Down an alley off gritty Grey St in St Kilda, georgeLane is a drinker's oasis in unassuming surroundings.

The venue is steeped in Victoriana-meets-Chinoiserie fashion, with ornate wood and velvet chairs, low coffee tables, and Persian rugs, which combine for a warm and inviting elegance. Coupled with the warmly set murals and variety of exotica prints in gilded frames adorning the walls, the dedicated lounge area is glamorous without ever feeling overdone.

The bar itself - reflected best in the house cocktail list, is as inspired as it is individual. Vodka lovers are especially spoiled for choice, most notably by house infusions, and the gin, rum, whiskey, wine and beer options are abundant for discerning tastes. A combined bar experience of over 10 years from owners Nicholas Peters and Hosea Gall personally fulfills your drinking requests with unmatched flair and originality.

Musically, georgeLane commits to a musical stable of feel good funk, soul, beats and breaks artist DJ's that regularly provide the suitable backdrop for sophisticated functions and wild parties alike.

We had our daughters birthday party at the George Lane Bar this weekend and I cannot recommend it more highly. The young guy James that ran it was unbelievable. From finding a lower stool for my elderly mum, to organizing one of the staff to heat the food we provided, nothing was too hard. I was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews on this page but we couldn't be happier. Great venue, great staff, great party,

DO NOT BOOK A FUNCTION AT THIS BAR! My family had this venue booked for an engagement party with a guest list of 130 people, just to arrive and find the venue closed! The owner was rude and offered no explanation to the couple or something as simple as an apology. Not only did we have to arrange a new venue on the spot but we also had 130 people standing out in the rain. An absolute disgrace and no way to run a business.

We had booked the venue until 1am, however at 11:45 they decided to move people out of the main room into the dingy bar area, closing the large doors separating the rooms and giving guests the impression that the function was to finish up at midnight. To make things worse at 12:15 they turned on the lights - another obvious attempt to shoo people out. We ended up leaving our own engagement party early to head out elsewhere.

Furthermore, the staff had a group of their own friends sitting in the corner drinking cocktails all night (on our tab - who knows?!).

The lack of professionalism of the staff was simply appalling. They cared about nothing but us meeting the minimum spend so they could get out of there ASAP.

DO NOT EVER BOOK FOR A PRIVATE FUNCTION.

Very rude barman. He gave me a lecture - manners 101 as I didn't say please when ordering my drink. The decor is comfortable and patrons provide a good atmosphere, but remember your manners.
