The Toff

We went on a Thursday and had great surprise of free live music. Different groups with different style the whole night until late

I usually love The Toff, but last night’s experience was really disappointing. The man and woman behind the left bar seemed disinterested in serving, in particularly the man who stared at us with a salty look while we stood at the bar to order – I wasn’t even sure if he was bar staff initially due to his lack of willingness to serve

Eventually I had to ask if I could order, and the response was a disgruntled nod as though we were hugely inconveniencing him. Thankfully, I only ordered a gin otherwise I’d be upset spending $24 on a cocktail for such poor service.

It was possibly some of the worst service I’ve encountered in a long time. Hopefully it was just an off night but shouldn’t excuse such lackluster service.

On a positive note, the person who later checked my ticket was absolutely delightful.

First time visiting The Toff. The man working the door was incredibly rude and dismissive. We were unaware there was a ticketed event and would have preferred the man explain this to us (which would have taken 2 seconds) over taking one look at us and denying us entry without providing any reasoning. Not a big loss though! There are plenty of other bars in Melbourne with door staff that have a basic understanding of customer service and the importance of making a good first impression. Don’t let the Toff waste your time or ruin your confidence !

An intimate afternoon with Teddy Swims. It was sooooo hot and cramped. Couldn’t see much so took pics up high. Not the best venue for something that was popular. Needed levels or ALL seating or the stage higher.
Although it was my first time at this venue, I had a fantastic time and I can see the potential for other performers, it just didn’t suit visibility for this performer.

One level up Curtin house and as my friend said, prices went up by one dollar lol. We got a small booth and did a few shots and cocktails. Fries were $8, and a reasonable portion, which was cheap. Male bartender was friendly, female not so much. The booth has a bell you can push to place orders. Toilets had crude graffiti but clean. Accessible by lift as well as stairs.
