Section 8 — Restaurant in Melbourne

Coming here since 2006. So many wonderful moments, taking dates here, etc.

You guys are great. I'd love to give this five, but seems to have new management, made it louder than it used to be, less relaxing for me. My friend asked the bar lady why it was so unusually loud (almost like a nightclub) to which the feisty sprite replied: 'cos it's a bar'. Should Douglas Adams amend Hitchhiker's '42' to 'cos it's a bar', also, since this fundumental law explains so much, that we cannot otherwise fathom? I do not see how or why you have tried to tinker with perfection?

Also why put the DJ in the middle like that? It turns a hangout into a music bar. He was better off in the corner! Also, a few weeks ago, I heard DJ music which was not up to the usual section 8 standard, which appalled me, since you are always so awesome! It was repetitive and boring. You guys used to be non stop funky! THE BEST!

Today there was sand on the floor. Huh? Really sorry to be picky, but for the above reasons, you lose one star from an otherwise utterly lawless record of entertainment...

The tall gangly white guy with glasses who was wearing a beanie working on Wednesday june 12 needs to either work on his customer service skills or just stay home. I hardly ever write google reviews but this guy made me feel horrible. After ignoring me waiting at the bar another staff memeber then alerted him that I was waiting when he turned around he rolled his eyes and they both burst out laughing as if it was the biggest invonvenience that (god forbid) there would be someone trying to order a drink at a bar. This made me extremely uncomfortable after I ordered the drink the guy proceeded to do everything with the biggest attitude. Again I’m not one to write reviews but I was made to feel so uncomfortable we left straight after. The laughing? The eye rolling? The rude attitude when I was just ordering a drink? Ridiculous! I understand everyone has bad days but just do your job or stay home. You are a bartender so don’t make people feel weird for wanting a...

Staff are rude and obnoxious. Went earlier in the day and bar staff were great, security and dj were good. Walked past at 11:30, asked to take a quick picture of the drinks menu as the drink I got earlier was nice. The staff w9ere all sat down and a man in a checked shirt repeatedly shouted no at me, without listening to what I was asking. When I politely explained I didn't want to buy a drink I just wanted a photo of the menu, he was extremely rude. Based on this experience alone, despite the good vibe of the bar, I would not return as I was treated horribly. Given that the reason I returned was to specifically tell other people about the nice cocktail I got there and spread good word about the bar, but now I will be doing the opposite and warning people off. I can't understand why you wouldn't want to look after someone who would be a...
