Nick & Nora’s

NORMALLY I go to a bar to chillax and UNWIND. However, this Nick & Nora’s visit was Part 3 of a “Walking Whisky Tour” around Melbourne, so I was on a little ADVENTURE! It was the LAST stop on the tour of whisky bars (sooo… several whiskies in). Entrance tip: ignore the Collins Street address!…

Molly Rose

MY goodness what a MEGA pretty spot for a brewery! I’m no stranger to the Molly Rose, but this visit was thanks to a GABS voucher promising a FREE snack with a pint – say no more. A QUICK tram ride from Melbourne to Collingwood, and I WAS THERE – First impression? A gorgeous beer…

Lulie Tavern

Love it, even if I don’t know what a LULIE is! After a HOT TIP from a certain Brisbane TV presenter (you know who you are 👀), I was pointed in the direction of Lulie Tavern – A perfect opportunity to get out of Melbourne CITY and over to Abbotsford. WHEN I saw the NEON…

Kent Street

KEEN to check out Kent Street bar, thanks to a HOT TIP from a Brisbanite! I ended up discovering the MOST delicious hazy Nectarine beer (and I didn’t even know that was a thing!) OUTSIDE: It’s a bustling Fitzroy BAR (kicking myself I didn’t get a pic of the SIGN, too busy filming myself –…

Jack & Bones Island bar

JUST loitering out front, getting some SIGNAGE SNAPS like the content goblin I am, til I wandered in to Jack & Bones Island Bar, THEN I HEARD: “HEY! Thanks for entering my venue!” This is your place?? “Yeah, I’m Jhai”. And THAT is how I met the coolest bar manager in Melbourne. Jhai is exactly…

Insignia on Flinders

I walked in and IMMEDIATELY did a double take – What is THAT behind the BAR?! It’s a FISH TANK! What a delightful surprise Insignia on Flinders! IT IS right across the road from the Melbourne Aquarium, so that checks. AND if you look bottom right of this PIC – there’s a grey GROUPER fish…

Hats & Tatts

How many HATS and how many TATTS, I hear you ask? Hats: minimal. Tatts: infinite! The night I went in search of Hats & Tatts – there was no sign out front, just a security dude hovering by a door. On a not-too-busy street in Melb CBD, I asked: is this Hats & Tatts?! “YEP!”…

Goldilocks

GATHER ROUND, and let me tell you a tale of a CHICK who walked into a bar… Once upon an evening, she set off in search of the PERFECT bar> The first place she found was nearly empty, the music barely a whisper, and the bartender indifferent. One sip of her drink, and she knew—”Too…

Fox Friday, Melbourne

FROM the outside it LOOKS like a FOX – A woody WAREHOUSE of a FOX, with a BREWERY inside! SLY move, Fox Friday, I’m onto you.. 🦊 INSIDE: a massive bar awaits, with an even bigger menu – (SPY on the BREWERY behind all those beverages!) MY FIRST visit to the Fox was a catch…

Evie’s Disco Diner

EVEN THO I was on my way to another bar > when I changed trams: Evie’s Disco Diner was RIGHT THERE. AND with a name like that: I HAD TO POP IN! BLUE and RAINBOW on the outside – PINK and DISCO on the inside!! I love it already. Up to the bar for ONE…
