Melbourne

Extensively renovated a few years ago, the Clifton Brew Pub has transformed a tired old boozer (not without its charm mind you) into a real craft beer destination, where their own brews are made on the premises. Add quality grub and friendly mixed demographic we can see this rising even higher in our Top 50 list next year.

Often goes under the radar but is a very nice watering hole. Great band space upstairs as well.

Certainly one of the most oddly shaped pubs in Melbourne (a former post office that became a pub in the late 90s), over the past few years this local watering hole seems to be doing everything right. With an impressive selection of one-off guest beers and a kitchen that provides much better than the average pub fare (go the specials), simply sitting at the pointy end on grandma chairs as the suns seeps in is one of the city's great pleasures. The tiny bar is made for "stooling up" and the beer garden resembles a university student's backyard with an assortment of beards and babies listening to some mellowed tunes. Excellent choice.

Just a few weeks ago I came here on a Sunday arvo and saw a dozen bands play in the front bar, the cobra lounge upstairs and the main band room. Myriad of styles with differing audiences all getting along in harmony. The beergarden hosted the customary free bbq which explained the mustard all over my shirt the following morning. We also come here afterwork a few times a month, because the jukebox is awesome and the front bar is old school. Everyone is crap at pool.
