“Rockpool (at Crown), that is one of my favourites. We went there the Monday after the Grand Final. That was pretty awesome, (we) went through a few bottles of Grange.”

He added: “For an experience not too long ago, a group of us who are in a horse together, we went to Vue De Monde. That was a pretty cool experience.”

France Soir, South Yarra

“I go there quite a bit. They have really nice beers there as well.”
