What the Melbourne press has to
say about Pause ... |
" Like the saccharine jam hiding in your doughnut, Pause
(nestled inconspicuosly between a two-dollar shop and a newsagent)
hides in the centre of Carlisle street just waiting for you to
find it. It promises to serve you equally well whether you are
dropping in for a quick drink or are committed to a long, lazy
night of wine, cocktails and food. We recommend lining your belly
with meatballs Marakesh before diving into a wasabi bloody mary.
Then once you've indulged in all the food and drink you can
afford, you can sprawl out on a couch and pass out by the dim
candlelight. Perfection. "

" Leading the charge in a revitalised Carlisle St is Pause,
a laid-back ethnic-infused cocktail bar. With a smartly chosen
cocktail list and charming bar staff, Pause is perfect for
escaping the travails of the world outside and settling in for a
long and determined session.
With bar food available and some comfy couches it's easy
to lay back and drift away or reminisce on past travels accompanied
by a tasty beverage. The crowd is a mix of knowledgable wine
drinkers, eclectic regulars and trendy 20 to 30 somethings. Try
their popular Wednesday Jazz nite for a healthy dose of mid-week
revelry. "

" A souk-cessful
design features Islamic arches. splashbacks of 'zillij' tiling and a
signature wall of sky blue and bronze stripes. "
" Nightlife in this part of Balaclava used to be limited to the
pinnies, pokies or pizza, so it is little surprise that locals have
embraced Pause .... "
" ... we love the stunning angled cement slab basins backed with a
classic take on Moroccan zillij panels. "
" ... the bar staff strut, serve and bend down for yet another beer
... They're the best looking blokes in the place and charming to the
boot. And that alone is reason enough for coming here. " |
