What a great place to enjoy a few drinks. The food is ok but i think the main reason to go here would be for the drinks. I asked the waitress her opinion on what she could reccommend ordering bad idea I wasn't happy with the dish but luckily I didn't have to pay for it in the end so I didn't leave annoyed and would definately return for drinks.

Pretty much drawn in by the quirky name, I haven't really tried Polish cuisine before so thought we might give it a go. Service was utterly horrid, slow and very unwelcoming and the food wasn't what I was expecting, I found it to be a little bland and watery, though the presentation was really nice and I felt like I was in Europe, that was probably the only positive from the experience.

eastern europian cuisine does not get enough coverage, so its good to see a place like borsh vodka and tears. honestly i don't think their food is that high quality or authentic, but the fact that they have a massive section devoted to vodka wins them a lot of points. plus the decor. its like stepping into an ancient tavern complete with wenches and plenty of alcohol.

i ate here a 3 weeks ago .. The food and cocktails were amazing .. I really Like it ..

Me and my friends had the crepes .. and drinks (list of Vodkas) it is a good place for those who loves Vodka .. excellent!

However, the service was terrible .. it was so hard to get the staff's attention.. we always need to approach the staff to ask for what we need .. it was bad...

Not entirely authentic food as their borsch is not exacly what you would get in Eastern Europe. But it's close enough. It is a little bit tight in the walkways of the restaurant and with their popularity it can be a little bit crowded. Otherwise it's worth going there.

This quirkly little restaurant is a real find. It is in Chapel St in the midst of a buzzing scene with loads of bars and restaurants. The wait staff are very friendly and happy to give advice. My friend and I worked our way through a good number of the starters and loved every one. Although there were a little expensive it was delicious. Next time I'll definitely leave the car at home so I can try some of their cocktails.

Amazing place if you like your vodka! Too many shots to choose from. Food is good and so id the service. Definitely a good place to go to in Melbourne if you want to experience Polish food.

This bustling vodka bar brings you a piece of the old country, with a twist - vodka of course! the food is a blend of traditional polish food, with an australian/international slant and the blintzes with smoked salmon are a beautiful way to begin a leisurely weekend - the crowing glory being the goldfinger (champagne and goldwasser) - we may not all be millionaires, but when you're drinking gold leaf in your champagne, it's easy to pretend...

Love this vodka bar! It has a great atmosphere, a bit rustic and you feel like you can hang out with your friends and spent all night and chat and carry on and get hopelessly drunk with a wonderful collection of all kinds of vodka drinks. Love it. I can't really judge the food we ordered bread with a great selection of dips though
