.
