24.01.2022 Check out our new tables!!! We can't wait to have all you legends sitting around them, in the very near future. We're pretty nuts about them, we think they're the epitome of cool bananas and they make us proclaim hot diggity dog all throughout the day. These were made and designed by our dear friend, the very multitalented - the one, the only, the legend himself Mr Ian 'Gus' Logie aka Lazarus. What a gem of a man, we are so in love with the tables! Thanks champion! - -... - #fadgallerybar #fadgallery #melbournebars #handmade #newfurniture #carpentryskills #coolfurniture #coolbananas #nuts #hotdog #hotdiggitydog #peanut #newadditions #cantwaittoseeyou #divebar #lanewaybars #artgallery #bar #damnfine #est95 #smallbar #seeyousoon #keeponkeepingon See more

21.01.2022 Episode 3 of Fad Phrases: Its Friday, so there is no better time than to whip out one of our most used phrases at the bar being "little one".back in the days when you could go to a bar, and sit in a bar, open the bar, catch up in a bar, and drink in a bar.We digress, gosh it brings it a tear to the eye, those memories. But dont fret we will see them again on the safe side of this storm front. A friend of ours has described this lockdown fittingly as an intermission in... the next act we can all sing and cheer and get on the beers and ask each other if were keen on a little one - definition in attached image. Remember we are open for takeaway wines and beers! So if you're in our 5km bubble give us a buzz and pick up delectable bottle of wine or a 6 pack of tasty brews. - - - - - - - - #fadgallery #fadgallerybar #fadphrases #littleone #halfa #shotoclock #fridaydrinks #fridayfunnies #wordporn #fireballfriday #fireball #sambuca #jamo #sneakyshot #shotsup #melbournebars #supportsmallbusiness #shoplocal #supportlocal #gallery #bar #keeponkeepingon #beer #wine #takeaway #staysafe #staysane #shotshotshot #drinkresponsibly

20.01.2022 UPDATE: PLEASE READ. We hate to be the bearer of bad news, we'd much rather be the giver of glad and FADulous news - but you can't win all the time. With the recent announcement by the State Government of the abandoned plan to further ease restrictions from this coming Monday - which we understand and respect, but there will be an amended change to how we can open. We are now only permitted to have 20 seated patrons at one time in FAD. We are NO LONGER TAKING BOOKINGS, WALK I...NS ONLY - for the foreseeable future - so first in, best dressed. But if you're in town or wanting to head in, please feel free to give us a buzz anytime and we'll let you know how we are travelling. We don't like disappointing people and turning people away, but remember we are adhering to the laws in place - so please don't take it personally if it happens. However we will be respecting the bookings that have been placed for this week, it was very heartwarming receiving the lovely messages from so many of you yesterday - at this stage this Friday the 26th is close to being booked out, but call us on the night and we will let you know if some spots have freed up. We will be doing everything in power our to ensure that even with less numbers permitted that we will make sure you have a Fadulous time. This goes without saying - if you are feeling unwell - STAY HOME! Make sure you're feeling 100% and take care of yourself. Not just for you, but for everyone else. We totally understand how frustrating this time is, but we need to keep doing the right thing so eventually we can take further steps forward. Remember we're open during the week, so not just the weekends. We have fabulous drinks of the alcoholic variety on offer, coffee, tea, board games, with a soundtrack of A grade tunes to be played for you, plus we have some very exciting announcements and plans coming within the next week. From us here at FAD - stay safe, stay cool and keep on keeping on.

17.01.2022 We may not be apart of the equation of who are permitted to open on Monday, but rest assured, we miss you all immensely and look forward to when we are permitted to open again, but that also FAD is going to be schmicko and Fadulous for you all. Some exciting announcements and works to show you in the coming weeks as well. Stay safe, stay sane, stay cool and keep on keeping on. Best wishes and love to all our friends in the hospitality industry who can open from June the 1st. ...

Strange and sad times, but let's : 'keep on keeping on like a bird that flew'.... Stay safe, stay sane, stay cool and keep thinking of good things like when we will get to re-open our doors and see your legendary faces again.... and also this piece of magic by the greatest. Our hearts and all our love are with everyone right now From Ori & Johnny @ FAD

16.01.2022 Welcome to our first edition of "Fad Phrases". Where we welcome you to the inner sanctum of our very own and the every growing language of Fad, that has been growing daily over the past 25 years. It's how us and the regulars have been communicating for years and now you can be involved by knowing the meaning behind some of our picks of the bunch - whether they be phrases, acronyms, or words...they're weird and wacky, but that's Fad for you. If you or someone you know uses or ...can use any of the phrases we put up in your everyday (and for now lockdown) life - Let us know by tagging us @fadgallerybar and using the hashtags #fadgallerybar and #fadphrases. We're going to kick off the festivties with one of our staples and favorites in the fadphrases book with: " SIMF "- #simf - see definition in attached image. - - - - - - #fadgallery #fadgallerybar #fadphrases #language #vernacular #chitchat #chewthefad #chatterbait #localbar #localtalk #idioms #acronyms #phrases #slang #aussieslang #funny #dontbeadick #melbourne #gallery #bar #damnfine #staysafe #staysane #locals #divebar #smallbusiness #supportlocal @ FAD Gallery See more

16.01.2022 Q: What day is good for Fad Margarita?? A: Any day! Come in and grab one of these pearlers tonight! We'll have the Footy on ( Saints Vs Blues) - so you can hear Ori dissect the game and marvel over Carltons backline. The Margaritas pack a punch so if you like a double hit of tequilla these little beauties are your winning tip. They're "deeeelicious".... If you're feeling unwell or from the covid lockdown suburbs - please stay home. Together we can get through this as long as we keep staying safe and abiding all measures in place. See you legends tonight or any day from tues - sat. Remember we can only have 20 seated customers at one time, but we'll ensure you have a damn fine time. - - - - #fadgallery #fadgallerybar #cocktails #tastythursdays #melbournebars #barscene #supportsmallbusiness #winningtip #divebar #afl #beer #winetime #rattennewnescup #damnfine #tunes #art #keeponkeepingon #backopen #staysafe #staysane #staycool See more

16.01.2022 We are blessed each day at FAD to know and get to meet so many lovely people. It's been 25 years to date of constantly meeting some of the most talented and delightful people the world will ever know. These 2 people pictured are whom you would find under the description of "what we thank our lucky stars for every day". Jeff Busby and Louise Bradley are the type of people on why we at FAD "keep on keeping on". They are talent and beauty (in all sense of the word) personfied.... Thank you for your friendship, for your support, for sharing your talents and cheers to you both for just being you. What a delight it is to be able to open our doors again and have you legends come in for a brew! Loving the Fad tees too!! P.s that wonderful image behind Jeff is one of his marvelous pieces of work. Can you pick the location?? We love these guys and we're so rapt to see not only you both, but all you legends again! We're open Tues-Sat (normal precovid hours) - drop us a message or give us a buzz for booking enquires ( as spaces are limited due to Covid Restrictions) Stay cool, stay safe and keep on keeping on. - - - #fadgallery #goodtobeback #damnfine #loveourfriends #loveourcustomers #art #gallery #photography #melbournegalleries #bar #melbourneartist #photographer #bar #jamesboags #sidebyside #melbournebars #backopen #divebar #cocktails #wine #beerbeerbeer #keeponkeepingon

15.01.2022 Can you believe it Christmas is just around the corner ( we can't- what a year indeed!) ... so why not stuff your stockings with a bit of FAD - And make it a merry FADmas for you and those you love We now have merch(tees, totebags and mugs) available to purchased at the bar and if we don't have your specific item we can order it for you - or you can still purchase it online through the superheroes at www.dastshirtautomat.com/fadgallery. All we want for Christmas is for ...us all to keep on keeping on and keep staying safe and as cool as they come. We've got this Victoria!

Controversial opinion: we'd rather play Bob Dylans "Must Be Santa" on loop than Mariah Carey's 'All I want For Christmas" on loop ... - - - - - - - - - #fadgallery #keeponkeepingon #stockingfillers #giftideas #christmas #christmasgifts #giftideas #fadmas #hohoho #supportlocalbusiness #supportyourlocal #tees #totebag #mugs #tea #dastshirtautomat #bartshirt #fadgallerybar #bobdylan #melbourneiloveyou #melbournebars #lanewaybars #melbournelaneway #corrslane #drinkmelbourne #cityofmelbourne #est95 #damnfine #backinbusiness

14.01.2022 Whilst we are sharing good things - we really miss live music and having incredible local acts grace the Fad stage. If you're on the hunt for some fresh local tunes, look no further then this fresh track 'Roslyn' by Jimmy Harwood & Chaddy B Their EP "INSTICT" is out now on all platforms - https://linktr.ee/jimmyharwood We can't wait until we can have gigs again and get Jimmy Harwood and so many other brilliant local acts playing in our four walls, but until then we're going t...o playing this on loop and we recommend you give these guys a listen - we think they're something special. What a stellar track that transports you to a state of chill. Congrats guys, we can't wait to hear more! - - - - - - - - -

13.01.2022 There's no saturday like a Fadurday. Come in tonight for a brew or few, we're back open from 3pm! It feels so good to be able to open and see you all again. First in best dressed as we can only have 20 seated patrons at one time - So come on down to Chinatown and grab a comfy couch and have a brew (or few) with us. Thanks to everyone who has come in in the past few days, it's been solid gold to see your legendary faces and beyond heart warming with the love and support we've... recieved from all you superheroes. Let's all keep on keeping on. Please remember if you're feeling unwell, please stay home. Stay safe, stay cool and we'll see you soon - - - - #fadgallerybar #fadgallery #openforbusiness #melbournebars #bar #gallery #melbournelaneways #divebar #keeponkeepingon #melbourne #damnfine @ FAD Gallery See more

13.01.2022 WE'RE BACK! We are so very excited to announce the re-opening of our doors at FAD! We've missed you all immensely and can't wait to see your lovely faces again. What. A. Year! And we're not even half way through yet! We hope you've all been keeping well, safe and sane in these weird times. We've been working away - sprucing the place up and making sure we can open up with a safe and enjoyable environment for us all. With the easing of restrictions next week we will be open...ing up from Wednesday the 24th, and as sensational as it is that we can all partake in a beverage (or few), things are going to be a bit different to what we've known it previously. But do not fret, we'll still make sure you have a damn fine time with tasty alcoholic beverages, a coffee/tea; we've got board games to get your mind engaged, and other offers to make sure you have a damn fine time with us . We've completed all required Covid training to re-open, done a complete clean of the venue and have installed further cleaning practices and protocols to make sure we keep ourselves, and most importantly you, all safe. For the time being we are only permitted a small number of customers (20 to be exact) at the one time - as much as we'd love to say we'd love to see you all for a big welcome back party so we can dance the night away - that is still some time away yet. As we all start to re-open our businesses in line with government guidelines, we ask everyone to remember to please be patient with staff and respectful of all businesses and each other as we all have to adhere to the restrictions in place. We all want to make this work so we can keep taking steps forward so we can have a dance together at some point soon in the future. This is a step forward and quite frankly a relief that we can open again, even if it is a small capacity - because boy oh boy have we missed all your damn fine faces. So please come on down next week and have a drink with us at FAD - we all definitely deserve it. We'd love you to give us a buzz to make a booking for any time you wish to pop through. We hate turning people away, but we will be doing everything in our capabilities to make sure you all have a great time with us. So feel free to give us a call on (03) 9639 2700 and peak to either myself (Ori) or Johnny and we'll lock you in for your time on one of our groovy tables or assist in any enquires you have. Have we mentioned yet how much we've missed you all??? Can't wait to see you all from next week!!! From us here at FAD have a damn fine weekend and we'll see you very soon. Oriana Wister-Zimmerman Johnny Halleday

09.01.2022 We hope youre all keeping safe and well and you have planned a toasty weekend inside your home for this weekend (and the next 6). Here is some Friday Fun for us all. As we very much miss picking tunes for you all and dancing the weekend away (those times will return when it is safe to do so in the future) - So we thought wed ask for your input into helping us compile some playlists here and there during this further stage of lockdown. We need some fun after all in the com...fort and safety of our own home alongside a bottle of wine.or few. We think this will be a cathartic and enjoyable exercise for our sanity. Weve got a long list already compiled for this one, but wed like your brains to pick out some doozys you think would be suited and well keep adding to it as well just for some musical joy and education where all genres are welcome. Without further ado, playlist number 1 is dedicated to all the tin foil hat brigade, the conspiracy theorist loons, the loons flouting the rules in place, the non-mask wearers and quite generally all the mouldy fudge sticks who are trying to f**k everything up for the rest of us with their irresponsible and un-safe views and actions. We know some have already been given a name, but we dont believe thats a fair judgement on the decent K----s of the world so mouldy fudge-sticks it is to be as nice as we possibly can be. Did we mention we think this will be quite cathartic and enjoyable? Music always saves the day. Well kick start the festivities of songs that their titles or lyrics contain a message towards those previously mentioned mouldy fudge-sticks and then the ball is in your court to help us further add to running playlist for Playlist Number 1 extra points of admiration, long distanced high fives and applause given to those whose selection is that of a local artist too. Stay safe, stay sane, wear your mask, follow the DHHS, dont be a dick or a mouldy fudge stick. Here is our selections to kick off the show, this is to all for all the mouldy fudge sticks out there! We look forward to seeing your selections!! From FAD with love. Track 1: Skyhooks why dont you all get f***ed! Track 2: Stephen Cummings its not me, its you Track3: Frank Zappa dumb all over Here is the pearler of track, that we'd like to open this specific playlist with by the impeccable Skyhooks:

08.01.2022 In the words of D:Ream 'things can only get better'. First bite of ' Chew The Fad'. (did we mention 'things can only get better')

08.01.2022 What a beautiful start to the week! We're so pleased and stoked to announce we are now permitted to have more of you legends in at FAD at the one time. We highly recommend still placing a booking, especially for Friday and Saturday, but walk-ins will always be welcome as long as there are seats available and it's within our Covid Safe capacity Outdoor seating is also available on Friday and Saturday (until 10.30pm).... See you soon for a brew or few. What a damn fine effort by everyone in this marvellous State of ours to date! If you have any queries drop us a DM or give us a buzz and we'll try assist you as much as we can. Stay cool, stay safe and keep on keepin' on. - Ori at Fad. - - - - - - #fadgallerybar #fadgallery #melbournebars #bar #gallery #cityofmelbourne #whatsonmelbourne #damnfine #covidsafe #lanewaybar #drinkmelbourne #getonthebeers #keeponkeepingon #staycool #staysafe #seeyousoon #happydays #goodtimeswithgoodpeople #music #wine #cocktails #beerbeerbeer #cider #barsofmelbourne #seeyousoon #opennow #est95

05.01.2022 HOT OFF THE PRESS: A bit of light reading for you all, where the subject matter and main characters are a few of our favorite things aka booze. Here is our digital version of our new drinks list. Have a squizz and keep in mind your favorite tipple of choice for when we can serve you legends once again next week. We look forward to pouring you a fireball or a delightful sambuca soon.... Please remember things are going to be a tad different when we open. The big house party we all love dancing at is not on the cards atm, but that doesn't mean you cannot enjoy a delightful beverage or few, within our spruced up 4 walls at FAD - with a continuous selection of great tunes in the background and board games are available for free use to keep your brain and minds moving....just unfortunately not your dancing shoes just as yet. Additonal menus with some new and exciting items coming real soon as well! Stay safe, stay cool and we can't wait to see you all again next week. - - - #fadgallerybar #fadgallery #reopening #weareback #cantwaittoseeyou #drinkslist #newmenu #drinkmenu #fireball #sambuca #finewine #beer #spirits #ginlovers #cocktails #melbournebars #divebar #melbournebarscene #supportsmallbusiness #lanewaybars #melbournelaneways #keeponkeepingon #tinnies #gallerybar #localbar #littlebylittle #smallbar #25years #greatmusic #damnfine @ FAD Gallery

04.01.2022 Hey legends, We hope everyone is keeping safe and as sane as possible in these strange times. We just want to touch base with you all and let you know what we are in the process of doing rather than smashing our heads against a wall we are keeping occupied, working, thinking and doing everything in our capabilities to keep our business/home that is Fad going (as we are sure so many other businesses are trying to do)....Continue reading

03.01.2022 'No Time Like The Present' From the Fad Archives: circa 1996 downstairs. That's the dance floor bar area, with the backdoors leading to the toilets. Wowee just a few changes since then! That's Dave Sterry at the front setting up his photographic exhibition. -... - - - - - - - - #fadgallerybar #fadgallery #melbourne #melbournebars #cityofmelbourne #davesterry #notimelikethepresent #ifthesewallscouldtalk #memories #history #storybehindthebar #25years #mid90s #art #exhibition #photography #dontbeadick #keeponkeepingon #supportlocal #supportthearts #melbournelaneways #melbourneinstitution #damnfine #johnnyhalleday #seeyousoon #chinatown See more

02.01.2022 It is with upmost gratitude that we say thank you to everyone who has come past and supported us in the past couple of weeks that we have been open. It's been a joy seeing your legendary faces once again. But it is with immense sadness that we must announce that we will be shutting our doors for the next 6 weeks in compliance with the very recent State Government announcement. This a very tough and frustrating time for everyone, but we must be safe so that we can hopefully s...oon again re-open our doors. Our heart is breaking, but we all must keep on keeping on - keep doing the right thing, keep staying safe, keep staying cool and we look forward to seeing you all once again soon. We will be back! Please stay safe, stay sane & always keep on keeping on. We will be making some further announcements in the next coming weeks. From Ori & Johnny at FAD

01.01.2022 Like every bar, we think we have the best regulars in the world, but we really do and in times like these, these individuals are not only regulars, but they are our family. We love them with every inch of our soul and Fad wouldn't be the place that it is without them. We are lucky enough to not only have them in our lives, but they popped past to assist us in a mini working bee helping us spruce Fad up for when we are allowed to open. Cheers to these superheroes, your jokes,... your friendship, your helping hands and all the damn fine times we have with you keep us sane and make the world go round. So cheers to our regulars and to yours too, these guys are the backbone of bars and make everything and all times, even when they seem a bit dim "damn fine"

01.01.2022 Talk about throwback Thursday! Johnny Halleday, April 1995 the first week he got Fad. Many changes have taken place at Fad and the Melbourne CBD as whole since then - we look forward to resuming the good times again soon. P.s thats the middle of the bar/dance floor right there. Wowee indeed!!...
