Clyde Hotel | 385 Cardigan St | Carlton

“The Clyde Hotel is predominately a student pub due to its proximity to Melbourne University (1 min walk). It's common to see young minds cramming in beers and parmas in between classes and the pub is the clubhouse for a few of its sports teams. That means on Thursday and Friday nights it can get pretty lively. The front bar was totally revamped a few years ago, going for the rich wooden tones that many others employ. Their specials usually impress.”
