Where To Drink In Melbourne?

[Hefty]

Hi peoples,
I'll be in Melbourne on the first weekend of April (seeing "Wicked" with my wife and sister-in-law) and was wondering if people could recommend a good spot for some craftbrews on tap and possibly a good counter meal?

HABAHAGD!

Just be prepared to pay for craft beer on tap, or in bottle for that matter.

Not a counter meal, but some great pizzas. Bar Fred (www.barfred.com.au) has one of the best beer selections, local and imported.

Going there tonight actually, one of my favourites.

Otherwise I love the portland hotel (James Squire Brewhouse) for a meal and good beer.

CM2, if you're there now, I'll be pissed you didn't let me know.

Just here to second or third Mrs. Parma's, Bar Fred, Mtn Goat Brewery (open Wednesday and Friday nights only), 2 Brothers (open Thurs and Fri only, I believe), and the Local Taphouse.

An easy good beer crawl through Fitzroy and Collingwood could incorporate Grumpy's Green (specialising in Victorian craft beers), Lambsgo Bar, and the Fox Hotel (great local and import selection).

For a day trips outside the city, Hargreave's restaurant is still open and trading in Yarra Glen and Holgate Brewhouse in Woodend (abt. 1 hour by car or V-line from CBD) is open 7 days a week.

And can't believe I forgot to mention Beer DeLuxe in Fed Square. Quite a massive selection of bottled beers and always some interesting things on tap.

Ad was surprised no-one mentioned the royston Hotel in richmond which has hand pimped ales and a great selection of craft tap beer...and excellent food...get a bowl ( or 2 ) of the egg plant chips to nack on whilst having a couple of pre dinner drinks..

the royston Hotel in richmond which has hand pimped ales

The mind boggles... :lol:

The Great Britain On Church St Richmond and the Gem on Wellington St collingwood both have a pretty good selection of micros. The Gem has great food and a great atmosphere.

Go to my local.

The Terminus in Clifton hill just near the station. You will find 3 Ravens on tap there with a few other craft brews. Then the middle three taps are rotating craft brews that change once a month or so and then there is an extensive bottled beer choice with great food. Great low key but classy pub with great staff.
James and the guys know their beers too.
