What's Open in Melbourne This Labour Day Public Holiday
Your favourite spot may be closed this Monday, but these cafes, restaurants and bars will more than tide you over.
The long weekend is here. And, as Monday is a public holiday, some of your regular spots will be shut. So, if you're on the hunt for a caffeine hit, long lunch or a few more beers, we've put together a list of all the bars, cafes and restaurants that'll be open on Monday, March 8. There is something for everybody on this list, too — from Gradi's award-winning pizza to Bentwood's delectable brunch plates and Embla Rooftop's sky-high sips.
