Bowls with Mates in Fitzroy

Take advantage of the Sunday sunshine and gather your mates for an afternoon of bowls at the Fitzroy Victoria Bowls Club. Whether you're an aficionado or barely understand the rules of the game, you'll love this iconic spot that's the self-proclaimed unofficial home of barefoot bowls. This Melbourne institution offers lawn and ball hire in two-hour blocks for $20 per person, and has space aplenty for between-game picnicking and relaxation. If this century-old sport isn't really your thing, though, no worries. Just grab a bevy and some classic pub fare from the bar and watch your mates battle it out.
