Great public space with food, drink and toilets close to fed. Square, but more private. Handy for the isn't Potter ngv collection, tram route nearby.

Questionably clean public restroom, good coffee and decent food and not so bad selection of beers and ales in the Beer DeLux. That's about it. Image taken from across the street, weird, right?

Dazzling facade of geometric glass, the hallway to ACMI, Fed Square and The Ian Potter Centre.
