Why it's worth checking out
Ellora sits on Fitzroy Street in St Kilda, near the gateway to one of Melbourne's most famous beachside suburbs. A stylish, well-regarded bar, it's earned a strong reputation — a clear sign of a venue delivering on both the drinks and the atmosphere, and a genuine standout on a lively St Kilda strip.
The appeal is that combination of quality drinks and a polished, characterful setting in a great location near the beach, ideal for a catch-up, a special night out or settling in for the evening. In an area with plenty of options, building a strong following speaks to a venue that delivers on both the drinks and the vibe.
With a 4.7 rating from around 600 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Drinks lists, any food offering, opening hours and pricing change, and a popular St Kilda bar fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed drink in a stylish setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated near the St Kilda beachfront.
