Lily Blacks

This place is a must visit for anyone who enjoys nice and cozy bars with friendly service.

We had two staff serving our table. The first person was nothing to write home about (don’t get me wrong, he didn’t do anything bad and was a very good server. It’s just that server number two went above and beyond just outshining everyone). Then the second server comes to our table and start explaining about the drinks and the menu and point out crowd favourites. This is Melbourne hospitality ⭐

The drinks were well made and presented well. Quality on every step.

Highly recommended spot for a cheeky drink.

LOVED this Parisienne cocktail bar. The drinks are immaculate and so is the vibe. Had the best time with my mates on last Saturday. I will visit again.

Met a friend here last night and had a lovely time. The space is charming, the staff friendly, and the small shareable dishes were tasty - & for those that like something a little off the beaten path, the lounge is tucked in a laneway with no signage 😎

I'm not a drinker, but this place serves beautiful drinks of every kind at the expansive bar. The non-alcoholic range is fantastic as well, with most classics available and their limited selection of specials such as the "new" old fashioned (pictured). The staff have fantastic service and a good joke around whilst making your drinks, and the candle lit atmosphere is great for sitting back for a talk among friends. A fantastic little find.

This place is the big sloppy wet kisses of cocktails. Always a delectable, delicious beverage for the kisser. Have had many of their creations and I make heart hands "figrativly". Can't appreciate the staff anymore than I do. Everyone that's served me has been a gem. Keep it guys 💖👌👌👏👏👌🙈💖

Very nice cocktails made by these guys, he spent time with to get to know what we like to create something special for our special day, I’ve finally had one from menu, called Aussie Fury which greatly presented and small flame to the orange, and also my wife got a very nice gin and elderflower and some other mix

Fun little laneway bar at the Paris end of the CBD. There aren't many great cocktail bars open on a Monday night, luckily we stumbled upon Lily Blacks.

Chill vibes with a great cocktails. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Didn't see many gin based cocktails but they were able to accommodate on the go.

Will be back!

An excellent little place for cocktails, my surprise at how quiet it was at 5 pm did not last long. By 6 it was buzzing with people and my first beverage was a testament to why. My pathway led from Fury Road to Brooding in a Corner to a customised Irish whiskey and coffee concoction that Alex the mixologist will recognise by the name Dublin Latte(no it had no milk in it). Avoid at all costs so I can keep going back for more!

I had an amazing experience at Lily Blacks. It was so great that I visited the place two nights in a row. I always appreciate a good gin and Jace, our waiter, came up with gin recipes that I never had before. It was delsicious and the service was just outstanding... I highly recommend this place.

Our outing to Lily Blacks on Friday night was a solid all round success. Our waitress was superb, really one of the best I've encountered. Friendly with a nothings too much trouble attitude, she sorted out an off-menu drink for me (I wanted something not sweet) and made the evening that much more enjoyable. Delish menu of mostly fried things but, fried things were what we were looking for on Friday night. Great location, great night out.

Best place in Melbourne to grab a cocktail. Bartenders are super friendly and will taylor a drink to your liking. Old fashions here are epic.

A great dark Laneway bar with exceptionally friendly service. Not a lot of choice on the actual menu for cocktail variety. Easy to find.

Wandering back to our accommodation after a show , we came across’Lily Blacks’ nestled like an oasis in a desert. We are both well into our 70s and were greeted and treated without the sneering condescension we have experienced in other establishments because we are perceived to be outside ‘their’ age demographic . Great staff, great vibe and a whiskey sour to die for. Well done, you’ll see us again on our next trip ‘south’

Beautiful little cocktail bar tucked away in a lane way. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Only place ive found to have a vegan grasshopper. It has to be one of my favorite places in the city. Good cocktails good vibes what more could you want.

Great spot. Great drinks list.

Fantastic cocktail bar, not crowded Saturday night. Speakeasy vibe. Great Sloe Gin Fizz from visiting bartender Blake of Patient Wolf Gin.

Great date place if you wanna say you know a little spot, great service and they'll make a great version of anything you want drink wise

Cute little alfresco, nice but not overbearing bartender, adorable euro vibes

Amazing bespoke cocktail menu created by fabulous bartenders that cater for your every need.
My partner and I have been coming here for years, one could even say our relationship began at the venue!

Keep up the great work guys, love what you're doing ❤

Amazing place for cocktails, great atmosphere and music! Ask the bartenders to surprise and add fire... sit back to watch the show. Will definitely be back!
