The Convent is a wonderful place to visit & often. The farmers markets are on Saturday mornings. Wander the beautiful grounds and interesting artist galleries. A must visit location very near the heart of Melbourne.

This place is simply amazing with everything you need for a quick retreat out of the city in one place. They got cafes within the precinct, a mini gallery, open green spaces with beautiful gardens that you can freely walk around. They are home to different local creatives so can check out their social medias and website for more info about what events coming up next.

Cool hidden gem, has a few restaurants and other things to do. Cheap paid parking across the road. Worth a visit.

Abbotsford Convent is one of the best inner city locations in Melbourne to get married at. As a wedding photographer, I've photographed there many times over the years. The reception space is like a blank canvas, which is a dream come through for couples who want to make the space their own. There are lots of different spots for photographs as well. Would highly recommend if you are looking for an inner city location to hold your wedding :)

Beautiful grounds and a cosy restaurant setting. Food was lovely and wine/drink selection was varied. It can be quite noisy at lunch so not an intimate environment. The service was lacking with most (but not all) staff seemingly disinterested.

I enjoyed the cafe and linen shop. There's a toy shop too, but we didn't need the 3 year old getting any ideas. A little smelly around the cafe, mostly the smell of urine right by the cafe tables, which really needs to be dealt with, but a beautiful spot and worth a visit.

What a great place to visit. Majestic building that you can walk around in and the Saturday market is fantastic.

Abbotsford Convent is a former Catholic convent turned place of art, culture & learning precinct now. It has farmers market & food markets on the weekends (Saturday) which are worth a visit. Don’t miss to have a pie from the convent bakery. The convent building has some great architecture which worth a visit in itself.

Great place in the city. Good variety of plants with ample places to sit and enjoy them and take in the fresh air. Abbotsford Convent is a former Catholic convent turned place of art, culture & learning precinct now.

Great place in the city. Gardens are very well maintained. Good variety of plants with ample places to sit and enjoy them and take in the fresh air. Bakery serves breakfast and lunch. Pizza was delicious. Many corners to explore. Very relaxing even on a busy Sunday.

Lovely gardens to explore and right across the road from the Collingwood children's farm. Cafe on site to, well worth a look.

Nice place to visit - as i am interested in cafes mostly, it has good cafes inside to try out. You can easily spend time walking in & around. Also yarra trail is very close to join in.

Unique and textured venue for arts and performance. Nearby bakery has delicious food. I went to a lecture and art show that will stay with me for many years. Looking forward to coming back.

Wow, a really special place. (Free entry!) Wonderful buildings, gardens, art spaces, workshops and cafes. An amazing spacious & quiet community asset which, by the way, really needs supporting and funding.

Lovely place. Lots of beautiful outdoor spaces. A little art gallery inside. You can easily get here using public transport.

It was a disappointing visit. The buildings and the gardens are very beautiful and historic but you cannot wander inside and there is very little historicbal information available around the grounds. Perhaps there are tours but there was no information anywhere on the grounds that I could find. The parking is very expensive and there is a very heavy feeling of sadness in the grounds.

2024: A spectacular cultural space for events, where else in the world can you have a boogie while swarms of bats preform their evening migration over your head? Just blows the mind to smithereens.

I visited Abbotsford Convent on a Saturday afternoon in September. The walk around the grounds and the buildings is lovely, but obviously needs a lot of funding for repairs and maintenance. Mind your step, as there are a lot of cracks along paths near the buildings as well as trip hazards along the garden path. There’s a water fountain to fill your water bottle. We had something to eat. The cafe is very grubby and needs a good pressure hose down. So many menu boards and a lot on the menu was deep fried 😬. The nun in the window is scary.

Lovely place. I wanted to have a look inside of the studio a bit, but pretty much everything was closed. Needed to have information before your visiting.

Moon dog is a deceiving space, it has two large rooms inside with a very eclectic and old school fit out. Very much an op shop vibe cross share house. Staff here are friendly and know their stuff. Beer menu is great and long and they also have good wines and other mixers on offer. Food is done via a pizza can out the front that also has gluten free options and Vegetarian. Pizzas are really good. A great low key hang out

Fun spot with a cool bit of decor and plenty of mismatched but comfortable lounges and chairs along the place. The beers are great and the seltzers are varied - lots of beverages for all of the crew to check out. Pool table is a nice addition

great craft beer place, there was so many selection, the place atmosphere was also nice. it can be reach by public transportation. the price is fair. So many interesting flavour. looking forward to come again

Very nice, good selection of beers. The pizzas were amazing... some of the best I have had in a very long time.

So this is the place that has been the most welcoming to me. Teal my bartender was an absolute delight and the locals were super friendly. Will definitely be back on my next trip to Melbourne. The beer is fantastic and the pizza is definitely worth the trip.

Fantastic piece of Melbourne craft beer history. Cozy and comfortable with a great selection of quality beers, Moon Dog OG never fails to impress.

We had our "elopement after party" at Moon Dog and it was the best! The ballroom is the coolest space without the need to decorate. We opted for beer and wine only - they have the best selection, everyone loved it. There is so much space for seating, dancing, eating and photo booths. The staff were amazing, super fun, friendly and a pleasure to work with on our special party. Thanks so much :)

The beer wasn't as cold as our group wanted to be and the music was too loud to speak with more than 4 groups of people. The pizza was really good though!

Had our wedding here a couple of weeks ago because we loved the venue so much. Team are unreal and the pizzas are incredible. A huge favourite spot of ours.

2024: Great for pres or just a night of frothies. Laid back and super casual, love the 90's throwback. The Margherita Simpson and Leonardo DiCapricciosa are punny as hell.

Christmas at Moondog OG is a tradition that is a must. Doggy photos with Santa or should I say the grinch who hands out doggy treats and beers. The annual doggy Christmas parade that eveyone loves. But the pizza is really good and the beers are very good as well. The OG is the place to be at for all your Chrissy fun

A great, comfortable small brewery with very good craft beers (not only the usual Lagers and pale ales - loved the Crème Brŭlée Stout) And the staff are really friendly, too.

Fantastic service, food, atmosphere & space! Came here for the Second Chance Animal Rescue event today with two of my dogs. It was fantastic & great to see Moondog get behind such a great cause. Pizzas were great, especially the salami one (pictured). Only recommendation would be for some fresh citrus slices to go with the selzters 👌🏼

Great crafted beer selection and interesting setup hipster bar with an awesome vibe and good music. Food options are limited to pizza which is a bit disappointing. The pizza is fabulous but a bit pricy. They have Tuesday pizza nights which you can get 10 bucks pizza.

Such amazing service, staff are so friendly and generous. I adore the ever-changing selection of beers, and pizzas are fabulous (with great veggie and vegan options)

This place is cool. The service is excellent, and I need to make a call out to Renee for her great customer service. I tried a Splice of Heaven - Pine Lime IPA which was absolutely delicious. The Tropical Crush alcoholic seltzer was a mango tasting drink, and soo yummy. My other favorite drink was a Dream Cake Coconut Cake Imperial Dark Ale. This ale was absolutely moorish, just perfect. It was like drinking a dark chocolate cake, its was just perfect. We also shared some pizzas. A vegetarian and another meat pizza which was good but the vegetarian one was a winner! Overall it was a great experience and it won't be 4 years before I go back next time haha. My partner and I shared a few drinks. Previous review - January 2016 This place is good fun. A little microbrewery in the industrial area of Richmond/Abbotsford. Interesting beers like watermelon beer, which tastes surprisingly good. It's a cool little place, perfect for a craft beer and they have a pizza van next door.
