Cherry Bar - AC/DC Lane

Firstly an apology for being so long between blogs. We haven't been to a new bar for a while as lot of us have been away escaping the winter and under end of financial year stress. But we're back and here's our latest review.

For most of us, our memory of the Cherry Bar was that it was home to Melbourne's most stickiest floor - in the words of one of our fellow barhopper "anything that touches said floor should be collected wearing gloves and soaked in antiseptic overnight before reuse".

As we sat back in the couches and got over the stickiness of the floor we soon began to reminisce about our youth and the dingy bars frequented to hear loud alternative rock bands. Appropriately located in AC/DC Lane it's clearly a venue catering to bands or a late night drink on the way home.

The alcohol was good value and the tunes were also pumping, but the temperature was clearly set low to allow optimal mosh-pit action (as in freezing).

Verdict: All in all, not a bad venue, but I think the only time I would ever come back to the Cherry bar would be with a few drinks under my belt or to see a really cool rockband!
