Bar Review – HolliAva (Richmond VIC) – 2 Stars

It seemed to me that the popularity of HolliAva is really its downfall. They sell themselves as a funky bar with a great selection of drinks, and a nice place to relax with friends. When I was there, it was busy and loud. And standing three deep at the bar, if you’d asked for anything more fancy than a couple of beers, you’d have been lynched. I had a good night, but that was more a function of who I was there with. This bar is circular logic – people going there makes it popular, and its popularity makes people go.
