Why it's worth checking out
Pre Drinks Bar sits on Commercial Road in South Yarra, one of Melbourne's most stylish and fashionable inner-southern suburbs. A stylish bar, it's earned a near-flawless reputation — the kind of characterful, in-the-know spot that's become a genuine favourite for a quality drink in a great atmosphere.
The appeal is that combination of quality drinks, a relaxed yet stylish setting and a convenient South Yarra location, ideal for a catch-up, a special drink or settling in for the evening — or, as the name suggests, kicking off a night out. A quality bar with genuine character really stands out, and the near-perfect feedback speaks to Pre Drinks getting both the drinks and the atmosphere genuinely right.
A 4.9 rating from more than 170 reviews is an excellent result and a strong endorsement. Drinks lists, any food, opening hours and any events vary, and a popular bar fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed, quality drink in a stylish setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated in South Yarra.
