I'm unbiased! However, a few friends of ours run Golden Monkey, who were not only one of the first advocates for VenueNow but also serve up insanely creative cocktails. Other faves? Little Flinders, Le Bon Ton, Kodiak Club.

Boilermaker House. If you love good whisky, craft beer and a warm atmosphere, this is the place to be. Great venue for an intimate small gathering if you can grab one of their booth tables. Try one of their boilermakers (Devil’s Smokehouse is my favourite) and grab a ploughman’s platter to share – a surefire way to start the night!

Tippler & Co, located in East Melbourne, has an extensive wine list and is close to the MCG for Friday night footy. The Bottom End has good food options at a reasonable price and a cool mix between a dark club / US diner and a traditional pub. Plus, the Richmond Club Hotel is great to kick on if you have a few too many drinks after work!
Grace Collins (Marketplace Growth Manager)
Bad Frankie in Collingwood! Aside from the endless varieties of gin (hello, navy strength!), aesthetically pleasing bartenders and extra cheesy jaffles, it's across the road from my house – so just a short stumble home.

My after-work drinks fave is Richmond Club Hotel. I love chilling on their rooftop, their staff are super friendly and their burgers are delicious!
Lauren Carlyle (Corporate Business Development Manager)
RICHMOND CLUB HOTEL. I should own a brick here! I love this venue, as the tunes are always rockin' and the espresso martinis are the BOMB. I've never had a bad night there.
Rebecca Mery (Content Manager)
Well, we work across the road from Le Bon Ton so it's hard to go past their flipping rad beers and fried chicken. That said, I love Dr Morse in Abbotsford for sunshine disco courtyard vibes, and Underwood Wine Bar for cosy romantic (delicious) wine vibes.
Hayley Tantau (Content Producer)
I love hitting up Bad Frankie after work. It's relaxed, you can always get a seat, and the staff are super friendly (not in the social-anxiety-inducing sort of way). Plus, they specialise in JAFFLES. Hot tip: their Anzac Old Fashioned is a delicious alcoholic dream potion.
Pippa Skillington (Content Producer)
My favourite place for a drink after work would have to be Welcome to Thornbury in my 'hood. It has a chill vibe, heaps of beers on tap and a rotating roster of food trucks, churning out decent feeds.
Leah Doan (Venue Booking Manager)
Asian Beer Cafe. Happy Hour from 4 pm until 8 pm EVERY DAY! Need I say more? Cheap tapas and five-buck pizzas!
Michael McKenna (Venue Booking Manager)
The Milton in Elwood. Relaxed local vibe in a stylish and cool surrounding - including a garden out the back. I can highly recommend trying the oysters with a glass of champagne to cap off your working day!
Ellie Reid (Venue Booking Manager)
Maya Tequila Bar in South Yarra, because of the outrageously delicious choice of differently flavoured margaritas! And it's cheap cheap.
Kayetlyn Lee (Accounts Assistant)
Le Bon Ton, because good food and drinks, plus it's close to both work AND public transport.
Jude Hordern (Analytics Intern)
Murmur in the CBD, backwards it reads rumrum! One of the many gems to be found hidden in the laneways of Melbourne, it has a warm cozy atmosphere with a great cocktail list including ever-changing specials and the (very!) potent Zombie.
