St Jeromes decor is alot more original, but probally so was the owners mind :) i like both places' decor, but i prefer sister bella just for the fact that it is roomier and the people are nicer. :P 2 dollar coffee’s and 4 dollar pizzas(before 4 ‘clock anyway). how could you not love sister bella. haha

I love the shabby and grungey look, but not when obvious effort has been put into achieving it (akin to Hollywood stars looking casual and dishevelled, after hours of preparation). This then becomes contrived. <br/><br/>Anyway, that was my initial impression of Sister Bella, but like I said it was early days, and I'm more than willing to give it another go. I'm all for keeping prices down ;) thanks for your comment Alistair.

I prefer it to st Jermone's because it has more space and has a more subdued ambiance. However, it is not a ground breaking concept but that doesn't mean it is not a good bar. This type of bar is done well in Melbourne and is well suited to the seemingly deadends that they are found in. <br/><br/>I am not sure what elegantgourmand means by 'pushing the shabby-chic envelope a little too hard' as it seems like a criticism for criticism - sake. <br/><br/>I didn't eat there but the pasta dishes are apparently good value for money. If bars like this keep popping up then at least it will keep the prices down. I went to Sister Bella on Wednesday night and the vibe was great.
