It’s time to celebrate the great pubs of Melbourne with the team from Time Out, May 18th brings the 2nd annual Pub Awards being held at Beer DeLuxe at Fed Square and they are going old school and bringing back pub classics with a good old fashioned raffle, a great band (The Beans) to tear the house down and even a lucky badge draw.

The rooftop bar Naked in the Sky, if you can pretend the crowds aren’t there, watching the sun go down from the balcony on a Sunday arvo with a couple ciders and your partner in crime is a delicious way to pass the time trying to forget tomorrow is Monday. The food is superb too!
Sister Bella! it’s cosy, it’s cheap and it’s found down the end of a grimy alleyway; much like my own sister, but better because it doesn’t steal my food.
