The Toff

Great little venue for catching a live performance. I haven't checked out the dining area, but was fortunate enough to enjoy a great evening in the band room. Area is not huge, but also not cramped. I would call it intimate. I thought it's the perfect space to catch a gig. I would absolutely be back next time there's a show on at the Toff.

The female bar tender pictured on the left was racist and frankly unprofessional in the way she spoke to our group of friends. We had tried to follow up on a cocktail order after waiting more than 15mins when all the other customers were quickly receiving their orders. In a stern tone, she blatantly responded “You people are always so impatient!”. She then proceeded to whisper to the other bartenders in what I can only assume to be an act to make us wait even longer. She needs to lose her racial superiority complex when tending to customers of a darker skin tone. I informed the bar manager on duty that night but they weren’t interested in looking into this matter nor apologising for the delays in our drink orders. This experience ruined what could have been a great night in Melbourne. I feel uncomfortable for individuals who have had to experience any kind of racist slander from her. Management please step up. The public will keep you accountable. Looking forward to a response soon.

Attended here as part of the Melbourne Comedy festival. This is one of Melbourne's hidden gems tucked away inside Curtin House on the 2nd level. Disability access is easy with ramps and a lift! Perfect setting for a quick drink before the show in one of the dimmly lit booths or a quick bite of the Thai inspired menu. Staff are polite, helpful and knowledgeable and quick to assist with accessible seating for wheelchair and walker patrons. Overall 5 stars and a great place to visit with a wonderful vibe!
