GUESTS SAY:
Everyone was really happy about the food and the wine. A big thank you to Babines Jules x 2 for the prep with the printed notes and the brilliant adaptability. It was great to be able to host a corporate tasting and the room and atmosphere was the perfect fit!
I would be very keen to organise something similar in future at Babines wine tasting or not, I think your space has a lot of potential!
— CustomerWhen we were looking for the perfect 'Afterparty' venue for our wedding recently we needed to secure a space that was intimate enough for all our guests to interact with each other easily but also special enough to feel like we were treating our guests to a unique, private and creative space that had amazing service and that treated all of our guests with attention and respect.
The 'Juliens' and all the staff went above and beyond to create exactly the right feel and atmosphere for this very special night for us.
We could not imagine any better venue in the world than Babines Ballroom for our Wedding Afterparty and have the biggest gratitude to the 'Juliens' and all the staff for creating the most amazing experience for our event!
— Customer (PB + NP)This is definitely my favourite place in the city, been many times, can't rate it highly enough. A Bar with superbly crafted cocktails a small but well considered menu packed with amazing local produce and great music (often a touch of soul and funk in there).
The drinks are so good I also had to try a non alc one as flavours sounded amazing and they were (the Kojo based one). Wine list is also excellent. Design and fitout also very meticulous, always feels comfy and the service is exactly what you want to make U feel like a regular even when coming in from Lilydale. Open late a perfect place to finish your night or start it if going clubbing. Highly recommeded
