A crazy mishmash of seedy European styles makes for an eccentric little slice of bar heaven tucked away in a dark Chinatown alley.

Editorial


Eurotrash is a dirty little delight tucked down a dark alley in Chinatown. Seems to be a recurring theme in Melbourne that most of the best bars are hidden down what at first appear to be bin lanes where you may very well get mugged and or stabbed. Perhaps the exhilaration of the risk factor makes the eventual bar relief all the sweeter? The basic premise of this particular delight is a mishmash of the seedier but sexy sides of European culture. And it real is a mishmash. The two storey venue is a crazy combination of separate mismatching areas, from the German beer hall themed Oktoberfest, to the plush cushioned alcove of the Harem Lounge, to the chic French Brassiere and back down into skank with the Red Light District. It shouldn't work (pick one them and run with it) but somehow it does. Gloriously. And each are can be booked out privately.

The young and alternative crowd lap up a fantastic cocktail and shooters list, all mixed up by the hot and fun bartenders. There's even the world's dinkiest beer garden; a perfect sport for sharing something tasty and wet.

Make sure you explore all the nooks and crannies. There's even a rather impressive little gallery space. What's more, the handy scenery changes in close proximity mean Eurotrash has a clever little sideline business in renting out spaces for photo shoots. So if you're in the mood for some glamour shots, this bar's bang on the money.

This place is a bit of a dive. The beer hall is actually just a table in one corner of the room. I guess the unfriendly staff add to the euroness of this place.

Don't get excited that this place will be worth a look - basically 1 room, lacked atmosphere and the staff are thickos - esp the bar chick....how many times do you have to say vodka before she gets it??

What a let down, full of underage drinkers with attitude. Bar staff are rude but I guess that goes with the euro theme.

I get people's views on this place- I have been put off by the bar staff on occasion, but it really is a cool little place. I think this site has a good word to say on it: http://t-squat.com/issue6/tsquat_hospo_issue6.html#euro
