I love the vibe, the music, the people but most of all the food. The chicken popcorn is out of this world, the chips remind me of the chips in London. The empanadas are awesome as well. Love it I recommend this place so much

One of the best Rooftops in Melbourne. Loved the vibes! Food was amazing. My boyfriend said the Parma was one of the best he’s ever had. Staff super lovely. We’ll definitely be back soon!!!

Went to the new social supper Thursday night after being messaged about it by them on insta. Booked early and told them it was for a birthday. They gave us the furthest corner booth. Was told there were drink specials but then there were none available on the night. Food was very very average and took forever even though there was only one other table at that time. Privately spoke to the bar staff about bringing out a cake for my friend (was a surprise) and they agreed they would bring it out at 7.35. Then the waitress came over at 7.40 and asked us what time we wanted the cake 😑 so many good venues in Melbourne that actually take care of you so I wouldn’t rush back! Such a shame as the music was good and has such potential. (Addit - picked up the leftover cake as we left and it was completely melted, clearly hadn’t even put it back in the freezer)

Been plenty of times and the most recent time we came for dinner and drinks. Food and drinks are always yummy! The last time we dined they had slightly changed the menu and the hostess brought out some extra dishes for us to try and give feedback on which was nice. Will continue to return in coming months
