illed with a classic Victorian era charm, South Melbourne is one of the city’s oldest suburbs and possesses a rich and proud history. The area has aged gracefully. From the vibrant, multicultural South Melbourne Market to the chic cafes responsible for reviving our city’s coffee culture, this is a suburb that offers the best of old and new.

Here, nightlife is a quintessentially Aussie affair that draws on the best of Melbourne’s pub culture. You’ll find countless watering holes, all perfect for a cheeky pot or hearty counter meal.

Or for something a little more refined, why not make a visit to one of South Melbourne’s newer offerings. For a fun and modern interpretation on some classic cocktails, Hercules Morse will have you covered. And for a quality dining experience, don’t go past the lively Wayside Inn.

There’s a lot happening in this quarter, and whether for food or drink, or arts and culture, South Melbourne has you covered.
