Reviews for Proud Henry
Lara Hainsworth
We booked the entire Proud Henry Wine Bar & Ginoteca venue for a Saturday night 40th birthday party with 60 guests, and it was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we started organising our party, Coco and Bobby went above and beyond — so welcoming, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making the night special. Their warmth truly made the experience unforgettable. The food was next-level: the catering from Germelli’s paired with Proud Henry’s boujee platters hit the mark for everyone — delicious, generous, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere of the venue is just magic — from the cozy cellar room to the charming bar area and gorgeous beer garden, it honestly felt like we’d been transported to a tucked-away gem somewhere in Europe, not smack-bang in the middle of Fortitude Valley. Highly recommend this place for private functions — the pricing is super reasonable, with everything counting toward your food and drinks tab. Or just swing by for a cheeky cocktail (they’re divine). Five stars, without hesitation.

We recently hosted our End of Year Party at Proud Henry, and it was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, Rob and the team made us feel incredibly welcome. Their attention to detail and ability to accommodate our group was second to none. Special kudos go to Coco, Beth, and Spencer, who absolutely held the fort while my team kept the drinks flowing and the energy high. They were attentive, friendly, and seemed to genuinely enjoy ensuring we had the best time. The drinks? Absolutely divine! Every cocktail and gin we ordered was a testament to the bar’s exceptional quality and creativity. The vibe of the venue was the cherry on top—relaxing jazz beats paired with the cozy old-school pub vibe created the perfect atmosphere for a night of celebration. Every single person in our group had a fantastic time, and it’s safe to say this was one of our year’s highlight. Proud Henry, you’ve set the bar high. Thank you for an unforgettable night!

Had a small event here a few weeks ago. The space out the back is suitable for max 12, best for 10. Excellent service and guided tasting. The pizza as well was on point with the clear care taken for the fungi pizza.

This establishment is one not to be missed! I’m a big fan of gin and there was no disappointment here to be had! I was not sure of what I wanted to drink and I left it to the bar tender, let’s say I was beyond happy! This establishment is not to be missed, come on in and enjoy the quality of the staff here to make the drink your not sure you want!

Had my 40th birthday celebration here. Venue like this you normally only find in Melbourne - cozy, intimate and fun all in one. I reserved the whole venue on a Saturday evening that gave a lot of space for 40 people at peak with ample space for private conversations yet feeling like one big group. The staff team were so attentive and on point throughout the whole event. Bobby from the beginning was very helpful and easy to engage to get everything setup and right. However, later in the evening, I found out she dropped the game due to friend influence and wanting to show off later hence the change in rating 😔 Pizza from Gemelli's were amazing. It might sound like I'm exaggerating but even the guests kept giving compliments about the event! Made it bloody special. If you want a memorable event for a centrally located venue that is a hidden gem, I highly recommend Proud Henry (from someone who has had attended many events to say the least).
