Town Hall Hotel

North Melbourne's Town Hall Pub is a charming old joint – a classic neighbourhood pub decked out with rock 'n' roll memorabilia, famous for its friendly staff and laid-back vibe. The menu isn't particularly adventurous, but the food itself is solid and the portions generous – plus they do a mean eggplant parma, if that's your jam. Their much-loved beer garden is spacious, offers plenty of shade in the daytime, and is lit up with fairy lights (and is well-heated) at night.
