Review: Carrie Lindsay
Located at the top of Bourke Street, and organised over two levels, Spleen Central is a great place to go for a quiet drink and to catch up with friends.
The bar is located adjacent to the entrance, with plenty of bar stools to rest the weary legs. Tables and chairs are located towards the rear for those who venture past the bar, and there are comfy couches upstairs to accommodate larger groups.
The interior decor comprises an eclectic mix of pieces, which we're told, have been salvaged from auctions and garage sales. At Spleen Central, the atmosphere is smooth and the music jazzy!
Second Opinion
One of those cluttery bars that are instantly cosy with the dim lighting and mismatched furniture. Bonus is that you only need a handful of people to start having problems getting to the bar. One of the originals, and still one of the best.

Readers' Reviews
We love this place, warm, cosy and very good value. With all the old sofas and brick-a-brac, it is like drinking in your Grandma's living room!
