Mietta's Review
This bar feels as though it has been around for ages. It hasn't, but that is one of the secrets to its greatness and success. A wonderful space and the perfect spot in Melbourne for those who 'live the night', it's licensed untill 6am on weekends. There's a very extensive wine list, and Cuban cigars.
Other published opinions
The Age Cheap Eats 2008 "The Supper Club's worn floorboards, wizened furniture and mute brown and red tones give the impression it has been around for as long as the State Parliament building that dominates the big bay window view"
The Age Cheap Eats Bars 2007 "The Supper Club's beautiful bay window is as well known to Melburnians as Play School's windows are to anyone who's ever watched TV."
The Age Cheap Eats 2006 Whether your idea of a great night is watching the sun set or seeing it rise, there's no nicer place to do it. This oh-so-civilised eyrie is a venue we keep returning to
The Age Good Food Guide 2006 CBD Bars "One of the first of Melbourne's 'secret' bars, the Supper Club is lush cocoon of leather furniture, cigar smoke and happy conversation. A jawdropping wine list, fortifying bar snacks and rakish opening hours complete the picture."
The Age Cheap Eats 2005 "AH Spring Street! Fusty, fur-hemmed, theatre-going and cigar-smoking. It's the anachronism in the east, where every night's ripe to head up to the club, pass your gloves to the well-versed waiter and sink into a chesterfield under the broad round window."
The Age Cheap Eats 2004 "SHABBY chic Supper Club is host to some of Melbourne's most hedonistic behaviour (oysters and Bollinger, anyone?), yet this intimate, antique-strewn space is equally welcoming if all you want is a quiet tete-a-tete over a glass of Aussie chardonnay."
The Age A3 Melbourne for night owls Tim Richards 12/1/05 "If you want something classier in the wee small hours, this is it. This above-street bar oozes style, with its worn leather sofas and chaise longues in an expansive but intimate wood-panelled room."
The Age (melbourne magazine) Melinda Houston Feb 05 "Climb the stairs, secure a spot in front of the big bay windows, and watch the sky darken and the lights come on over Parliament House and the Treasury Gardens. Or vice versa."
Herald Sun CityStyle Best of Melbourne 04 Best post-show hangouts "Stylish bar with a touch of the old world ... licensed until 6am at weekends"
The Foodies' Guide 2004, Allan Campion & Michele Curtis,'Just about everyone's favourits late-night spot,when you can get in.Either go with someone famous,or try some name dropping to get a table ASAP for some Bolly and enjoy the smoked salmon blini,tzatziki and bread,marinated olives or meatballs.'
The Age Cheap Eats 2004, Good bar,Somewhere really special,'Shabby chic Supper Club is host to some of Melbourne's most hedonistic behaviour,yet this intimate,antique strewn space is equally welcoming if all you want is a quiet tete-a-tete over a glass of Aussie chardonnay.Staff are welcoming, unaffected and knowledgable, adeptly shepherding you through the brilliant book-length wine list.'

Longrain was far hotter than its curries when it lit up the top end of Little Bourke St in late 2005.
Loop Victoria
Late in the evening Loop glows green like kryptonite. With the super forces of good suitably deterred, the path is clear to get down and dirty.
Lounge Victoria
A place for drinking, smoking and checking out the DJs choices. During the day it is quite different - lot sof students reading, playing pool, and eating large good value meals.
