Picture Neo and Trinity in a white room. When asked what they want, he says "Beer. Lots of beer." They are then brought to the front steps of Volo.
And here I thought I had been to places with a great beer selection before! I loved my evening here from the overwhelming beer menu to their fantastic food!
We were warned before ordering our dinner that it would take sometime as the kitchen was pretty busy, but the wait between our drinks arriving and the waitress coming back to get our food order seemed longer than the actual food prep time. It didn't really matter as we were not in a particular rush, (if we were, this might have been a 4 star review). But you could spend ages going through the beer menu (and the chalk board) with what you would like to sample, from $8 - $9 650ml bottles to $40 and over! I would never order a bottle for the price of over $15 or $20, but the higher prices does make me curious!
It was a shame that a lot of their bottles were out of stock so I went with the waiter's recommendation of "Tipperary" a pale ale full of flavour!
I recommend letting the staff know what type of beer you do enjoy and they will definitely recommend something that's right up your alley.
Everything in the short menu seems simple, but you just get a feeling that they would make it so everything clicks and you end up with a tassty Italian dish! I got the "volo burger" and for $16 it was very nicely done, not an overdose of food like you would get at more mainstream joints. We ordered a cheese plate as well and I definitely recommend it for a great sharing start! I almost forgot the dessert too! No matter what, you should seriously consider indulging!!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance and their wooden tables chairs and benches, surprisingly comfy! The staff were very friendly despite being busy and that always warrants extra star points from me! Volo is in such a great location as well that I will definitely be taking people there more often!
Note - they do not accept Mastercard, and I hear the female washroom has one stall without a door...or something like that.
