Melbourne, Australia's

It's fair to say that Melbourne's bar scene is something of a hidden gem with many tourists and locals yet to discover the delights on offer in this vibrant city.

Melbourne is an Australian city renowned for its incredible bars, cafes (and coffee), restaurants, concerts, and other events. One of the best parts of the city is its bar and nightclub scene. I'll show you the best bars to go to in Melbourne and what they're particularly known for.

Looking for a new bar to go to with your friends? Melbourne has thousands of them. There are so many bars that you probably can't name them all (unless you are obsessed with bars: then maybe). I've tried most of the bars out there and have consolidated my findings into one well-referenced list.

CBD bars are all the rage nowadays. they are a unique, tasty, and healthy alternative to your favorite ice cream or dessert bars. but where did this delicious new trend come from? how was it started? is it something that is here to stay? cbd bars were not invented in recent years. however, there has always been a debate on whether or not they should be allowed to be produced, sold, and consumed.

Melbourne, Australia's Most Loved Bar

Melbourne is a city of many bars. With so many to choose from, it can be difficult to find the best place to spend your time and money.

However, some bars stand out above the rest. Here are five of Melbourne's most popular bars, and why they're worth a visit if you're visiting the city.

The Prince Alfred Hotel

The Prince Alfred Hotel is one of Melbourne's oldest pubs and has been around since 1854. It's located in the heart of Melbourne's CBD on Russell Street, which means it's easy to get to from anywhere in the city. The bar itself has a lot of character, with plenty of interesting artifacts on display including old signs and photographs from the past 160 years. There's also live music every Friday at 8 pm, so if you're looking for somewhere quiet for a drink after work or want somewhere lively for an evening out then this is the place!

The Public Bar

If you're looking for something a little less traditional then The Public Bar might be more up your street! This relaxed bar serves up modern Australian food alongside an extensive list of craft beers and cocktails that have been carefully selected.

The Carlton Club Hotel

One of Melbourne's best-known bars is tucked away down a side street in Lygon Street, Carlton, and is home to some of Melbourne's best musicians. A great spot for an early evening drink before dinner or after work with live music every night from 6 pm until late.

The Laundry Bar

This bar is located in the heritage-listed Victoria Market building, which was built in 1878 and converted into a bar in 2004. It's an underground venue that has been described as having a speakeasy feel. The bar has been awarded one of Australia's best bars by The Age newspaper and it serves up cocktails that have been created by some of the country's top mixologists.

The Northcote Social Club

This pub is located near the Northcote Town Hall, which was built between 1935 and 1939. The pub itself opened in 2008 and it has quickly become one of Melbourne's most popular venues. There are several areas inside this venue including an outdoor beer garden, two levels of indoor seating as well as a rooftop area that overlooks Melbourne City Centre. The food at this pub is also very good so be sure to try their burgers or pizzas while you're there!

You can find great coffee, pizza, late-night eats, and live music in Melbourne

Melbourne is the perfect place for foodies, with a huge range of restaurants in every style of food from around the world.

But if you’re not into fine dining or fancy French cuisine, don’t worry — there are plenty of places to grab a quick bite or grab a beer with friends.

With the announcement of their new cbd rooftop bars, The Highliner at The Haymarket Hotel, the team wanted to let their fans and followers know about the newest addition to their growing family of bars. Aptly named after their CBD-rich hemp oil, Cannabidiol Rooftop Bar or commonly known as "CBD Rooftop," offers a fun, upbeat ambiance and a premium experience unlike any other in Los Angeles.

Here are some of our favorite spots in Melbourne:

1. Carlton (CBD)

2. Fitzroy (CBD)

3. Collingwood (CBD)

The live music scene in Melbourne

The live music scene in Melbourne is rich and varied. From jazz to folk, from rock to hip hop, there’s something for everyone. And when it comes to venues, few cities in the world can compete with our great city.

So if you’re looking for a night out with great live music, here are some of our favorites:

The Corner Hotel – Richmond

The Corner Hotel is one of the best places to catch a gig in Melbourne. With an eclectic mix of local and international acts playing every night of the week, this iconic venue always has something going on. And if you don’t like what they have on offer, there’s always its infamous downstairs bar where you can sip on a cold one while listening to some of Melbourne’s best DJs spin some vinyl.

The Gasometer Hotel – South Wharf

The Gasometer Hotel is located right next door to the Melbourne Convention Centre at South Wharf so it often gets overlooked when it comes to living music venues in Melbourne. That said, this place deserves a mention because it has a great sound system and an equally impressive lineup of DJs and bands each weekend.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
