Not a great selection of wines available by the glass, a very stingy pour and a prickly attitude.... overall underwhelming and wont be returning…

Great vibe and cocktails with a shared menu that’s varied but more hit than miss. Cool tunes and savvy staff with good knowledge of the menu and wines.
Lovely bar. Great service & its particularly nice sitting out the front on a warm night. Food was incredibly rich. The Calabrese salad was by far the best thing we ate. Salmon was also up there with one of the better dishes
My new favourite bar in Melbourne – even if it’s a bit of a hike (or uber ride) from the CBD. The winelist is very interesting, especially the constantly changing wines-by-the-glass, the cocktails are great, and the menu is a daily rotation of amazing morsels. The smaller bites are more interesting and better value than the larger courses – which makes perfect sense given this is a bar first and foremost. The timber panelled ambience (and even the experience of sitting and waiting on the stairs) is one of the best in Melbourne, and the awesome music (proper records and a valve amp) makes for a perfect evening out.
I love Geralds bar for the vino – obviously: their range of wines, which change regularly, means youre spoiled for choice and I always have to ask what I should have. Luckily, the recommendations of the bar staff are amazingly prophetic: Im pretty sure theyre psychic as I always get exactly what I feel like!
Forget your old school sav Blancs and the like (which they probably have, I just never get them), this is the place to go international or try something local, layered and amazing that you wont get at your local wine of the day watering hole. Geralds is an educational experience if you like good wine!
I wouldnt go pas the food here either. Although I normally go after dinner on the weekend, juicy marinated olives are a staple, but for this pescatarian their a-l-carte menu has a lot of great choices on tapas and small plates. And the desserts are pretty special too. Then theres the music, the museum of popular iconography that makes for the coolest decor. Whats not to like? Go there – just dont steal my seat under the stairs!
I was really looking forward to dinner here. Maybe I expected too much? Positives – lovely, romantic atmosphere, extensive wine list, friendly waitress. Could improve the degustation however. It was rather bland and I left feeling pretty hungry. There was also quite a wait between courses.
Great drinks, awesome music, relaxed vibe, friendly people, cosy setting and an amazing menu that changes almost daily. Places this polished are rare enough in the CBD, and virtually non-existent outside of it. Makes you feel fortunate to live in Carlton North.
Gerald’s Bar – is fabulous, a great bar that serves seasonal food in a space where you feel like your visiting an old friend. Staff are incredible, really knowledgeable and passionate with a cheekiness that I love. The booze is always great, always drinking interesting wines and cocktails made by pros.
