The Collection

I've been here twice for get-togethers organised by my friend who loves this place. On the last occasion I had to come in the early evening with my two small children, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had a few tapas which were amazing! I didn't have any cocktails, but all of the other guests did and they were raving about them.

Apparently they've renovated recently with a new courtyard. I can only imagine that it's even better than before.

Good place for a drink or somewhere nice and ambient to have a drink with friends. Good selection of cocktails and very friendly staff.

great ambience to catch up for a drink and nibble on some of the tapas food. churros to die for. perfect place to start or continue or finish up a night out

Love this place just fantastic! Great staff - and fast food and the drinks are just heaven - this is great with a group of people and good value if you go during happy hour

We just dropped in for a quick drink, but managed to spend a couple of hours there in the end. The bar is warm and cosy and the service was great. Didn't try any food, but the menu looks tempting for next time.

enjoying the ambience in this groovy tapas lounge bar until a very large party came in, celebrating a birthday. Before long we felt like we were being taken over and the party goers were invading our space. We left very quickly. Will go back and give it a second chance though because it has promise.

Approximate cost: $8.50 for a tapas dish

Richmond is probably better known for its pubs, but there are some reliable cocktail bars dotted around the place. The Collection is just such a bar, with the added advantage of a half-decent tapas menu. Settle in and watch a movie, or just watch the world go by.

Approximate cost: $15 per cocktail
