Subscribe The Best New Bars in Melbourne in 2025
In need of a new place to wind down? From subterranean cocktail dens to Parisian-style wine bars, these are the best new bars in Melbourne.
Melbourne’s bar scene is a story in constant motion — an ever-shifting constellation of rooftops, laneway hideaways, and candlelit boltholes. Each neighbourhood pours its own character into the glass: summer evenings unfurl high above the city with a spritz in hand, while winter finds us drawn to snug pubs, wine bars and cocktail lounges that glow against the chill.
From rare vintages to boundary-pushing mixes, from glamorous occasions to everyday escapes, these are the new bars in Melbourne where atmosphere and craft combine — and every drink feels like a chapter worth savouring.
The Local Drop
In Collingwood’s creative quarter, The Local Drop blurs the lines between neighbourhood wine bar, cafe, and bottle shop with enviable ease. By day, the light-filled space hums with locals over espresso; by night, glasses of carefully chosen pinot and chardonnay glide across sleek counters. The team’s rolodex of winemakers reads like Australia’s greatest hits, but they’ll also steer you to something off-beat and thrilling. Equal parts retail, rendezvous, and refuge, this is Collingwood’s new address for effortless sophistication.
116 Rokeby Street, Collingwood
Boire
Boire has officially landed in North Melbourne, and it’s already rewriting the rules of snackable indulgence. From the team behind Mauritian-infused favourite Manzé, this light-drenched bar transforms small plates into moments of theatre — taro fritters and lamb ribs that vanish in seconds, smoked prawn soup sending curls of aroma across the room. Sandwiches are unapologetically show-stopping too: jammy egg with pickled beetroot, rotisserie chicken still smoking as it arrives. With rare wines flowing and a hum that grows from afternoon glow to midnight murmur, Boire feels less like a bar and more like your new weekday-to-weekend ritual of pleasure.
8 Errol Street, North Melbourne
Malin
On a leafy Carlton North corner, Malin is rewriting the script on what a wine bar can be. The debut project from Tash Sorensen and French chef Clément Pilâtre hums with intimacy and invention, housed in a beautifully restored 1880s building. The menu is in constant evolution — one week it’s beef-and-oyster tartare crowned with champagne sabayon, the next Moroccan-spiced chicken ballotine or coconut-rum mashed potato. Minimal-intervention wines flow, service sparkles with grace, and the mood is equal parts European elegance and neighbourhood ease. Malin doesn’t just pour drinks — it orchestrates evenings that feel truly transportive.
687 Rathdowne Street, Carlton North
Slowpoke
High above Collingwood, Slowpoke Lounge & Lookout feels like a fever dream brought to life — part rooftop reverie, part disco-soaked daydream. From the crew behind Daybreak Festival, it channels retro Italian glamour and brutalist edge into a lounge that’s all plush booths, terrazzo tables and sun-spilled corners. Harry Costello’s cocktails lean playful yet polished: a hazelnut espresso martini, coconut margarita, yerba maté spritz, and the signature Picante laced with chilli, coriander and honey. Add 360-degree views, DJ-spun nights and a come-as-you-are spirit, and you’ve got Melbourne’s freshest rooftop playground — nostalgic, decadent, and impossible to leave.
Current Pour: Sip the Sage’s Rose Cocktail at Slowpoke — a rose-pink, sweet-smoky-floral creation inspired by Troye and Sage Sivan’s TSU LANGE YOR fragrance. With violette, cherry and rose vermouth in the mix, it’s as perfumed as it is pretty. But don’t dilly-dally — this limited-edition pour disappears after 21st September (although here’s hoping it kicks around a little longer).
Level 4/50 Gipps Street, Collingwood
Natural Science Wine & Liquor
Blackburn’s Natural Science Wine & Liquor is a sun-dappled dream — all retro energy in yellow and green, vintage Sebel chairs, and shelves that gleam with bottles of pure Australian talent. Founded by Tristan Jallais and Joyce Chua, it’s part bottle shop, part bar, and entirely devoted to independent producers. Expect minimal-intervention wines, small-batch spirits, craft beers, and even non-alc drops — no imports, no big corporates. With four rotating taps, clever cocktails, and the loveliest team pouring with care, it’s a suburban charmer that feels like a community hub you’ll want to return to again and again.
9a Salisbury Avenue, Blackburn
The George Hotel
Across from South Melbourne Market, The George has reclaimed its rightful place as the suburb’s beating heart. A century-old pub reborn under Scott Connolly, it’s where tartan carpets and footy photos nod to nostalgia while burrata with chilli oil, jungle curry barramundi and on-the-bone parmas keep things deliciously current. With happy-hour pots, all-day Sunday roasts, and a courtyard shaded by retro umbrellas, it’s every bit the locals’ lounge room — with just enough polish to make it destination dining.
139 Cecil Street, South Melbourne
Times New Roman
In a world of $28 spritzes and mood lighting so dim you can’t see your date, Times New Roman is a revelation — a wine bar that feels like slipping into your Nonna’s sunroom after a long day, where the lace curtains glow golden and dinner is always on point. From the Good Times Pasta crew, this brand-new Brunswick East gem serves up $6 half-bowls stirred with genuine love, and full serves starting at just $12. Think bolognese, napoletana, vongole, and more. Add $12 Negronis, $3 bread, $6 burrata, and even jugs of punch to finish you off (gently). Warm, weirdly nostalgic, and wildly affordable — in this economy, it’s hands down the best new bar in Melbourne.
66 Lygon Street, Brunswick East
Hickens Hotel
Melbourne’s former Crafty Squire on Russell Street has levelled up as Hickens Hotel — literally. After a $12 million glow-up, this four-story icon now serves nostalgia on tap, with a copper tank-fresh Carlton Draught bar dripping 70s rumpus vibes and a rooftop that’s pure golden hour goals. From Cheese & Vegemite Garlic Bread to sticky honey chicken and crab ‘fish fingers,’ the menu slings classic Aussie pub hits with playful flair. Sports junkies will worship Abe’s Athletic Hall — think massive screens, arcade games, and karaoke madness.
Hickens Hotel? More like the city’s new out-of-work hours pulse.
127 Russell Street, Melbourne
Crown Croissanteria By Night
Melbourne’s flakiest pastry house has slipped into something a little more glamorous with the arrival of Croissanteria By Night. When the last flat white is poured and twilight settles, the space transforms — mood lighting flickers, champagne corks pop, and European small plates start circulating. A lobster roll croissant steals the show, buttery and outrageous in the best way, while cocktails flirt between playful and elegant: rhubarb fizz, peach-and-tea Bellini, Grey Goose elderflower mist. It’s the kind of after-dark indulgence you’ll be dreaming about tomorrow.
Crown Melbourne
Le Pub
The final piece of the Hardware Lane trinity has arrived — and it’s a belter. Le Pub is where Aussie corner pub nostalgia meets European savoir-faire, where you’ll find oxtail, snails, and marrow encased in golden suet crust, washed down with one of the delicious beers on tap, a $15 house pour or a rare bottle from the 250-strong selection next door. All-day cotechino muffins, indie rock, mirrored alcoves and op-shop plates set the mood, while the wine cellar below whispers secrets of late-night revelry.
This is pub grub, elevated — and Melbourne’s never looked more chic with a pie in hand.
380 Little Bourke Street, Melbourne
Pendant Public Bar
Found just off bustling Brunswick Street, Pendant Public Bar is the kind of effortlessly cool local that Fitzroy does best. Brought to life by Everleigh and Black Pearl alums Belinda Linton and Luke Kelly, this quietly sophisticated spot delivers big on charm with a hint of irreverence. Pints of Guinness meet seven-to-one Martinis, and cognac-laced Old Fashioneds are poured with precision.
The vibe? A little pubby, a little polished — perfect for date night or post-dinner hangs. Snack-wise, it’s all Samboy chips and Nobby’s nuts (iconic), keeping the focus firmly on the drinks and the effortlessly stylish crowd. A new chic, understated star of the Fitzroy bar scene.
334 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy
Commune Wine
Southbank might be divisive, but there’s no discrediting the wealth of fantastic new bars and eateries unfurling within. Enter Commune Wine — a refined riverside hangout bringing serious hospitality chops to the precinct. With its wine wall of boutique drops, three mood-laced spaces (including a leafy balcony), and a menu that champions flavour-forward fare like scallop ravioli and salmon gravlax, it’s the kind of place that turns even the most sceptical into Southbank devotees.
Upper Level, UR1 Southgate, 3 Southgate Avenue, Southbank
Miss Gunn’s Basement Bar
Buried beneath the clatter of Flinders Street Station, Miss Gunn’s is Melbourne’s sultriest new secret: a subterranean, velvet-draped haunt where moody lighting meets impeccable bites. Think baked brie oozing with fig jam, steak-frites that melt on the tongue, and cheeky buffalo-chicken popcorn, all washed down with chilli-smoked mezcal or a perfectly bitter gin-Campari twist. Inspired by a 1909 ladies’ club, it oozes vintage decadence and underground charm. Come for the cocktails, stay for the history-steeped swagger and after-hours allure.
Shop 17, The Concourse Flinders Street Station, Melbourne
Bears Wine Bar
Set within a glowing red-brick shopfront on Queensberry Street, Bear’s Wine Bar is North Melbourne’s cosiest new hug. From ex-Supernormal duo Austin Kangket and Nathan Schofield, it’s all hygge vibes, clever mini cocktails starting at just $12, and a wine list full of indie Aussie producers. But the true scene-stealer? A triple-cooked potato cake with caviar, chicken salt and the kind of crunch that could startle glassware. Throw in roo dimmies, deep-fried Tim Tams, and prawn toast on house focaccia, and you’ve got a nostalgic, genre-bending snack party — exactly what Melbourne craves right now. It’s safe to say you need this one of your must-try list.
Sitchu Tip: Just don’t expect to leave without plotting your next visit for another round of those unforgettable cakes.
502 Queensberry Street, North Melbourne
Bar Selecta
Tokyo by way of Hawthorn? Count us in. Bar Selecta is Melbourne’s newest listening bar — a moody, 10-seater sake, whisky and vinyl sanctuary hidden just off Glenferrie Road. With sound gear sourced from Japan, whisky from The Elysian’s finest, and a sake list signed off by Flower Drum’s drinks boss, this one’s for the audiophiles and cocktail lovers alike. A Midnight Cowboy, some jazz, and the DJ close enough to toast? Say less.
Rear entry, 717 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn
Ruzia’s Wine
In Caulfield North, Ruzia’s Wine is a heartfelt tribute wrapped in rye and warm memories. Helmed by Ravi Presser — former Trader House head chef — this charming wine bar honours his grandmother, a Polish Holocaust survivor who brought people together through food. Expect homestyle plates like chicken meatballs with kasha, housemade gravlax, charcuterie and cheese plates, fantastic bread, and Basque cheesecake by Ravi’s uncle, paired with pét-nats, Polish vodka and plenty of pickles. With vintage family portraits on the walls and a menu steeped in love, Ruzia’s is intimate, nostalgic and deliciously personal.
215 Balaclava Road, Caulfield North
Benchwarmer
Benchwarmer is West Melbourne’s charming beer hall now serving soulful Japanese street food with swagger. Trust us, it hits different. Wedged perfectly into the hum of West-North Melbourne’s ever-thumping food scene, this newcomer is the brainchild of Geoff Marett — a culinary nomad whose time at Yardbird, Hong Kong’s yakitori mecca, left him fluent in fire, flavour, and finesse.
The menu? East-meets-West comfort food that rips up the rulebook. XO lamb crumpets with yuzu labneh. Sake clams bathed in miso butter. Yakitori skewers that hum with charcoal and memory. A playful take on a filet of fish that’s equal parts succulent and crispy. And the rolled rice noodles? Game over. Silky, chewy, punchy — a dish so unforgettable our editor has it on her best dishes for 2025 list.
File this one under: instant cult classic.
345 Victoria Street, West Melbourne
Baby Driver
Melbourne’s newest laneway haunt, Baby Driver, spins 70s jazz, deep funk and rare groove vinyl late into the night. From the team behind Beneath Driver Lane and The Rum Diary Bar, it’s all low lights, retro cool and low-intervention cocktails. A rotating kitchen takeover adds flavour, kicking off with Lady T — Richmond’s Latin street-food queen — serving fiery eats to match the beats. With room for 100 and an ever-changing drinks list, Baby Driver is pure vinyl-soaked escapism.
2 Driver Lane, Melbourne
O’Connells Hotel
O’Connell’s isn’t just polishing the silver – it’s sharpening the knives. With Aaron Brodie now leading the charge, this South Melbourne institution trades nostalgia for fire, smoke, and a produce-first ethos that doesn’t mess around. Brodie, shaped by his time at Oakridge in the Yarra Valley and other top-flight kitchens, brings a raw, honest approach to the plate. The Josper grill is the beating heart, charring everything with intent – flesh, fish, veg, whatever’s best that day.
Signature dishes include wood-fired king prawns with nduja butter and capers, rainbow trout with Champagne sauce and caviar, and a 300g Galiciana MB3 scotch fillet served with butterleaf salad, pickled shallots, and hand-cut chips. It’s still a pub, sure, but one where the food punches well above its weight.
407 Coventry Street, South Melbourne
Raffy’s
Clifton Hill has a new heartbeat, and it’s thumping from Raffy’s — the cafe-by-day, bar-by-night brainchild of sibling duo Lachie and Izzy Summers. Housed in the old Quiet Time site, the space hums with playful charm: Brazilian cheese bread straight from the oven, crisp cocktails that slip down too easily, and weekend DJ sets that tip the mood from laid-back to lively. Monday to Thursday is all coffee and catch-ups; come Friday, it’s Frangelico-laced espresso martinis, a smart local wine list, and vibes dialled all the way up.
656 Smith Street, Clifton Hill
Peaches Wine Bar
From the Skinny’s Eatery crew comes Peaches, a sultry new wine bar trading sunshine for candlelight. A razor-sharp list of natural and skin-contact drops from indie producers matches its low-fi charm. The menu is short but stylish: pickled mussel crostini with briny swagger, silken vegan pasta that could rival Italy itself. With French and Italian influences, a sweeping Tasmanian oak bar and flickering low light, Peaches hums with understated elegance — effortlessly cool without trying.
901 High Street, Thornbury
Nobody’s Baby
South Yarra’s got a new heartthrob — Nobody’s Baby, a vinyl-spinning bar that feels equal parts old soul and fresh flirtation. Start with the Parmesan martini (it shouldn’t work, but it does), then lose yourself in a natural wine list that swings from Slurpy Boi chilled reds to Tamar Valley rosé. The food? A falafel-fuelled fever dream from cult darlings Very Good Falafel: whiting with latkes, tuna carpaccio with prickly pear, hibachi-charred chicken skewers. For dessert, choose Luther’s ice cream or the Baby Brûlée cocktail — torch-kissed and irresistible.
19-21 Toorak Road, South Yarra
West Side Wine
On Little Lonsdale Street, West Side Wine is Melbourne’s effortlessly cool new osteria pouring organic goodness by the glass. A collaboration with FAB, Australia’s organic booze pioneers, it champions biodynamic wines and spirits with rare global drops curated to sip and savour. Pair a glass with a charcuterie board layered with prosciutto, blue cheese, oat crackers and fruit bread, and you’ve got a midweek escape that feels indulgent yet good for the soul. Swing by, settle in, sip well.
645 Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne
Melbourne Winery
Winery and CBD may sound like strange bedfellows — until Melbourne Winery proves otherwise. Here, rolling hills and cellar doors give way to a wine lab, cheese room, oyster bar, colourful cocktails and rotating art exhibitions. Its Launch collection pours 32 varietals across Essentials, Elevated Classics and Indulgence, with food designed to follow the wine, not the other way around. Bold, sleek and unapologetically urban, Melbourne Winery reimagines tradition for a city that thrives on culture — every glass an invitation to explore.
247 Flinders Lane, Melbourne
Solace
Hidden down Croft Alley, in the space once home to the legendary Croft Institute, Solace is redefining the late-night playbook. Spread across three levels, it slides between moody bar, vibey lounge and full-throttle club — all with a minimalist Bauhaus aesthetic. Founded by four seasoned hospo minds, it’s fitted with Funktion-One speakers upstairs (the same ones shaking Berlin’s Berghain) and pours fun, unfussy drinks until 3am. Music sits at its core, energy never dips, and Solace already feels less like a newcomer, more like Melbourne’s next institution.
21-25 Croft Alley, Melbourne
Onlys
Fridays and Saturdays have a new address. Open late on Fridays and through Saturday afternoons, Onlys glows with fireplace warmth and the easy hum of conversation. From the creative minds behind Firecracker Events, it carries that same inventive touch in a menu that shifts with the seasons — figs and prosciutto with whipped ricotta, pickled melon with basil, a stracciatella sundae laced with anchovies and spicy honey. Add chicken schnitty crunch, steak tartare thrill, and crisp pours, and you’ve got unfussy elegance worth the detour.
58a Victoria Road, Northcote
Grana
Grana is Melbourne’s modern enoteca fantasy — equal parts wine bar, deli and neighbourhood hangout. From the Tipo 00 and Osteria Ilaria crew, it’s blossomed into a low-intervention playground where 300-plus sustainable drops rest in glowing fridges and Lucy Whitlow’s cult cheeses steal the show (the six-month Gippsland tomme is legend already). The menu riffs seasonally through Italy: polenta focaccia, saffron-slick croquettes, fried Goldstreet Jersey cheese drizzled with burnt honey, and a crème caramel worth saving room for. The vibe is effortlessly convivial, anchored by a long communal table made for bottles and stories.
Sitchu Tip: Don’t miss their kitchen takeover nights — things get lively.
331 LygonStreet, Brunswick East
Suze
On a quiet North Fitzroy corner, Suze glows softly — a room of low light, gentle clinks and easy rhythm. The debut of Giulia Giorgetti and Steve Harry (ex-Marion, Napier Quarter), it has the intimacy of a dinner party rather than a dining room. Aperitifs arrive with purpose, dishes unfold with quiet brilliance: raw snapper in Tasmanian wasabi oil, ricotta with persimmon and pepperberry, whole flounder with bone marrow, dry-aged pork with fermented plum. Seasonal, thoughtful, and distinctly Melbourne, Suze is built for long evenings, slow pours, and conversations that stretch past midnight.
6 Newry Street, Fitzroy North
LKF Bar
Fresh from a glamorous refurb, LKF Bar now hums above Yum Sing House with karaoke rooms named for Hong Kong neighbourhoods. Each suite comes with private dining — think fresh crab, caviar, lobster and Cantonese-leaning plates — or snack your way through crumbed pork baos and crispy chicken bites. Curated set menus, inventive cocktails and late-night sing-alongs make it a decadent playground. Bring your friends, lose your inhibitions, and prepare for a night worth retelling.
22 Sutherland Street, Melbourne
Nixie Nox
Richmond’s Nixie Nox might be Melbourne’s smallest pub, but it packs a mighty punch. Behind its slim Swan Street shopfront lies an intimate world of vintage charm — bar stools humming with locals, an atrium strung with greenery, and a snug upstairs dining room for twenty-five. The menu is succinct but stellar: lamb ragu pappardelle, miso mushroom daikon cakes, and the now-famed “Hard Nox Parm.” Add $15 margaritas, Wolf of the Willows on tap, and a considered wine list, and you’ve found your new regular.
141 Swan Street, Richmond
Sweet Nectar Inn
Sweet Nectar Inn feels like it’s always been here — a milk bar turned wine bar, where cold tins, natural wines, and good chat flow as easily as the locals strolling in. Owners Devon Hunter and Sam O’Farrell have stitched together nostalgia and community, right down to a bar top tiled with their own stories. It’s part bottleshop, part pub, all heart — perfect for a cheeky pint or a takeaway six-pack.
140 Nicholson Street, Coburg
Mr Mills
Mr Mills is Melbourne’s newest late-night supper club, a subterranean secret beneath Marmelo on Russell Street. Descend a chartreuse staircase and step into a cocoon of moody light, velvet-lined booths and a bar brimming with character. Cocktails are the calling card — start with the green apple clarified margarita, a razor-sharp, crystalline sip that’s dangerously easy to love. Pair it with late-night plates served in an art-strewn room laced with Portuguese charm, and let the hours slip elegantly away.
Basement/130 Russell Street, Melbourne
Le Splendide
Le Splendide is the sultry little sister to Melbourne institution France-Soir, a jewel box of burgundy drapes, red carpets and butter-soft light. Behind the slick zinc bar, sharp-suited staff pour icy Kronenbourg and mix cocktails with Parisian precision. The wine list is a dream in French — Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, Burgundian chardonnay, Châteauneuf-du-Pape — and the grignotages are as exacting as they are indulgent: foie gras, salmon gravlax, Marcel Petite comté. No kitchen, no compromises. And phones? Stickered shut. To enter is to surrender, wholly, to the moment.
9 Toorak Road, South Yarra
Brick Lane Brewing Co.
Brick Lane Brewing might not be the new kid, but its Queen Vic Market expansion has given it a fresh buzz. The two-storey Brick Lane Market is a beer-and-bites playground, while the Dandy Taphouse in Dandenong keeps things grounded at home base. Small-batch brews flow straight from the pilot system, paired with sashimi, pork belly glazed in chilli caramel, and plates made for lingering. From crisp pints to inventive pours, Brick Lane proves that Melbourne’s beer scene isn’t just thriving — it’s maturing beautifully, with flavour and flair to spare.
466 Queen Street, Melbourne
41 Imagine Way, Dandenong South
Gracie’s Wine Room
Gracie’s had a cult following before it even existed. Founder Kelsey Gaffey turned TikTok into a diary of her dream wine bar’s build, and by the time the doors finally opened, South Yarra was lining up to get in. Inside, it feels like stepping into the coolest inner-city share house — records stacked above a DJ booth, glasses clinking under soft light. Outside, a sun-dappled courtyard buzzes with spritzes, oysters and Australian drops.
Sitchu Tip: Don’t leave without the focaccia layered with salami, honey and stracciatella — it’s already legend status.
27 Toorak Road, South Yarra
Bar Nearby
A clever little win for locals, Bar Nearby flips the script on cocktail culture with its BYO food policy. Pack a pantry-raid platter, swing past your favourite takeaway, or have Uber Eats drop something at the door — then settle in with a cocktail or glass of wine perfectly matched by the team. While a few snacks are on hand, the spotlight is firmly on supporting the neighbourhood’s eateries. Casual, flexible, and quietly brilliant, it’s the ideal stop for a post-WFH wind-down or a low-key weekend tipple with friends.
1115 Whitehorse Road, Box Hill
Sistine on Chapel
Chapel Street has a new seduction: Sistine, the cocktail bar and speakeasy from VALARC Group (Tartine Bistro, Ines Wine Bar, Ned’s). Playful nods to the Renaissance run through its Vatican-inspired rooms and cheeky details — including The Immaculate Conception, a vending machine that dispenses caviar, salumi plates, even hangover kits. A rotating menu from the Ines kitchen adds refinement, while the cocktails bring the drama. Our tip? Order the spicy margarita laced with mint — a hot-cold thrill that might just convert even tequila sceptics.
150A Chapel Street, Windsor
Espy Sunroom
St Kilda’s grand dame has added yet another jewel to her crown: the Espy Sunroom, a bayside sanctuary made for summer. Bathed in light and framed by sweeping sea views, it’s a stage for indulgence — Guava Palomas and Japanese Slippers in hand, seafood platters and coal-grilled barramundi shared as the roof slides open to let the sun spill in. Come Saturday, live sax sets the mood; on Sunday, it’s the DJ’s turn. With hidden corners and a fizzing atmosphere, the Espy Sunroom feels like Melbourne’s summer bottled.
11 The Esplanade, St Kilda
Moon Dog Beach Club
Moon Dog Beach Club in Frankston brings a tropical beachside escape right to Port Phillip Bay. This sprawling 2,000m² venue is all about vacay vibes, with lush foliage, cabana huts, and a huge beer garden. Sip on Moon Dog beers, cocktails with tiny umbrellas, or boozy slushies as you lounge under palm trees or soak up the sun. Feast on gastro-pub classics, seafood towers, and delicious burgers.
When the sun sets, the festoon lights flicker, and the DJ hits the stage, making for a perfect night of dancing and fun with friends. A must-visit for summer vibes!
490 Nepean Highway, Frankston
Bar Conexão
Eltham’s leafy calm now has a sultry counterpoint in Bar Conexão — a moody, art-filled hideaway where boutique wines and classic cocktails meet snack plates with flair. From the team behind Little Drop of Poison, it doubles as a gallery and pours with personality: tiny, briny martinis, prawn cocktails dressed in mama salsa, kimchi tuna tartare that feels downright decadent. The drinks list runs clever — Green Apple Sour, Spiced Negroni, a sommelier’s roll call of small-scale producers — making this suburban newcomer as polished as anything across the river, and twice as alluring for a date night close to home.
4/10-18 Arthur Street, Eltham
