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.

Launch weekend (Saturday 26th July) kicks off with the Wallabies v Lions live and loud — brekky beers, bacon & egg rolls, and all. Hickens Hotel? More like the city’s new out-of-work hours pulse.

127 Russell Street, Melbourne

Crown Croissanteria By Night

This flaky pastry haven has just upped the ante, extending the good times into the evening with the launch of Croissanteria By Night. Once the coffee rush is over and the city descends into dusk, expect a change of pace with mood lighting, European small plates, and delicious cocktails. There’s even a decadent lobster roll croissant on the menu. Wash it down with a rhubarb fizz, peach and tea Bellini, or Grey Goose elderflower mist. Sounds like there’s nowhere we’d rather be!

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 is already planning her return.

File this one under: instant cult classic.

345 Victoria Street, West Melbourne

Baby Driver

Baby Driver is Melbourne’s moody new laneway bar spinning 70s jazz, deep funk, and rare groove vinyl deep into the night. Brought to you by the crew behind Beneath Driver Lane and The Rum Diary Bar, it’s all low lights, soulful sounds, and low-intervention cocktails. The fit-out channels retro cool, and the energy hits somewhere between house party and underground hideaway.

The bar also features a rotating kitchen takeover series, inviting some of Melbourne’s most exciting chefs to serve dishes that groove with the music. Leading the charge is Lady T — Richmond’s Latin street food queen — bringing her signature fiery flavours, bold personality, and devoted following to the Baby Driver kitchen.

With a 100-person capacity and an ever-evolving drinks list, Baby Driver is the vinyl-soaked sanctuary the city didn’t know it needed—until now.

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 fresh new pulse, and it’s coming from Raffy’s — a spirited cafe-by-day, bar-by-night from sibling duo Lachie and Izzy Summers. Taking over the former Quiet Time site, they’ve reimagined the space with playful charm: crisp cocktails, Brazilian cheese bread hot from the oven, and DJ sets that kick off on weekends. It’s relaxed, a little rowdy, and made for settling in.

From Monday to Thursday, it’s all about daytime hangs. But come Friday to Sunday, stay late for a Frangelico-spiked espresso martini, a tight local wine list, and excellent vibes.

656 Smith Street, Clifton Hill

Peaches Wine Bar

Peaches Wine Bar is the moody, effortlessly cool new addition to Melbourne’s north, brought to life by the team behind Preston favourite Skinny’s Eatery. Swapping sunshine for candlelight, this sultry neighbourhood spot leans into low-fi charm with a finely curated list of skin-contact and natural wines from independent local producers.

The menu is tight, confident, and quietly luxe – think pickled mussel crostini with a briny punch, or silken house-made vegan pasta that rivals the best trattorias. French and Italian influences weave through the dishes, but it’s less textbook and more instinctive. Anchored by a sweeping Tasmanian oak bar and warmed by flickering low light, Peaches hums with understated elegance. It’s not trying to be a scene, but it might just become one.

901 High Street, Thornbury 

Nobody’s Baby

Nobody’s Baby is South Yarra’s effortlessly cool new kid—equal parts old soul and fresh energy. Tucked along Toorak Road, this moody, vinyl-spinning bar is where you kick things off with a Parmesan martini that somehow just works, then dive into a cracking natural wine list featuring a Slurpy Boi chilled red and a crisp Tamar Valley rosé. The menu—by cult legends Very Good Falafel—is pure snacking joy: whiting with latkes, falafel with zhough, tuna carpaccio with prickly pear, and hawiej-spiced chicken and olive skewers fresh off the hibachi. End on a sweet note with Luthers ice cream—or the Baby Brûlée cocktail, served with a caramelised top. Call it love at first sip.

19-21 Toorak Road, South Yarra

West Side Wine

You’ll find West Side Wine on Little Lonsdale Street—Melbourne CBD’s effortlessly cool new osteria, pouring organic goodness by the glass. This laid-back but stylish bar is all about sustainably made, biodynamic wines and spirits—thanks to their collab with FAB, Australia’s organic booze heroes. Expect rare drops from around the globe, curated to sip, savour, and maybe even obsess over. Pair it with a luxe charcuterie board stacked with prosciutto, blue cheese, oat crackers and fruit bread, and you’ve got yourself a midweek ritual worth repeating. Swing by, settle in, and sip something that actually feels good.

645 Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne

Melbourne Winery

Winery and the Melbourne CBD are two locations we’d never imagine in the same sentence…until now. Melbourne Winery is the CBD’s newest destination to explore wine in a location where wineries and city culture collide. This is no ordinary winery experience. The cellar door, rolling vineyards and charming farmhouse is replaced with a wine lab, a cheese room, an oyster bar, and rotating art exhibitions that spark curiosity and keep you on your toes.

This isn’t a tasting room. Nor is it simply an urban cellar door. This is a bold, innovative reinvention of the classic winery experience that’s been imagined for the city it lives in. Let your wine choices take the lead and watch food pairings follow suit—not the other way around. Melbourne Winery’s Launch collection features 32 varietals spanning three categories: the Essentials, Elevated Classics and Indulgence, a range with a bottle to mark every occasion.

Step inside to discover what makes Melbourne Winery so uniquely Melbourne.

247 Flinders Lane, Melbourne

Solace

Late nights and great nights head. Down the end of Croft Alley, in the spot that was once the legendary Croft Institute, Solace is quietly redefining cool. Split across three levels, it’s part moody bar, part vibey lounge, and part full-throttle club – all designed with a minimalist Bauhaus edge. Founded by four industry-savvy mates, it’s got serious credentials – not least the Funktion-One speakers upstairs (yep, the same ones used at Berlin’s iconic Berghain nightclub). With fun drinks, a 3am licence, and an always-on music focus, Solace isn’t just another late-night spot – it’s a future institution.

21-25 Croft Alley, Melbourne

Onlys

Open Fridays till late and Saturdays until mid-afternoon, Onlys is the spot you need to make a beeline for as the weather cools, with its warm fireplace flicker and easy chatter. Born from the creative minds behind Firecracker Events, a boutique agency renowned for crafting unforgettable experiences, Onlys channels that same inventive energy into its relaxed, intimate setting, where each glass and bite feels just as thoughtfully curated.

The menu is simple and changes with the seasons—figs and prosciutto with whipped ricotta, pickled melon with basil, Sicilian green olives, and a glorious stracciatella sundae with anchovies, spicy honey, and housemade focaccia. There’s a chicken schnitty for that perfect crunch, steak tartare if you’re feeling adventurous, and always something crisp in your glass.

It’s unfussy yet thoughtful, familiar yet fresh. Worth every bit of the detour from your usual Friday and Saturday go-tos.

58a Victoria Road, Northcote 

Grana

Grana in Brunswick East is Melbourne’s modern enoteca dream — part wine bar, part deli, and all kinds of cool. Born in 2022 from the team behind Tipo 00 and Osteria Ilaria, it’s since evolved into a low-intervention wonderland of good times and great snacks. Think over 300 sustainable drops chilling in custom fridges, Lucy Whitlow’s culty house-made cheeses (hello, six-month Gippsland tomme), and a menu that dances through seasonal Italian — polenta focaccia, saffron-slick croquettes, and fried Goldstreet Jersey cheese with burnt honey. They also make a mean pizza, and the crème caramel for dessert is a must. The vibe? Effortlessly warm, with a long communal table made for sharing bottles and stories.

Sitchu Tip: Keep an eye out for their kitchen takeover nights — things get fun.

331 LygonStreet, Brunswick East

Suze

Settled on a sleepy North Fitzroy corner, Suze hums with gentle energy — low-lit, quietly clinking, and full of intent. It’s the first solo venture from Giulia Giorgetti and Steve Harry, whose time at spots like Marion and Napier Quarter shows in the details: a menu of unfussy brilliance, aperitifs poured with purpose, and a rhythm that feels more dinner party than dining room.

Dishes like raw snapper with Tasmanian wasabi oil, ricotta with persimmon and pepperberry, whole flounder with bone marrow and capers, and dry-aged pork cutlet with fermented plum only deepen the charm. It’s distinctly Melbourne — thoughtful, seasonal, and quietly bold. This is a place made for long evenings, low voices, and the slow, certain pleasure of pouring a second glass.

6 Newry Street, Fitzroy North

LKF Bar

Newly refurbished, LKF Bar is an enticing spot sitting pretty above Yum Sing House. Let your hair down and get ready to sing your heart out in style as you ascend the stairs to the bar and enter the private karaoke rooms, each named after a neighbourhood in Hong Kong. Plus, with private dining in each room available, you can indulge in delicious bites as you sing your heart out. Opt for the curated set menu or go a la carte with fresh crab, caviar and lobster and Cantonese-inspired dishes. Our personal favourite has to be the crumbed pork bao or crispy chicken bites. Paired with impressive cocktails and (hopefully) great singing, LKF Bar is set to host a night you’ll love sharing with your friends.

22 Sutherland Street, Melbourne

Nixie Nox

Richmond’s Nixie Nox may be tiny, but it’s got the swagger of a seasoned local. Tucked into a skinny Swan Street shopfront, this 80-seater delivers warm, unpretentious vibes with mood lighting, brick walls, and a killer atrium out back. The menu’s tight but punches hard: market sausages with creamy mash and deep-fried (AKA comfort food 101), daikon cakes with miso mushroom magic, and sous-vide chicken parmas done right. Add spicy margaritas and blackcurrant gin sours alongside a solid wine list, and you’ve found your new favourite haunt.

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 new late-night supper club you need to visit. Hidden beneath Marmelo on Russell Street, it’s all moody lighting, plush booths, and a bar stacked with character. The drinks? Impeccable. Their green apple clarified margarita is an essential Melbourne sip—sharp, clean, and dangerously drinkable. Pair it with late-night bites in an intimate, art-filled space that nods to Portuguese charm. Enter through the laneway, descend the chartreuse staircase, and let the night unfold.

Basement/130 Russell Street, Melbourne

Le Splendide

Le Splendide is the moody, impossibly chic little sister to Melbourne institution France-Soir. Hidden behind burgundy drapes, it’s all red carpets, buttery lighting, and a slick zinc bar where sharp-dressed staff pour Kronenbourg and mix faultless cocktails. The wine list leans French and fabulous—Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, Burgundian chardonnay, Châteauneuf-du-Pape. There’s no kitchen, just impeccably curated grignotages: foie gras, salmon gravlax, Marcel Petite comté. Phones? Stickered shut. Here, presence is the price of entry.

9 Toorak Road, South Yarra

Slowpoke

Slowpoke Lounge & Lookout in Collingwood is the rooftop bar you didn’t know you needed. With panoramic views, a nostalgic yet modern vibe, and a menu full of playful, elevated cocktails, it’s where childhood whimsy meets grown-up sophistication. Open since March 1st, Slowpoke is all about freedom—whether you’re unwinding after work or partying till late. Behind the bar, Harry Costello stirs up quirky concoctions like the Hazelnut Espresso Martini and the signature Picante. It’s a playground for the senses, a place to be yourself, drink a little differently, and enjoy the city from a whole new angle. Cool, creative, and unapologetically fun.

Open Thursdays through Sundays

Level 4/50 Gipps Street, Collingwood

Brick Lane Brewing Co.

Brick Lane Brewing might not be the new kid on the block, but with its Queen Vic Market expansion, it’s pouring itself a fresh moment in the sun. Between the lively Brick Lane Market—a two-storey beer-and-bites haven—and the Dandy Taphouse, out in Dandenong, this brewery proves it’s got more hops than the rest. Think small-batch brews straight from their pilot system, sashimi with your lager, and pork belly bathed in chilli caramel. Whether you’re chasing a crisp pint or just a damn good feed, Brick Lane is proof that great beer only gets better with time.

466 Queen Street, Melbourne

41 Imagine Way, Dandenong South

Gracie’s Wine Room

Gracie’s Wine Room went viral on social media before the South Yarra wine bar had even opened…or been built. Founder Kelsey Gaffey documented the journey of building her dream wine bar on her TikTok, which gained traction as the building and renovations took place It’s certainly opened with aplomb, with lines out the door full of eager supporters wanting to experience the new stylish hotspot.

The interior is cosy, cute, and feels like a slice out of a trendy inner-suburban home. Shelves containing records line one wall, sitting neatly above a DJ booth. Step outside and you’ll find a sun-dappled courtyard lined with tables and full of chatter as people sip on Australian varieties of wine, indulge in spritzes and slurp fresh oysters. There’s a small selection of nibbles on the menu, one of them being focaccia with salami, honey and stracciatella—a must!

27 Toorak Road, South Yarra
