Little Drop Of Poison - Eltham

This cozy little bar is a hidden gem. The menu is quite simple, so if you're looking for a hearty meal, this might not be the place for you. However, it's great for grabbing a drink or two. Definitely worth checking out.

Fantastic! I adore the anchovies, tasty cheese, and incredible cocktails. The sangria is outstanding! This cozy spot has a wonderful ambiance, and the staff is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their work.

What a fabulous local gem!  This place is consistently a treat to visit.   Popped in on Saturday night for a bite and drinks and couldn't have asked for better service!  Great atmosphere and background soundtrack to go with the interesting drinks and food menu.   Dietary requirements were accommodated with a smile and nothing was too much trouble.  Thanks for a lovely evening, girls you kept everything humming nicely even when it got a tad busy.  Will definitely be back.

Love this little cozy cafe in a quiet laneway of Eltham. Great coffee and delicious food! We tried the Haloumi sandwich and the McPoison. Love the glorious flavour of grilled green and Haloumi cheese. Very friendly staff too. Will definitely visit again.

Wow! What a surprise to find this little gem of a bar in Eltham. Just goes to show what is changing in the area as business's are realising locals are demanding good establishment that you get in inner city suburbs yet don't have to travel far to get to. If you wanted a big night out drinking cocktails and spirits you could catch an uber home for cheap. <br/ <br/ The food and drink was top notch. I ordered their take on a caipirinha, which is cachaca, sugar lime juice. They used rose infused sugar syrup. Magnificent it was. I've had my fair share of cocktails at black pearl and Eau de vie. Look no theatrics and mixology but they use top quality spirits such as four pillars gin. The food which was a bar menu designed to be shared was exceptional. The manager recommended 4-5 dishes for 2 for a full dinner. There is dessert but we were full by the end. Stand out dishes were the chicken pate, I'd call it a parfait which was served with a few green beans which I thought was a bit odd. Upon my first bite I was surprised they were chilli pickled. Great to cut the richness of the pate. Everything on the plates was there for a reason nothing more nothing less. On the surface the food looked simple but certainly had allot more going on. This is what I look for in a meal, food that delights, surprises and challenges you to think. And for 2 we payed $90 which was very reasonable for what we received. I'd say add another $40-50 to that bill if I was inner city.<br/ <br/ I said to my partner we could have been on Smith st Collingwood rubbing shoulders with hipsters yet this is Eltham. I think businesses like this will set a precedent for others to open something good in their local suburbs. This also says Melbourne is getting to be a very sophisticated city indeed.
