    Okay, this place wasn't the easiest of places to get to, but once I managed to negotiate the maze…read morethat was the industrial estate I found myself at a place that was truly magnificent - a craft beer brewery. Actually, this was probably better than the bars because it is in here that you will discover beers that you simply will not find elsewhere, and that was certainly what happened to me. Yes, the beers were pretty awesome, though this place isn't all that big, and does get a little crowded. Still, I come here for the beers.

    I'm so beyond happy that I finally made it to Hop Nation…read more This place is in a pickle to find, even with the help of Google Maps. The turn to get here is very sudden, leaving no room for error. It's a good thing that U-turns are an easy fix. Hop Nation is located in a very industrial plot. It's a quaint, little, chill, no fuss set-up. Set amongst the warehouses, there's an open roller door which leads way to a craft brewery. Hop Nation defines all of the indie expectations that come with craft beer and it's nestled into Footscray. There's a few standing cocktail tables with high seats, then your eyes meet a quaint little bar. They have a few beers on tap, and popcorn for the munchies. Load up with your choices and find a seat, I'm sure you won't be in a hurry to get out of this brew bar. The best thing is that Hop Nation welcome outside food. That's a huge plus for a venue. And you will want food, cause you will be snuggling yourself in, trying out their beers. You have the option of bringing your own, or getting UberEats delivered. It's a cool spot perfect for a midday session. And the beers are spot on too.

    Brilliant yet again. The fine people at The Hof Downtown really make sure you have the best night…read more Food is brilliant and the beers, large and crisp. If you're looking for a fabulous German night out in Melbourne, look no further. Restaurant is spacious and the crew here really go all out to make sure you have a great time. This is the third time in a row I've had a birthday here and I really feel the need to recognise how good it is to eat and drink here. I usually go to a German place on my birthday and this is where I will keep going. After so many German meals, both here and in Germany, I think I'm well qualified to make the recommendation.

    My team headed here for lunch on a Friday and this place was packed out! Luckily we got a table…read moreoutside (gotta enjoy those rare sunny Melbourne days!) and fairly common in pubs is the practice of ordering and paying at the bar, which is great for large groups as there is zero hassle of splitting a bill at the end. The lunch specials for $13.50 sounded pretty good, so I got a skewer of mixed sausages with potato salad and green salad (on the menu it's called Wurstlspiess). Waited at the bar for my beer and by the time I got back to the table, within 5 minutes of sitting down, my dish was served woo hoo! Considering how busy they were, I was stoked at the fast turnaround time (I was starving!!). Didn't seem like they were too consistent though, as half my colleagues got theirs quickly and the other half waited longer. Let's just say I was happy to be on the right half of the team :) The meal itself was A OK! It was a complete package of meat, carbs and greens. With mustard. Yum! The sausages didn't have that 'fresh off the bar-bee' taste, but can't complain, there was variety (4 different kinds), and I think compared to the other specials, this looked more appetizing. Serving size was just right for me. The venue itself is cool, decked out like a Bavarian beer hall with servers in traditional garb. Check it out for lunch if you're in the area!

    I didn't want to review this club, because I didn't want to share the best kept secret in…read moreMelbourne. But I will because it's just too awesome. It's hip, urban underground and smooth. Classy yet it doesn't even appear they are trying. Open from Wednesday through Sunday, each night the Mango Bar comes alive with different sounds and genres of music. They've certainly got their pulse on the hottest up and coming local acts, as well as playing host to a range of renowned international DJ's. Each night there's something diff; electro funk, deep house, jazz and blues - there's something for everyone at Mango. The drinks menu deserves a rave as well. Spirits, beer and wine, as well as a sensational selection of martini's, cocktails and the signature Mango Daiquiri. It's like an oasis away from home. Somewhere you feel totally comfortable, totally chilled out and completed entertained by the music and live acts. There. The secrets out. Now go and enjoy!

    Another Hall st gem!…read more Great selection of drinks, from $5 Friday happy hour, to cocktails & top shelf whisky's Mango is the perfect amount of chilled tunes & chatty crowd, with a small dance floor to carve up listening to resident & guest DJ's later in the night if the mood so grabs you, or enjoy the outdoor seating & perhaps throw in a game of jenga. BYO food (pretzels / crisps / nuts onsite for sale), and drop in for a quiet one, or settle in for an awesome night with the staff, old friends & new! PS- word is the espresso martini is the bomb (I don't drink coffee myself. Yes, we do exist)
