Modeled after the infamous Harry´s Bar in Venice, the Little Odessa in Fitzroy sports an impressive American -oak bar set up by the Soltys siblings – Sofia and Stefan. However, when you actually take a look around you will realize that Little Odessa, is filled with influencers further North of Europe. From in-house pickled veggies to a painting on the canvas of a World War II Army tent, the place is brimming with intriguing bits of history.  Once you have settled down make sure to start with a Czech Budvar Pilsner also known by locals as the original Budweiser. The wines served at the Little Odessa are primarily Australian, however, you will find a pinot noir hailing from Romania to keep to its European flair.

Located down the back roads of Windsor,  Galah pub is named after a unique species of bird that is known to lead lost bushwalkers to the nearest water hole. These days in Windsor, the Galah also leads locals to sample some Australian spirits. Its rustic interior was once the home of a storage facility of a panel beater. Its industrial touches have created a space that is warm and cozy with high ceilings and upholstered booths and a running fireplace. Cocktails range from local classics to those with a twist including the Eucalyptus Oil Highball and the Bloody Galah.

Address: 17 Warburton Ln, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

Having evolved from being Melbourne´s foremost laneway bar, the Murmur has undergone a facelift and is now a unique proposition – a piano bar. Think Billy Joel and his hit song – piano man, with crowds around the piano,  drinks in hand and singing their cares away. At Murmur´s the piano is a baby grand, with veteran Matt Ganim coming in as the veteran piano man to tinkle the ivories. So if you’re up to showcase your pipes, the bar has enough liquid fortitude in the form of wine, beer and cocktails. Food at Murmur is courtesy its neighbour below – Portello Rosso, serving up a delectable array of tapas.
