Must-visit Bars in Melbourne

Next_Studio: Any bar that's themed as a science lab gets the nerd stamp of approval. Sample a boutique, micro-brewed beer while you dissect a frog!

BapERNARD: It might look like something out of Alice in Wonderland, but the bar gets its name from a Lonsdale St brothel owner of the late 19th century. The rooftop terrace is a MUST when you visit Melbourne! Read more.

Simon Mckenna: $10 jugs of boags between 5-7pm and 9-11pm

phocks: Pat the giraffe. Read more.

AskMen: There’s no better way to take in the splendour of the CBD on a long summer's day than the roof of Curtain House. Transition a late night down to a booth at the Toff in Town, and you’re golden.

Samuel Dawson: Try the beer, it's just like any other beer but you're at Pony so it's more hardcore.

PJ Craig: Great food, great music, great people, great vibe. A blessing to ormond

George Dunford: Rooftop in summer is definitely the way to go.

Gerard Anderson: Potbelly pies and a pot for $10 daily

Brendan Tonkin: Nice little bar upstairs with the majority of the venue being band room or dance floor dance stairs depending on the night. Check out website with gig guide, galleries and more info.

Sean Callanan: Great starting point for @melbpubcrawl, follow for news of next #melbpubcrawl Read more.
