Named after a Tom Petty album – and rocking an appropriate soundtrack – Lulie’s Cali-inspired rooftop bar is all sun, stone and succulents. Head upstairs for zesty cocktails from a cactus-shaped dispenser and a riff on the Hungry Jack’s Whopper.

A South and Central American menu worth travelling for, natural wines on tap and room for 400 punters.

This neighbourhood spot has an all-day cafe, diner, gallery space and courtyard with views of the Abbotsford Convent. It’ll take you right through your day, from your morning coffee to your late-night share plates and local lo-fi wines. As for food? Expect hearty veggie soups, charcuterie plates, mussels steeped in chilli and tomato sauce, and more.

Boogie beneath the disco ball at this snug, ’70s-style den upstairs at Bodriggy Brewing Co. It’s a trifecta of fluorescent cocktails, lively South American snacks and “high-end Australiana” vibes.

This Abbotsford bar, eatery and coffee takeaway window is a Johnston Street cure-all.

A quirky brewery bar with pizzas, free popcorn and an anything-goes spirit.

The vibe is laid-back at this 160-year-old pub by the team behind The Royston. Bring your dog to the courtyard for cheeseburger spring rolls and the crowd-favourite kangaroo fillet with crisp potatoes.

This cosy bar and eating house features stained-glass windows and archways, much like a cathedral. Its objects of worship? Elevated pub classics and steaks dressed with chimichurri.

At this "mapped" bottle shop, a cartographer and a sommelier are cracking open wines you’ve never tried from under-represented regions around the world. Grab a bottle to go, or settle in with a glass and some charcuterie (or order in from a nearby restaurant).

Community comes first at this homely wine bar, which celebrates the tight-knit scene around it. Come for share-friendly seafood dishes, local wines, or a browse of the local art for sale on the walls.

A slick bistro and bar by hospo heavyweight Nathan Toleman. The pastas are made in-house and the cocktails come fermented and served in punchbowls. And there’s a rooftop function space with raised beds, chickens and city views.
