Definitely worth a visit. The pieces are all very mixed up. You have ancient coins next to ultra modern items, and of course there is all the abstract stuff.
The ipod information device was helpful, but slow to respond, and find the right item you were standing in front of. It would be nice if this was more accurate and updated automatically, not have to spend a minute to search and find it.
$20 seems a bit steep for entry.

It has the look of an old man bar from the outside...and not much is different on the inside, but the crowd makes this place great. Good, standard priced drinks, and a great venue with many different rooms, enough that you can almost get lost in this place, and a multiple of rooms including a generous outdoor section. Came here one night with a dj playing, and a hundred or so people packed in. Was a great night

down down, food quality standards are down. down down, food customer service standards are down.
"Fresh produce" here is tasteless junk, which I believe is not fresh at all, but has actually been put in storage for many months, kept from decomposing with chemicals. This is a known common tactic by supermarkets. There is no way Apples breeds that are only in season a very short window of the year are served all year round

Food was ok, but below expectations. Not terrible, but for the price you think it would be as good, if not better than other less well known and famous indian restuarants. Delivery time was ok, but again, charge a large fee for delivery, more than anyone else has ever charged me. Servings were also a bit smaller than other usual places. Not sure if it's always been like this, or their reputation has just gone down hill, as I'm new to this establishment.

After trying their product and finding it did not mix well and had an unpleasant flavour the following happened:
I received an email from Bulk Powders stating they had been hacked by "Malaysian cybercrime skimming hackers".
The email was extremely convoluted and they would not make clear what happened, nor take any responsibility, but as I understand it my and every other users accounts and credit cards were potentially compromised.

Also just recently Ive received emails from other Melbourne companies using the single purpose email I'd used for Bulk Powders, which seems to indicate to me that Bulk Powders has sold my email address to spammers or friend's businesses against my will.
Avoid

Cool bar, with interesting interior wood work on the walls behind the bar, which gives this place a unique vibe.
Relxaed drinks, no hassles crowd, and even a galaga table machine to pass some time. The outdoor bench seats are great, and you will most likely be sharing with a few other people, but you'll tend to meet a few new crew, and make some random new friends whilst talking over a few cold beers.
