I always have a wonderful experience when visiting the Blind Lion. The atmosphere, Hostess, staff, music, food are all top notch. I highly recommend if you are searching for a great place to go for an evening out.
The Blind Lion is a really hip place to visit. My band Vince Love and The Soul Cats performed there December 29th and we fell in love with everything about it. Food, drinks, the friendly wait staff, etc..
This place is a local gem, the best kept secret. Seriously where else will you have such an intimate ambiance with only a few rows of tables and undoubtedly world-level musicians playing right in front of you.
The food comes from the American Pub downstairs that has an amazing menu and some of the best wood-fire pizzas, burgers, gourmet salads in the area.
We can’t wait to be back, it was a date night unlike any other. Thank you for bringing and sharing culture in Melbourne. 🔥🎷
Only comment is: it would add extra class to the place if waitresses had an elegant dress code. Such elevated cultured experience requires nothing else. 💃🏻The service was wonderful though.
Seating was a bit tight, and there was no room for dancing. Service with keeping an eye on drink refills could improve. Only one small unisex bathroom. However, everyone was very friendly, and we enjoyed the intimate and chill atmosphere. Entertainment was awesome, and the food was great, too. We will be back.
Nice cozy jazz lounge in a great location! Rotating live music throughout the month, our show started at 8pm sharp on Saturday. There’s no cover fee to get in, but they do have a two drink/item minimum. The food menu is from the pub downstairs which had great options (Pub Americana). We had the pizza (dough imported from New York) and veggie dumplings, both were very tasty. Will definitely be back to check out another set of live music!
The food is amazing(we had the BBQ chicken pizza, and the Mac and cheese both were excellent) The vibe is so cool!The Monday night and Thursday night comedy shows are a must! Get your tickets in advance because they sell out!
Cool, quaint, small venue Jazz club. We loved our date! Good food and drinks. Hayley took care of us and has HANDCRAFTED SPECIALTY DRINKS SHE CREATES, and the Jazz band was great ! We will DEFINITELY be back again!! LOVE THE SMALL VENUE (Like maybe 30 people). Such perfect and intimate setting.
Service was great. Food was good. The atmosphere was awesome. The band, Robby King Band, was amazing!! Highly recommend.
Just went here on Friday after they reopened and was super impressed with the cleanliness and new carpet. Felt like a new place. Awesome music and service too!
Great food and atmosphere. Loved the live music Friday night.
This place is pretty good. They have bands and or comedy shows go on up stairs. Food was pretty good and drinks good.
Cozy, dark, little upstairs bar. Had a live band on a Friday night that got a few brave souls on the dance floor.. We ordered some of the froo-froo drinks (key lime something). Tasted more sophisticated than I'd have expected. Spoke to the bar tender at closing and I was impressed with her knowledge of the cocktail craft and her dedication to making solid, creative drinks.
Update: Returned a couple weeks later. Another great band. Tried the bartender's evening 'special' concoction and it was divine!
