Came into the city on a tuesday for the $24 steak deal which includes a porter house with homemade mushroom sauce, French fries and salad with a pot of wine. There is not much street parking in the area, paid street parking is available, QV and Melbourne Central also have paid parking available. This is located on little lonsdale st in Melbourne CBD next to Kumo Desserts. The vibe of the pub/ restaurant is a very industrial feel. The music is good and not too loud. The taste of the steak was of good quality, only one sauce was allowed, and they couldn't offer an extra sauce on their system (even though I said I'd pay extra) otherwise it was an enjoyable experience.

Diesel Bar has its ups and downs. The alcohol is very expensive, which was disappointing and made it hard to fully enjoy the evening. The toilets were dirty and definitely needed more frequent cleaning and maintenance. On the bright side, the DJ did a great job. They played some fantastic Bollywood songs right when a group of South Asians started dancing, which really energized the atmosphere and made the night more enjoyable. Additionally, they offer hookah, which added to the experience for some guests. Overall, it's an okay spot if you're looking for a fun time with good music and hookah, but it could definitely improve in terms of cleanliness and pricing.

Not a bad place for dinner. Walked past a couple of times and was always wondering why they have security but this place turns into a nightclub after 10. We came for dinner and we’re positively surprised by the kindness and attentiveness of the staff. They have happy our drinks and a basic but satisfying menu. Both entrees were good but could have been hotter. Especially the pita bread was cold. Parma and Wagyu burger was nice and tasty. Drinks were fairly price and especially attractive during Happy Hour. Again, staff was one of the loveliest of ever seen.

I recently had an unforgettable evening at Diesel with my colleagues. The atmosphere was lively and the music was fantastic, creating the perfect ambiance. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the food and drinks were top-notch. A special shoutout to the manager, Sebastian, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. His attentiveness and helpfulness truly made our experience outstanding. Highly recommend!

I went to Diesel Bar on the weekend for a catch up dinner + drinks with the boys and was absolutely blown away by not only the food and cocktails but the service from both staff members Joao and Kai! They were really nice and helpful by recommending us food and drinks. Kai was very informative with our order and was very attentive. Highly recommend, will definitely be back.
