How livable is Wolli Creek really?

I'm considering buying in Wolli Creek and buying in a suburb that I've never rented in or lived in before is unnerving. I think I have a good feel of the place, but I'd love some feedback from locals:

• Are there really no bars or live music spaces? What's the deal?
• Are there any more "bits" of it hidden away than that central village?
• Is the mozzie situation bad next to the actual creek?

The vibe of the place seems lovely, but it's so hard to tell without living in a place. I don't mind the concrete jungle part, but what is the rest of the good bad and ugly?
