Trombar - Ascot Vale

One star for great music (thanks to the Andrew De Silva band) and atmosphere and one star for tasty bar snacks. However, the condition of the limited number of unisex toilets was disgusting with puddles of 'fluid ' all over the floor, making these spaces unsafe (slipping hazard) and unhygienic. Hopefully management can do something about this in an otherwise good venue.

Trom bar has great mixologists and cocktails are delish BUT unfortunately food is definitely not their forte. My husband organised a surprise birthday gathering and the starters were tasty but the mains were a little embarrassing that our guests didn't eat it. The schnitzel and Parma was so terribly presented and was soggy. My advice... stick to tapas and sharing plates because your atmosphere is great and love that you have kept up with the live music and great vibe. Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

On Sat 11th Nov, my family, friends and I headed to Stakes Day. Afterwards, we had a booking for dinner and drinks at Trombar. The service provided was flawless. We were warmly greeted in as a group of about 20 people and once dinner was ordered it arrived promptly and was delicious. My niece was given a chef special soup to meet a dietary requirement and was given the left over to take home. Staff checked on us a few times to ensure all was well. The cocktails were amazing! We really enjoyed the atmosphere as it got later with a live reggae band in the front area and the beer garden was so relaxing and fun to spend time in with our friends. All in all, this place was an amazing venue to have a function in! Check it out! : Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
