The Watsonia Wine Bar is exactly what this neighbourhood needed. Great selection of drinks, great food options, outstanding service, and always lots of friendly faces. Located on Watsonia's most vibrant corner. The renovations to an older dry cleaning business have retained tones of its industrial heritage but have a modern and stylish feel in a suburb that is otherwise short on flair. :D The staff always make us feel welcome and they make the effort to get to know the regulars. So glad this has arrived in our neighbourhood - we will be dropping by all year round.

Watsonia Wine Bar is incredible! The drink selection is fantastic (including mocktails), the food is delicious and the service is top notch. We mostly got to know Tim and Nico but everyone is lovely. The location is also great and we loved the patio. We were only traveling through the area for a few weeks but really came to feel at home here, I think of their pizza & gin cocktails daily!

So happy to have found this gem having only very recently moved to the area. The perfect place for a relaxed date night or drink with friends. Very dog friendly! The outdoor tables are undercover, and they have blankets available for cool evenings. Cocktails and pizzas were delicious. Service was second to none. Looking forward to our next visit already!

  • John Harding

Very windy and cold on the day we visited. But they do provide blankets for outside patrons. Very small inside, only about 3 tables. Most seating is outside. Nice menu. Gets its pizzas from next door pizza shop. Very nice too. Friendly and helpful staff. It is very much an outside venue so dress for outside. Very popular though. Has wine and beers.

  • Jeremy Evans

What a great space for a casual drink and some food with friends! The atmosphere is super friendly, the team are all so welcoming, warm and inviting. Great selection of drinks and food options a plenty. I can see this being a regular place for many after work, or spending a long Saturday or Sunday afternoon catching up with friends.

  • Christian Oliver

A very welcome addition to Watsonia and the customer service and quality of product is top notch. Paul introduced himself and made sure we were well looked after throughout. Might need some heaters outside in the colder months (but that's a problem for the future). Keep up the great work - the locals will love you.

  • Marcus Boyden

Wow what a venue. Owners and staff are so friendly and accommodating. The food options in store are fantastic and never dissapoint. The drinks menu is also fantastic with a wide range of cocktails and wines so there is something for everyone. Highly recommend.

  • Stephen Valeri

Such a nice vibe! Has certainly brought some much needed atmosphere to the Watsonia strip. Great selection of wines, including a mix of Australian and international offerings. The spirits and cocktail list looked impressive too. And our cheese platter was fab. Lovely service - ticks all the boxes! ✅ …

  • Mark James Suniga

Did someone say relax vibe or dog friendly bar? Then, this place is a space worth going to. Super friendly staff, chill environment and the setting of the place sets the whole mood for you. Very good variety of drinks! Did I mention that dogs have snacks you can order too, boy what a treat for them as well!!!

  • Danni Smyth

Such a wonderful establishment. Every aspect of this bar is thoughtful and inviting. Beautiful wool blankets in the winter, flowers on the tables, and a cocktail list that adjusts a little with the season. Personalised service and always a wonderful local night out. More

Went to WWB on a Friday night for some after-work drinks and food. Was slightly disappointed when a friend and I were seated by the toilets on a very small table despite telling the servers that we planned on ordering food and don't think

  • Alison May

It has lived up to the anticipation, the wine list is great, the hospitality is even better. We were even treated to some fantastic bespoke cocktails courtesy of business owner Tim. Highly recommend, come and support a great local venue.

  • Karlye Hogg

The local wine bar in Watsonia is absolutely amazing! I'd give it a solid five stars, no doubt about it. Their drink selection is off the charts. You've gotta try their Baileys Bliss—it's out of this world! And the food? Yum! The pizzas

It's fine. Nice enough food and a sizable drink menu but without wanting to sound rude the place did come off as a bit pretentious, and U do want to stress that this place is new so it's very possible a lot of my issues will go away as

About time a proper high quality wine bar opened in our area. Great selection of wines and some awesome boutique gins. Really friendly staff and the owner made us feel so welcome. This will become our new regular local joint for sure

Popped on on Sunday around lunchtime more out of curiosity.....and then stayed for a light lunch and glass of wine. Just right, great service and Tim was most welcoming as we're both his team members. Can't wait to try the pizzas!!!
