Great bar.. stunning sunsets.. lovely staff.. great cocktails and an array of delightful different beers.. chips are always yum 😋
Kerbray
Cocktails are amazing, food was great, and the small finishing touches with the ice cube branding was a great addition. Food was delicious and there were plenty of options. The overall meal and drinks were quite expensive, but not unreasonable given the quality and service. Staff were great and overall it was really enjoyable.

Booked through the fork as they had special 50% off food. Was pleasantly surprised how good the food was... Also it was very well priced even without discount.. service was good. Full bar so drinks were good too. Will definitely return in future..

Had our advance Valentine's Day celebration. The menu was able to cater for our Keto dietary requirements. We ordered the meat platter, zoodles and some mocktails. Service was good, casual, prompt and attentive. The atmosphere was dark but cozy. For me the most memorable part of our experience was the beef in the meat platter. It was so super tender. Must try it!

If you haven't already definitely book your next date night here!! St Luja is St Kilda's undiscovered haven. Ive been here a few times now and each time I'm continuously wowed! If you haven't been to one of their monthly cocktail degustations and you're a Melbourne foodie like most of us are get amongst it. The first Wednesday of each month Head Chef Allison prepares delicious food paired with cocktails from the boys behind the bar for a once in a lifetime experience never to be had again. They are intimate and attentive. Always amazing service. Great selection of options for dietary needs on their normal menu, incredible cocktails, and brilliant for a function space if in need for a party or wedding. Check it out!!
