Craft breweries abound in Melbourne, giving locals endless opportunities to sample straight from the source. But it doesn't get much fresher than Burnley Brewing where the brews flow directly from the onsite Brite tanks within days of when it's crafted. There are ten taps pouring a range of seasonal house beers, running from fruit driven sours, to hoppy US-style ales, to gutsy barrel-aged Russian imperial stouts.

If beer isn't your thing, there's also a curated wine list, designed by the minds behind Toorak Cellars and Milton Wine Bar, offering a selection of local wines. The food menu is inspired by former resident Romulus and Remus: think pulled pork and beef lasagne and pasta dishes. American-inspired drinking snacks and late-night, vegan-friendly fare rounds out the food selection.
