Where is nice bar or place to have casual drinks (on a Thursday night) in Melbourne?

Answer 1

Gist from http://www.miettas.com/restaurants/bars/bars_96-00/bar_crawl.html

This taste of some Melbourne’s best bars starts at Larry Latrobe – a life-size, dingo-like dog who stands sentry at City Square, on the corner of Collins and Swanston Streets.

Walk north west along Swanston Street, past the Melbourne Town Hall and turn right into Little Collins Street.

Martinis at the Gin Palace. Owner, Vernon Chalker.

This intimate bar was once a lightbulb factory. It now oozes class from the Manhattan décor and deep purples to the long drapes and comfy couches. Definitely urban, the Gin Palace attracts all ages.

Address: 190 Little Collins Street. (Between Russell and Swanston Streets)

Wine and snacks at the Hairy Canary. Co-owners – Christine Becker and Francisco Valles.

Hairy Canary has a small bench-bar which faces onto Little Collins Street, couches and tables and chairs. It is popular at lunchtime with city-folk, during the afternoon for coffee, at dinner for food and (very) late into the night for drinks for the black-clad generation.

Address: 212 Little Collins Street. (Between Russell and Swanston Streets)

Music and Cocktails at the Tony Star's Kitten Club. Owner s– Peter Labourne and Mark Knoop.

Tony Starr is a Frank Sinatra impersonator. With a jazzy ‘60s style layout, including a powder room, you could imagine James Dean or Marilyn Monroe having one of the Kitten Club’s 100 cocktails while sitting on one of the bar’s lime green sofas.

Address: 267 Little Collins Street. (Between Swanston and Elizabeth Streets)

From Little Collins Street, walk through Block Place, cross over Collins Street and enter into Centre Way. Note Fat Ben's and Yen, two little hole in the wall snack places. Look at side and facade of Majorca House

Hell's Kitchen and Bar. Co-owners – Linda Bradac and Peter Roissetter.

Hell’s Kitchen used to be an innocuous inner-city espresso bar, but an upstairs bar has opened, complementing the day time coffee houses. This shoe-box kitchen has for years attracted a loyal mix of architects and designers during the day. Now the night offers a bar in which to unwind.

Address: 20 Centre Place. (Between Elizabeth and Swanston Streets)

From Centre Place turn into Flinders Lane. Walk along Flinders Lane and check out Manchester Lane, which often has live music in the bar area at the back. Meals at the front on Flinders Lane

Cross over Swanston Street. Continue up Flinders Lane.


The Purple Emerald Bar. Owner – Phil Anderson.

There is very much a smooth lounge feel to this place – half way between a hotel lobby and a cocktail lounge. While the core crowd are artsy jazz lovers, it can be quite diverse.

Address: 191 Flinders Lane. (Between Swanston and Russell Streets).

Ezard at Adelphi Owner chef, Teage Ezard

Highly innovative menu with pleasant, informed service in the smart basement of the Adelphi Hotel. Unusual and tricky combinations are surprisingly successful. Attention to detail is impressive in all dishes.

Address: 187 Flinders Lane. (Between Swanston and Russell Streets).

Misty

Comfortable couches, low coffee tables and modern stylish décor greet you as you enter Misty. A mix of locals, artists and business people fill this popular bar. The back wall has coloured bubbles floating around it mirroring the ‘City Lights’ light boxes which float around the outside wall of the Fourm Theatre across the lane. These boxes are part of the City Council Art installation scheme.

Address: 3-5 Hosier Lane. (Runs between Flinders Street and Flinders Lane; parallel to Swanston and Russell Streets)

Honkytonks

Plush interior sections, a long bar with bottles arranged in a glittering centrepiece, a DJ set up in a grand piano shell and a great view over Flinders Street makes Honky Tonks a unique all night space.

Address: Duckboard Place. (Runs off Flinders Street; parallel to Russell and Exhibition Streets).

Supper Club. Part Owner – Con Christopolous.

A major restaurant industry hangout which is open very late and has an excellent wine list and a limited menu. After a long day in the restaurant restaurant staff prefer drinks to food!

Address: Upstairs, 161 Spring Street. (Between Bourke and Little Bourke Streets).
