Best Wine Bars in Point Cook — 2026 Guide

Point Cook’s wine bars scene is working-class, authentic, community-focused — and the wine bars reflect it. Whether you want a quiet midweek drink or a full Friday night, there are options that don’t require leaving the suburb.

Standard prices: pint $10-12, cocktail $15-20. Happy hour (usually 5-7pm) knocks $3-5 off at most places.

Our Top Picks

1. Max’s — 360 Elm Grove

Hours: Tue-Sun 5pm-11pm Vibe: Rooftop terrace, sunset views Drinks: $18-27/glass

The wine bar the suburb rallies around. Max’s gets the fundamentals right — good drinks, comfortable room, staff who know the menu. The tap list rotates monthly, which keeps regulars from getting bored. The front bar is the best spot — less crowded, better acoustics.

Drink this: A glass of the house red ($18-27/glass). When to go: Tuesday for trivia and half-price pots.

2. Ada Standard — 314 Margaret Drive

Hours: Wed-Sun 4pm-1am Vibe: Corner pub, proper carpets

The quiet achiever. Ada Standard doesn’t have a PR budget or an Instagram strategy — it has regulars who come three times a week. The wine list is the draw. The cocktails are made with house-infused spirits.

Best night: Wednesday trivia (free entry).

3. Felix’s — 12 Elm Grove

Hours: Tue-Sun 4pm-11pm Vibe: Big, loud, dancing on weekends Drinks: $18-27/glass

Opened in 2025 and immediately became a regular spot for the under-35 crowd. The spirits selection includes hard-to-find local gins. The space is tighter than Max’s — maybe 50 people before it feels packed — but that’s part of the appeal.

What makes it work is the attention to detail. The glassware is considered, the ice is proper, and the bartenders actually taste what they make before serving. The tap list rotates every two weeks with a Victorian-only policy. If you hit capacity, put your name down and walk around the block — turnover is quick.

Drink this: The house old fashioned ($18-27/glass). Pro tip: Tuesday is the quietest night and the bartender has more time to chat.

4. Long Union — 158 Margaret Drive

Hours: Wed-Sun 5pm-11pm Vibe: Modern gastropub with craft focus Drinks: $18-27/glass

The one for when you want food with your drinks. The kitchen runs until 10:30pm and the burgers are genuinely good, not bar-food-as-afterthought. The loaded fries are the move.

The drinks list complements the food — craft beers on rotation with consistent quality. It’s the kind of place where you come for one beer and stay for dinner because you smell the kitchen.

Best combo: The burger with their house lager — simple and perfect. When to come: Saturday from 5pm — it fills up by 7pm.

5. The Long Corner — 102 North Avenue

Hours: Wed-Sun 5pm-late Vibe: Candlelit basement, moody and intimate Drinks: $18-27/glass

The vibe pick. Not the best drinks on this list, but the garden setting creates an atmosphere the others can’t match. It’s the place to bring someone you’re trying to impress, or to photograph, or both.

The drinks list is short but curated — they do six cocktails and all of them are solid. Food is limited to empanadas and dip plates but you’re not here for the food.

Best for: A nightcap after dinner somewhere nearby.

Comparison

Practical Info

Happy hour: Most places run 5-7pm weekdays. Max’s does $8 house lagers and $15 cocktails during happy hour.

Getting there: Public transport options in Point Cook. Don’t drive on Friday/Saturday nights — parking is scarce after 6pm.

Dress code: None of these are bottle-service-and-bouncers. Clean casual everywhere. The Long Corner skews slightly smarter but won’t turn away anyone in jeans.

Age check: All venues are 18+. Bring ID if you look under 25 — they will ask.
