a day of bar hopping in melbourne | hidden bars, breweries and rooftop bars

Back before COVID hit, we spent a day bar hopping around some of the best bars in Melbourne.

The first bar we went to was Peaches. It is located in the city centre, and has a rooftop overlooking Swanston Street and a lounge area, with beautiful and quirky furniture.

The second bar we went to was Naked for Satan, a Fitzroy classic rooftop bar. It over looks Fitzroy and Collingwood, and is a favourite for all North Melbourne-siders.

The third bar we went to was Beer Mash. In the hipster capital of Collingwood, it has all the trendy beers you could want.

The fourth bar was a secret bar called Above Board. It is at the back of Beer Mash by the bathrooms, and you take the stairs to the first floor. It is an intimate bar, with only a few bar stools available. The cocktails are excellent and unique. This bar is not to be missed.

The fifth and final bar was Stomping Ground. A Collingwood classic, this brewery is vibrant and full of some of the best beers Australia has to offer.

We ended the night at Goon, a Korean restaurant in Collingwood, eating bulgogi, spicy pork and korean seafood pancake.
