Melbourne

It was commonly known as the "park-spew", but with recent changes and good specials, it's firmly on our hit list. Good place to watch AFL

Parkview Hotel

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.

Is the Great Northern the quintessential local? Picture it; a beer list that rivals the best in the state, a front bar ideal for footy and jargon, a large bistro area where quality pub grub (it won a nationwide search for the best steak a few years back) can be woofed down, and a beergarden that ranks in the top 5 in Melbourne.
