Off The Traxx

Great drinks, awesome pizza, bartender niki was friendly and pours great drinks. One of the best bars in downtown Melbourne. Recommend the bbq pizza, out of this world. Excellent honey mustard.

Our initial impression of this place was not good at all. There is a hostess podium just to the left of the door. We walked in and stood there, waiting to be seated. Within moments of entering a young woman, clearly an employee, walked up to the podium. She looked at us, took a seat on the stool beside the podium, took out her phone and started texting. She never acknowledged us, never said a word, just kept texting. Now, whether she was the hostess or not, I really don’t care. What on earth do you think we were standing there for? Eventually another employee walked by and told us to seat ourselves. Really? Would that have been too hard for her to tell us? The second negative was the horrendous live band. They were playing a large array of genres, which would have been great, but their arrangements were unrecognizable, and their voices more suited for silent movies. They were so loud that the waitress was literally screaming at us, and us at her. It was so ridiculous that she started laughing. The food, however was very good and the sangria was also very good. Diet Coke… is Pepsi ok? No! It’s really not! don’t servers ever get tired of asking? Is serving Pepsi such a savings? I think not.

This used to be my favorite place-​since new ownership the food is not any good and I should have just drank water … Drinks no good either .how can you ruin a simple pizza and drinks??? They did…

The air stinks and I was seated at a dirty booth. My wife and I turned and walked out. Forget about this place, it isn’t like it was years ago.

The server was pleasant and the food was pretty good, but it took forever to arrive. I was there after the lunch rush, so there weren’t a lot of people there, and it still took more than 20 minutes to get a roast beef sandwich.

–1. Honestly this place is sorry. Sure 1 – 15 of the bartenders is a straight dime but 12 – 13 of the bouncers are on either steriods or cocaine and have a tendency to bully and manipulate guys of smaller stature such as myself when they feel they can. This guy that works there I swear to god back handed me twice and when I complained the bouncer at the door says «there’s no one that works here by that description» as they let me out the door. Such a pathetic place please don’t spend money here

Its not really my scene but I come here for a drink with friends every now and then. The serve very well made drinks and the pizza is the best in downtown melbourne. Prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly.

This was a supremely fortuitous experience. We set out to watch the Dolphins game and tried 4 other places before finding this gem. My food was so fresh and good, dolphins were on the big screen and our bartender Nikki was attentive and awesome. Yay us! Made sure to write this review before I know the outcome of the fins.

Stopped in with a friend to have a snack and a beer while shopping. The beers were icy cold and the Hail Mary appetizer sampler was awesome. Only a few details to pick about: the poppers had no sign of jalapeños and the boneless wings were chicken strips, but everything was delicious… especially the bang bang shrimp. For $ 14, we both munched off the sampler and took enough home for an entire meal.

Had gone to this establishment with another couple back in July, 2015 around 8:30 for late dinner. It was okay. Nothing to «write home about», okay food and service.
Went back this last Saturday, August 22, 2015 for lunch. It was around 1:20 or so. The place was fairly empty. We requested a booth and were seated in one directly in line with the ice station at the bar. As we waited for our server to bring us our iced tea, we witnessed a slightly older than middle aged man get up from the end of the bar, take his GLASS rocks glass and scoop it into the ice and then pour himself a drink. My husband and I looked at each other mortified! When the server came back with our iced tea, we said no thank you and explained what we just saw. Her response was, «It’s okay. He’s the owner.» NO! It is not okay to use a glass to scoop ice. I believe it is a health code violation. We left and will never go back!

Always a good time. Plenty of things to choose from on the menu. The wings are very good and the French onion soup is to die for. We went for lunch our server was Alex. He was very personable and attentive. He had the personality that you would want every male server to have. I had the gorgonzola pizza. The crust was cooked just perfectly and the toppings were fresh. My son had the fried catfish basket which was also delicious. Nothing was overcooked, everything was seasoned well and we enjoyed ourselves. One of the things I really like is they give you a big drink so you don’t have to sit around and wait for refills. At night it’s a great place to go with friends grab some drinks and do a little dancing. It’s a big bar so you can scope out everyone.

It’s just a crappy sports bar. It’s really big, and there were a bunch of kids in it. A guy making balloon hats isn’t usually what I think of when going to a bar.

I tried their pizza by the slice and it is great! It definitely made me like this place more than I did in the past and warrants a 4-​star.

So im from out of town and i like to eat where locals eat. So i asked the cab driver and he couldn’t say enough nice stuff about this place. So the waitress was new new but extra nice and her customer service skills were off the chart! The drinks were not as strong as i would have liked them. The appetizer some steak bruchetta thing was awesome!!! But the prime rib was ok not great… they loaded up on the mashed taters but the steamed veggies were sparce… over all its medium

We found this place last year and it was awesome. Food and service. The last few times we’ve come the service has been horrible. The food is bland. Very disappointing. We will not be returning.

I Went there last night with my family. Service was quick and easy. Servers was very friendly.
We ordered the black bean burgers, this was super tasty and large enough for two persons easily. It’s a must order.
We also had the hot wings and blue cheese. This is also a must try.
Over all it was great food!

If you think someone serving you a drink 30 minutes before close and then literally YELLING at you to leave right after it was served and the employees saying, «these fuckin’ people! What’s with these fuckin’ people???» is a cool place then more power to you. Foo bar was so much better and people treated us with respect. We were given a pizza menu then told they didn’t want to take any more orders 3 minutes later. This place was the worst spot in downtown! We spent so much money and were treated horribly! Do not go here if you want to be treated with respect! The bouncers talked shit about us right in front of us and we were just normal people ordering drinks and food!

Two pool tables and STEEL dart boards. Staff to lazy to put new lights over the pool tables. Pizza was good. Drinks are
pricey $$$$. Very open and roomy. Open patio in the back and large bar in front.

The lunch specials are really great. It looks more like a bar from the outside, but it’s a nice place for a business lunch too. Friendly service and the pizza is outstanding! They are the large, New York style slices… very tasty! We’ll definitely be back.

This place was random. So random.
It’s a very large bar (located in the center of the place, with an ample amount of tables and booths scattered surrounding it. There is a tiny little stage in the back with a little dance floor in front of it.
When I entered there was a DJ playing a pretty decent mix of music, house, hip-​hop, Top 40. All dance worthy tracks. Then, a cover band started playing, which changed the bar vibe a bit. The music in here was BLARRING. I am from Vegas, you expect this in a club, but this is a bar. Come on now.
They offer malibu buckets (people drink from buckets!!!) and have an assortment of drink specials.
There were all kinds of people here. All different walks of life. I will give this bar kudos for checking IDs. The ONLY bar that did this on my trek around downtown on a Friday night.
The place was clean and the staff was really friendly. I do recommend that the turn the music down and set an overall theme for the night.
They do offer food and there are several TVs all over the place. Definitely a place to catch a game at.
