Many hard-working employees (or workaholics) would argue that the EOFY is better than Christmas. With the amount of hours put in over the financial year, the celebrations may even trump the events of the previous work Christmas party. So, if you want to make it a night to remember, but you can't decide where to take your team for EOFY drinks, we've found the top places to enjoy yourself this EOFY, with no minimum spend. Yes, you read that correctly, no minimum spend, just endless fun. 

With a little help from The Pass, an app that allows you to order food and drinks, earn points and redeem rewards at over 190 pubs, bars and restaurants, we've narrowed down some of the best venues in Melbourne for a well-deserved afternoon pint. Each venue we've chosen has no minimum spend for EOFY functions, so you can celebrate your way.

West Beach Pavilion, St Kilda

We can't think of a much better way to celebrate EOFY than a beer and views of the sunset over the ocean. You'll enjoy just that at West Beach Pavilion, St Kilda's airy beachfront venue. With sweeping panoramic views, there's plenty of space for every kind of function. The Grand Beach Hall combines modern style with ocean vistas, while The Gallery offers a more intimate setting. Or for a relaxed outdoor vibe, head to The Pier Green or enjoy a laidback atmosphere at The Beach Club.
