New Review: Revolver Upstairs

Clem Bastow meets the Chapel Street institution Revolver Upstairs for her most recent Epicure reivew. "Split between the band room, back bar, and Thai restaurant, Revolver is one of those venues that very much suits a turn-up-for-dinner-and-leave-at-breakfast sort of evening's entertainment."

New Review: Mother's Milk

Clem Bastow has once again weaved her magic for another Epicure bar review, this time she's at Mother's Milk on Chapel Street, Windsor.

"Mother's Milk (the front bar at least; the decked rear is somewhat more "clean") has one of those fit-outs that doesn't seem to be able to work out whether its vibe is op-shop chic, dilapidated '70s, or leather-lined luxury and instead falls in an odd middle ground between all three."

Council: No more venues on Chapel Street

Stonnington council mayor Claude Ullin has been reported in the Herald Sun saying:
"I've been consistently against any increase in the license numbers in Chapel Street, because of all the behaviour of people, particular at 1am," Cr Ullin said. "There's no doubt we're over-saturated."

The council backlash has recently caused a 1000-person live music venue to be rejected a liquor license - resulting in the owners appealing to Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT). Also, the council is also taking the owners of Lotus Bar to VCAT this week for contravening their planning permit.

The VCAT results will be posted here as soon as we know them.
