If you’re looking for a craft brewery, Melbourne isn’t a bad place to start. It’s got plenty of them, the only problem is sorting out the goodies from the baddies. Well, you’re in luck because we’ve conveniently done that for you. There’s something exciting and special about drinking something someone lovingly made all in one place. Plus, it’s fresher than anything you can get at a liquor store and you’re supporting your local businesses all at the same time.
These are all venues for people who loooove beer, just like you do, which is why you’re reading this and not working like you should be. So instead of going to your usual local for your next round of drinks, go for something different and make one of these your new locals for a tasty drop to tickle your taste buds.

The centre of the city, home to many major attractions, and where you should base yourself. My observation of the CBD is that unlike other major cities (like Sydney), almost the entirety of the city feels pedestrian, retail, and safe. Sure, there are businesses in highrise, the ground floor is almost exclusively shops, restaurants and bars, which makes it great (if a little overwhelming) to explore on foot.
Looking for something a little different and fun for your next get together and want to visit the best escape rooms in Melbourne? The concept alone is enough to get you excited and escape rooms are a fun and often enthralling way to spend an evening with your buddies and loved ones.
They’re immersive, sometimes adrenaline-fueled, sometimes scary; but most of all it’s an activity that promotes teamwork and allows you to disconnect from your phones and the outside world and reconnect with our friends and family.
A city of culture, coffee, colour and contrasts, Melbourne is widely regarded as one of the best all-around cities not only in Australia but on the global stage.

As a frequent contender for the title of "World's Most Liveable City", it's an urban metropolis that still retains something of a small-town feel, with an emphasis on the artistic, quality dining and plenty of historic architecture to explore.
