Our internal space is perfect for all occasions and events. Scattered skylights fill the plant-filled space with natural light during the day, giving the perfect ambiance for today time events. At night, with the lights dimmed and candles flickering, the venue can appear intimate despite it's size. The space is flexible so even though we are able to hold a large capacity, you are not required to commit to a full or even half venue hire (unless you want to). We will simply adjust the space to the size of your event. The space can be suited to large canape functions, but we can also host large sit-down dinners or convention-style events. The front half of the venue provides great access to the bar for drinks and casual service. Our flexible space means we can react to your needs with extra table and chairs if necessary, gift tables, space for large floor decorations. Even areas for kids to play, just ask.

Reviews for Northside Wines
J Retired from the kitchen
NORTHSIDE WINES, NORTHCOTE When I say perfect, I mean PERFECT. From the kind of impeccable service that makes you feel instantly welcome... to food that genuinely had us silent at the table because every bite was that good. And just in time for the silly season, they've launched the $49pp Bottomless Small Plates Festive Menu - and honestly, it's the pre-Christmas treat you didn't know you needed. Unwrap a present or two, clink your glasses, share plates & savour the moments, with that cosy Northside buzz that makes everything feel extra special. Gather your friends, your work crew, or your favourite festive troublemakers — this is the spot to celebrate. Book it before it books out. Your December plans just upgraded. "More visuals from this experience, including a short video, can be found on my Instagram @retiredfromthekitchen."

Exceptional food with vibrant flavours paired beautifully with a thoughtful wine list. Very attentive and warm service made the entire dining experience feel sophisticated, relaxed, and memorable. Northside wines is a must visit dining establishment in Melbourne.
The Gollys
Anyone that has read any review I write it's really rare I give under 5⭐️ I had read about the bottomless $49 per head for small plates tapas online. From the minute we sat down we were told the conditions of this menu. They were as follows : you have 1.5 hours. But they select the first 5 choices and bring them to you slowly. Then only after you complete those. You can choose and order any others. By the time we were served the 5 dishes we had been there one hour and 20 minutes. The waitress who was lovely apologised and said order what you like sorry we were slow. So we ordered the small plates oysters. She proceeded to tell us they weren't included. So we ordered three more things and that's was all. The food was very average. No dish stood out. The chicken they chose as one of the dishes was really undercooked so we didn't eat it. We let her know and she came back and said the chef checks the temperature and they are all done perfectly. That's fine but the table next to us that was a large group left all there 4 chickens as well. The place was packed with various functions. So it was extremely loud. For us we wouldn't return. I will say that the lady that served us was lovely and professional. For three of it was $190 and we had one glass of wine and two mocktails. I would suggest if you go to choose your own or do the two courses rather than the bottomless. Out of all the dishes the ceviche was our favourite

Highly recommend a visit to Northside Wines. We opted for the bottomless Christmas in July small plates menu, paired with some wines recommended by Jacob. It was lovely to sample a variety of food and wines (the whipped feta and tomato dish were definitely the stand outs for me!). The service from the staff is excellent and we felt extremely welcomed from the moment we arrived. Sam was attentive and very knowledgeable about the dishes and wine pairings! We will definitely be back :)!!

Such a cute little wine bar, although my experience with the food was not fantastic. We went with the bottomless small plates option as it seemed like good value for 6 of us. It was weird we couldn’t pick our first 5 dishes. The first set of plates brought out were huge bricks of focaccia and when we couldn’t eat anymore we were met with a bit of eye rolling when asking to take the plates away. All in all the food was pretty average, but a fantastic wine bar experience.
