V. W.

Super cool and casual vibe. Love it!! The staff are incredible knowledgeable and give such good advices and explanations. I had the Absinthe which was a great experience, full of flavour. I do recommend this place!

V. S.

Beautiful and friendly staff working in this hidden bar. You will feel that you have been there few times. They will mix some of great flavors and drinks for you, just tell them what would like (taste). Thanks 🙏

S. O.

I’d been wanting to go here for so long! Finally did and wasn’t disappointed. Awesome ambience, lovely staff and delicious food.

L. M.

This place is cool. Not a hidden bar (the room behind is close cause--covid) The cocktails are good but no "girly" cocktails for novices peoples. Not really a hidden bar but it's a good place for cocktails !

t. j.

Izzy, Ben and raj were so awesome, such a great bar definitely coming back, the staff were so great and honestly are the reason I wanna come back :)

T. O.

After leaving a nearby downstairs venue early due to service issues, we tried this place on a whim. Wow. First class service from the wait staff, very knowledgeable on all drinks on offer. Stayed for a few rounds and had a lovely time. Will recommend, and will be back for certain. Amazing place for the full absinthe experience too, full water dispensers and sugar spoons. The wait staff will step you through the process if unfamiliar, but are also wise enough to spot a patron who knows what they are doing ;) Lovely way to spend an evening.

A. T. Y.

Had dinner and absinthe at this place and it was great! We went there as a group of 4 and each of us ordered different things from the menu and we enjoyed all of the food. We got wine and absinthe and it was a very cool experience. The staff was wonderful at explaining how we ought to drink the absinthe, he have us a short demonstration. I would have given this place five stars if not for the price. It's still a great place and i would recommend this place.

V. L.

Great cosy bar with amazing atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent drinks at a good price. Highly recommended...

J.

Good food, good people and I have had fantastic times. Nothing better for a late night quality feed, and people that know how to make a good cocktail just as well as they know how to sling beers and wine.

k. h.

love coming here after work - Barney is amazing and always the perfect amount of professional and friendly, he always creates a memorable experience, impeccable service and love coming back here especially when he is in

S. D.

Nice atmosphere, good drinks. The waiter was helpful and attentive to a level bordering on precognition. Also, dressed like Hunter S. Thompson. Drinks a little on the pricey side, but worth it.

e. b.

Tip these guys well! They’re all legends but Izzy is my favourite!

B. V.

One of my very favourite bars in the Melbourne CBD. It oozes cool with an arty eye for decor and lighting. Coupled with friendly and knowledgeable staff, you have cool without pretension, a combination so many places in town just don't know how to carry off. The variety of beverages is broad and for those who want to do the absinthe thing, this place is definitely for you. On this last visit we didn't eat, but every time we ate on previous visits, the food was fantastic.

S. S.

Found this bar almost by accident, but so glad we did! Great atmosphere and waitstaff were personable and helpful (Barney, we're talking about you!). Loved it so much we came back the next night with friends.

R. E.

Unearthly range of Absinthe. Helpful, friendly staff - skilled with shaker & spoon. Beautifully outfitted interior.

A. M. (.

Amazing bartender mr Barney Good Service and a lovely drinks He is legend

M. H.

Have the Buster Keaton. It's a great cocktail.

S. P.

Let’s be honest. This is a go too when in Melbourne. The short stubby man with the mad hat is extremely knowledgeable, kind and friendly with exceptional customer service skills. The choice of spirits is out of this world and they all know absinthe like Mormans know the bible. The staff are a dedicated friendly bunch. For all the one star reviews here it’s time to pull the shot glass out of your arse’s and come back to reality. No point writing a review of a venue or a staff member when clearly someone isn’t on top of there game. What happened to R U OK

B. H.

An amazing bar. The drinks are just out of this world and the bar tender is so knowledgeable. Would recommend this to anyone.

M.

Staff are always so nice. Their cocktail is awesome at the same time, their selection of wines and beers are also amazing.

G. R.

Cozy place with a great Absinthe selection. The staff is very friendly, helpful and honest if you have any questions regarding all their liquors.

H.

Absinthe and aperitifs are the specialty at this hidden tripped out joint but don’t think that doesn’t mean you can’t find a healthy selection of gins and other spirits. Also known for their signature cocktails, tasty small bites and late hours, this place is the bomb. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and love a chat about anything awesome service, we had the killer absinthe which was the ultimate trip highly suggest you check it out. This place is so lit

J. E.

I really like this place open late. Great service and lots of people come and go.

J. B.

Tried a couple of the signature cocktails and wasn't too impressed by it. The espresso cocktail was quite nice though but nothing out of the ordinary. Whatever the name of their blue drink is basically a shot of vodka and blue Gatorade so give that one a skip if you see it.

B. M.

Wonderful place to any alcohol or coffee. Unique mood bar ever.

V. R.

Great little bar tucked away in a lane. Staff was friendly and willing to make cocktails not listed on the menu. If you are peckish there are small bites available. Funky, industrial interior with an outside area.

K. A.

Great venue. The people who work there are lovely and its got such a great range of cocktails and spirits. One of my favourite laneways bars in Melbourne

B. K.

Great beer and cosy little bar where you can also get a tasty burger. I liked this spot and the art on the walls is awesome.

y. h.

Great little central cocktail bar tucked off a side street. Tasty food.

T.

This place is pretty cool, the service is excellent and friendly. We ordered a special negroni each called a Rosetto which was absolutely delicious. It was made so well, and it went down a treat. Happy days! Previous email review July 2016 I love this little bar. It used to be my favourite place in the city and it still holds really fond memories for me. The service is always spot on, really personable, friendly and efficient. I've tried many drinks here but this is the first time that. I've tried a coffee. I was feeling a little weary after shopping and the coffee here was perfect. My strong latte was creamy, good froth and warm, so I could drink it straight away! Ahh my perfect coffee haha This is always a great place to visit when you are up this end of town. And I'm so happy that the service and the atmosphere hasn't changed.

J. D.

Great place to unwind and maybe try something you haven't tried before! Excellent service!

P. W.

Absinthe bar with an interior Fritz Lang would be happy with.

T. B.

This could be you celebrating.

S. K.

The best thing about this place is that it is open till 3am every single day. Plus one of the very few places where the kitchen is also open till late for some great snacks. Try croquettes and chicken sandwich for sure

A. H.

I absolutely love this bar. Don't judge it by it's small size. These guys know how to use every cm of space. Industrial decor. Take your favourite sparky here! Great selection of liquors at the bar. Always at least one experienced bartender who can find a drink that suits. Cute and clean private toilets. Also a nice hidden area in back along hallway that connects to gin palace.

J.

Wow, I was absolutely blown away by the cocktails here. You give the bartenders your go to spirit and palette and they will deliver in more ways than you can imagine!! I have never drank that many DELICIOUS spicy concoctions in one place! Bar Ampere has my vote as one of the best cocktail bars in Melbourne. Oh and did you know they have a beautiful hidden room in the back with fairy lights and a piano that turns into a bar?! 😉 Couldn’t be more impressed by this place! Thank you for blessing our taste buds and showing us a good time!!

E.

Gorgeous little bar, and they serve absinthe 😋

L. H.

Drinks were really really great, as you can see it didn't last long I ordered an aviation a not from the menu drink, and the staff were awesome!! I've only taken 1 star off because although it is wheelchair accessible there is a table in the space, which means anyone sat there has to get up to let you in. Thankfully the staff being lovely helped and the people were nice, it could be really awkward with the wrong people.

a. b.

OMG other bars should be ashamed! We have enjoyed cocktails in other joints but, this is a whole new level. These drinks were potent and so much better value for money. Felt like I was in Paris or Budapest. Always loved Absinthe but never knew you could do so much with it.

B. C.

My favourite bar in the city. Pricey, but worth every dollar. The cocktail menu is always changing and the servers ask your opinions on the drinks they make. They are incredibly knowledgeable about what they're serving and will make sure you get the best. Love the décor and the music.

J. B.

Great cocktails, tucked away in an alley. Definitely recommend!

S. B.

Nice place for a drink and a nibble, but understaffed. Took forever to get our order taken, didn't get a menu, and then waited ages to order again, to the point where it was too late and we left. But drinks were good, and staff were good, but does need more staffing on busy weekend nights.

F. M.

Always a lively vibe, have frequented Bar ampere for a few years now and have not had a bad cocktail or expirenece. The staff have gone out of there way a many times. The chef has hooked me up with a cheese tomato toasty off menu just because I was craving one. They've got a good selection of spirits and the absinthe fountains are a nice little novelty to share with your mates. Don't know anywhere else in Melbourne that takes it to that level. Would definatly reccomend to any looking for a life night tipple, some snacks and a decent cocktail

j. l.

Amazing and creative twist on Negroni's.. funky and inviting... would definitely recommend!

R. D.

Great Bar, an old favourite from last year. Do a micro bar crawl through the Swamp into Gin Palace. Friendly staff great cocktails! Each place has a speciality (Absinthe, Whiskey/Moonshine, Gin). Lose an evening to pleasure!

N. V.

A cosy mid-century inspired bar with some rough industrial edges. Been here a few times and loved the service, cocktails and the atmosphere. Will definitely come again.

J. D.

A very trendy bar. We went there when it just open. The bartender said it gets busy late at night. Nice murals. A good range of beverages and nice nibbles.

M. T. C.

More hip than my usual destinations, but cosy, friendly, and with an interesting (!) drinks selection. Have given it four stars but am keeping the fifth star in pocket, and will report back once I check it out when it's busy. Well recommended - this is what Melbourne's about. Nice job, team.

I. P.

This is a intimate little absinthe bar that has stylings like Spanish bar. The space is small and intimate, so seating can be a bit scarce. There is a decent drink option, but absinthe is definitely the specialty. The staff are great at picking out the right type of absinthe and giving a good guide of how it is best consumed.

A. N.

Come here for the experience! It's a mix of classy and casual. The graffiti is a nice piece of art on the walls. Try the Absinthe which comes in a glass, sugar and some icy water in a glass jar in a stand. Cocktails are tops! Highly recommended

G. R.

The selection of Absinthe is just incredible. The staff is very nice, and kindly, they will give you an explanation of how to drink it for a better experience. They also have another options of liquors and spirits.

M. W.

I was doing a meander around a very wet central Melbourne primarily looking at street art as so much new street art work had been put up in April in the "Meeting of Styles". When I saw this bar it looked just right for lunch! Great interior decoration, amazing view of a huge paste up by "Baby Guerilla" and it turned out the food was pretty good as well:) I had duck crepes. I will be back :) Service was prompt and friendly. The range of drinks is impressive with some quite unusual varieties available!

B. C.

Great little bar, good cocktails and friendly staff.

J. L.

As a Negroni die-hard, a drinks list with 5 different varieties of Negroni is enough for 5 stars. Only wish I could add a couple more for the delicious bar food and excellent service 🤩

n. n.

i have visited this place 2 times. i love the beer, its very special. i recommend this to all my friend as the best beer everr. staff also quite friendly. i will surely give another 100x visits.

A. L.

Fantastic and knowledgeable staff! kiem was delightful and definitely knows her stuff! Whiskey sours on point!

R. J.

The first place i have come across where the bartender Girish is more of a friend than a person who works for his salary 110% Customer satisfaction. Ladies keep an eye out. Kayla is a very soft and open person once you get to know her. The ambience that these 2 can create is better than going to a 5 star restaurant. End of the day we look forward to a person who treats you more than an individual.

A. F.

Came here with some mates and loved it. The bartender was great and the drinks were just as good. Definitely a place worth visiting for a good drink.

B. A.

Nice little bar with cool vibe and a good range of Vermouth on offer

S. S.

Good selection of gin and whiskey. Outdoor patio door smoking is available if you're into that. The tapas looked spectacular, can't wait to go back.

J. K.

Very good cocktails really nice staff would highly recommend to anyone that wants a good Melbourne experience

J. M. (.

Tiny tucked away bar, ideal date spot but gets busy. Great drink menu and reasonably priced. With not many seats, avoid peak times.

I. C.

Small quiet cocktail bar. Good place for a quiet drink and chat. No sign outside that says it is the Amphere bar. Only reason we knew we were there was from the menus!

N. G.

Cool place but less crowded than we wished for

F. P.

A cosy place with good atmosphere and good rinks. There is food available even later in the evening; I was happy with what I got. I would recommend

K. W.

Small but cozy and laid back. Perfect for groups or a drink with a date. Plenty of selection to suit everyone. Table service and staff are super friendly :)

M. B.

If you like absinthe or you've always wanted to experience it. This place is the best. Great variety of absinthe, amazing staff and good food( a bit expensive though).

M. M.

Nice atmosphere and drinks. Also connects through to the swamp and gin palace. It’s like three different cities in one place!

A. G.

If you haven't been to Ampere and just walked in and said "fark, this place is cool", hi fived Ryan, had a double burger and thought to yourself "yes, this is a bit of alright" then you haven't done Melbourne right.

D. M.

Cool little bar with intimate unpretentious vibe. Feeling European vibes here

P. M.

Easily one of my favourite bars in Melbourne. Great staff, awesome drinks, cool location.

O. G.

Small space, though the finer beer is to die for. Wish they would make the balcony or Lakeway smoke free. The potato cubes are good too!

T. P.

Beautiful Laneway bar with great staff and an incredible atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend

J. B.

Fantastic cocktails and delicious food. Must try croquettes.
