My colleague and I stopped here for a late lunch as we were intrigued by their paella lunch…read morespecial. Unfortunately we were told the $20 meal deal was only good through 12:30pm. Since we had our minds set on the paella, we each ordered one anyway. I got the daily special with sausage, scallops and pumpkin while she opted for the lamb. Having sampled both, I can say with certainty that they know their paella! The lamb paella was tender and flavourful, a good sign that the meat had been simmering to soften and flavour it, along with the rice. The scallop paella was just delightful, having the right blend of spices, a bit of surf and turf to flavour the rice, along with well blended pumpkin. It was hearty and filling. Both dishes were served on small paella pans and were well presented. In addition, the sangrias we sipped were fruity and refreshing. The staff was friendly, checking in on us more than once, topping off our water and clearing our table. It's true we beat the lunch rush so enjoyed the extra attention. This is one place where coming later still ensures you get a delicious meal, as the paella is a great dish that soaks in more flavour the longer on the grill. Come here for a fantastic lunch or sample their happy hour menu from 3-6pm. With a great location and tasty dishes, it is simply delicious.

Good given it was a Friday night and more so as they were very busy. For mains I had Calamari, and my wife the Meatballs. As well as some deep fried potatoes. The calamari was huge, good, the meatballs hot but a bit dry. Overall it was a pleasant enough experience.

Despite the variety of spaces The Spanish Club remains an authentic Spanish experience. The bar is home to a small stage where flamenco and acoustic Spanish music is often played live on weekends. The patterned carpet, booths and dimly lit bar provide a unique backdrop. The chorizo, patatas bravas and paella are favourites but this is a great place to try something new. Grab a group of friends and make the most of the tapas bar. Order big and try everything. This is authentic tapas. Wash it all down with cocktails, wine, beer or the obvious choice Sangria. The large stage in the rear salon hosts a variety of live music events and rocks on the weekend. This space is a great place to sample Melbourne's live music scene. The Spanish Club has a 'anything may happen tonight' feeling. Perhaps it is the warm hospitality, diversity of patrons, the intimate bar, the classic live music venue...or maybe it's just all the Sangria I had earlier!

Naked for Satan is a large space with a sprawling open air rooftop up on the 4th floor along with a smaller pub-like space on the main level. We joined the 30-something crew up on the deck on a mild March day. In the shade it was a tad cool and you could tell fall was setting in. There is no table service on the patio so you need to go inside to order food/drinks. We enjoyed a couple of pisco sours while watching people trickle in after a busy work week. The interior has a steam-punk, industrial vibe and that's fun and inventive. Service at the bar was friendly and they brought our drinks to us outside. We only had an hour free in our packed itinerary but I'd definitely head back to try the food and just partake in the great people-watching,

The fact that you will get delicious range of tapas with a drink order is definitely a misconception. We ordered the running bull sangria jug which arrived with a glass with one wedge of orange each and a jug of sangria for 20 bucks. The sangria was quite bitter leaving an awful bitter taste in our mouths. My friend didn't even drink a glass and I was left to drink the entire jug or almost. Yes it's strong but tasted awful. Our free tapas was a small tuna salad and it was just creamy tuna with an olive.quite bland and nothing special. Nearby table of three girls didn't even seem to have touched their sangria and left leaving their glasses mostly full. Yes drink a are cheaper than expected but not worth the taste.
