This country spot is the ‘pub’ every town wishes it had on the corner
If you can’t find an old pub, make one. That’s the approach the You Beauty team has taken to create this award-winning community-led venue.

- Enmore
The family-run bar our critic would be stoked to have on his own street
From the fried chicken sandwich on good-on-ya-mum white bread to the puffy salt-and-vinegar potato scallops, Mixed Business Enmore is nostalgia made manifest.

- Haymarket
Haymarket’s revamped Paddy’s Markets vowed to be a first-rate food hub. It didn’t deliver
It might serve a very good martini and excellent chips, but Callan Boys chalks it up as another entry on Sydney’s board of missed opportunities.

Herbs Taverne
Like its sibling venues Bar Planet and Cantina OK, this new Campari-hued cocktail bar does one thing exceptionally well.

- South Yarra
One of Melbourne’s favourite falafel crosses the river to get to this southside bar
It’s worth coming to cocktail bar Nobody’s Baby for the crunchy-fluffy falafel alone.

- West Melbourne
This inner-city terrace serves outrageously juicy katsu and boss-level drinking food
Craft beer hangout Benchwarmer breaks the mould with its brash and bold Japanese snacks.
