Another favourite small business that l love is Alice's Alcove the off shoot of Alice's Cafe and Bar in Chelsea, a family owned and operated business. Matt & Meg are lovely people and nothing is too much trouble, they specialise in craft beer, sprits and wine, and have an extensive select of craft beer that is for sure. There is also a deli that has wide range of cheese, meat and fruit, well worth checking out. You can sit down and enjoy a fine ale, as they are fully licensed. I got the pizza from Beachside Pizza which conveniently located next door, and absolutely delicious. So go check them out, you will not be disappointed.

If you like ambience and personalised service then YOU MUST GET TO ALICE’S ALCOVE!!! What a great way to spend the day watching the footy or just having a drink with loved ones and friends. You need to visit Alice’s alcove. Meg and Matt are in attendance and are more than wiling to help you find a perfect beer or wine and some fantastic accompaniments from their fantastic selection of small goods and cheeses…basically..get there

Was looking for a place for a casual drink and nibble on labour day. The lovely wife and husband combo were in the middle of closing up but invited us in, let us order some pizzas from up the street and stay for some nice drinks and conversation. Will definitely be back. This is the kind of local place I will be going out of my way to support. Loved it, can see myself being a regular here

Had a great experience here! First time popping in and I received such wonderful and welcoming service! The lady that served me was extremely helpful in terms of product knowledge and recommendations and I was able to get everything that I needed for a platter I was doing. Wide selection of carefully picked out alcohol and food as well! It’s a must go to when in the area!

Had a fabulous time @Alice Alcove. It is a very welcoming store. So many choices of local Beers & Gins plus more. They have a great Deli section and more. I will definitely be visiting again. It is a one stop shop, and it's local.

With a drink selection to make even the most well travelled beer connoisseur find something different, and with pizzas from Beachside Pizza next door - this is a hidden gem within Chelsea!

I am loving the atmosphere here! Perfect place to kick back with a beer or wine and nibbles! Best place ever! Definitely a must.

Great independent venue, close to Chelsea Beach. Range of wines and spirits you wont find in the mainstream stores

Great selection of Beer Wine and Spirits… to top it off they have great charcuterie options …

Very good service and the owner are very friendly. One of the best experiences in Melbourne.

A hidden gem in Chelsea! Good place to check out some local craft beers.

Fantastic location. Brilliant staff - thank you
