25.01.2022 Strangeloves has done it back to back. Our wine list has been awarded Two glasses (excellent) for the second year in a row. A little blush on our behalf with the judges comments: "An avid collection of Australian bottles comprises the bulk of this list, closely followed by whisky galore and a cache of fabulous gins. Investment in half bottles and mini verticals of Grosset and Cullen, Felton Road, By Farr and Rockford layer the page; an eclectic list that conveys the author’s... passion and palate for Australian classics and small batch spirits. Spoilt for choice, this is a treasure trove, the sort of cellar you would love to get lost in." Australia's Wine List of the Year Awards



25.01.2022 Now open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday's from 5pm till 7.30pm Don't forget you can pre-order just by sending us a facebook message! Delivery included within a 5km radius with spends over $50

25.01.2022 Opps Menus seems to not appear on phones or tablets, so for those requesting hopefully they are visible now

24.01.2022 Strangeloves is back from the 1st of June! Mon Thurs 5pm 9:30pm Fri Sun 12pm 9:30pm Max table size of 6 people Everyone must be eating to drink... We’ve been practicing social distancing for years with nooks and crannies only suited to one small table each! And now our tables and chairs moved even further than usual from your bar neighbors. With the exciting news that we can reopen with our doors to having you sit down, have something to eat and a drink and be table served by us. It has been a big few months for everyone and we are looking forward to hearing the stories of how you all coped, and don’t stress if you’ve gone a little strange locked indoors, we’re the place that makes Strange Lovable. With heavily reduced seating we recommend making a booking or calling ahead, however for those brave and rugged up enough there will also be seating available in the laneway. Apologies to the smokers, as every person needs to have food there will be no smoking area within our laneway seating. For bookings we understand that some peoples social anxiety levels are through the roof at the moment, so if for any reason you need to cancel or change the size of a booking please just let us know as early as you can. As one of our much loved staff used to say, ‘Safety doesn’t take a holiday’ so we will of course have sanitizer everywhere and be practicing all of the measures needed to keep you and us safe. Also we’re not hitting on you, one of the measures is having the details of every customer so first name and contact number is all we will ask. With some more exciting news, we will be sticking around at 577 Mt Alexander Rd until the end of the year, this will hopefully give you all the time you need to say goodbye to the old venue and then a smaller gap until the new one opens! Looking forward to seeing you all again!



24.01.2022 Made for summer, introducing our 'Some Like It Hot' cocktail made with chilli infused tequila, mezcal and ruby grapefruit juice. Equal parts mouth tingle and refreshment it's made for those lazy days in the sun.

Amaretto Sour Classic Martini Cosmopolitan Espresso Martini Negroni Vanilla Lemon Martini Whisky Sour

22.01.2022 Wishing everyone a Happy Easter! We are open all Easter weekend from 3pm - 8pm and will be open the same hours going forward. If you can't be with family you can always send them some wine and cheese.

21.01.2022 Nothing is more comforting than freshly baked bread. All of our bread is made in house ciabatta style. Served warm, drizzled with olive oil and salt - The perfect accompaniment for our oozy cheese and freshly sliced meats.

21.01.2022 Some big news from Strangeloves, we are moving to 37 Hall St, Moonee Ponds (Next door to Chiba Japanese). When Strangeloves moved into Moonee Ponds in 2010 the area looked a little different, buildings were a little shorter and our little Mt Alexander Rd strip was full of bars and restaurants. Many restaurants are still there and offer an amazing range of top quality food, if you haven’t tried them lately then you’re missing out! Excluding gaming venues, of the 5 bars next t...o us in 2010 there is now only 1, making us a little lonely. We have decided that it was time to relocate and use this hard social distancing time to give us some purpose of setting up a new bar. It would be rude to not acknowledge our new neighbours, the hard work and contributions to the area that they have being apart for some time. So a massive shout out and thank you to Mango Lounge Bar who are the pioneers of Hall St, with some bars not lasting 12 months it is a massive honour to be on the same street as a bar that is 19 years old this month. And a big thank you to the Valley Cellar Door who are having a 10th birthday this year too, your welcoming nature and venue are what Moonee Ponds is all about. Just like when these 2 amazing bars opened and brought a new flare to the street we hope to do the exact same, and with so many new and old restaurants the area really is the entertainment precinct of Moonee Ponds. We are so excited to be able to change up Strangeloves a little bit! We are keeping the warm service and the intimate seating but making the entire place a little more polished. We would love to have everything finished but we haven’t even started yet and so far 2020 has not been amazing so expect to see us open at some point in 2021. 577 Mt Alexander Rd closing late 2020 37 Hall St opening 2021 Chris, Nikki and the Strangeloves Team

16.01.2022 Strangeloves will be closed tonight (Fri 3rd Jan) due smoke haze and air quality based on the EPA’s guidance. What is usually our favourite space, the open aired courtyard is currently letting haze throughout the building and we are not able to provide our usual comfortable environment. And we are also unable to expect ourselves or our staff to be able to work for any suitable period of time needed without discomfort. We apologies for any inconvenience caused and understand that this will be an ongoing issue until these devastating fires are brought under control. We will endeavour to advise everyone on any other closures as early as possible and hope that this will be a once off. Thanks for your understanding Chris and Nikki

15.01.2022 This Queen’s birthday long weekend is Strangeloves’ 9th Birthday. What better opportunity to stop and say a massive thank you to our amazing customers. Without a doubt we have the best customers in the world and to all of you that have brightened our day with a smile and a laugh, we love you guys.

From 1st dates, engagements to weddings we feel so humbled to be involved in so many of your special occasions and are so excited to see what the next 9 years bring. A massive thank you to you all that have shaped Strangeloves Wine Bar into the place that it is today. Chris, Nikki and the whole team along the way.

09.01.2022 Strangeloves is now a temporary bottleshop with delivery. Apologies to all of our amazing supporters for the delayed response, we have had a take a few days to understand the scope and gravity of this situation. We have been granted a license for take away and delivery of alcohol and cheese and we have dropped our prices as you are no longer able to come and stay in the comfort of our bar. The good news is we have a few menus up (Under the menu tab) now and we are happy to sa...y that we have some of the best and rarest Australian wines included as take away now. Everything you need to know to order is on the top of each menu, and we have updated our hours too. Thank you so much for the support.
