Based on Russell St? You staying in Space Hotel?
Anyways the city has some great places nearby.
If you wanna keep it Irish go to PJ O'briens in Southbank for a big copperslike place full of ugly irish ppl.
For a quiet drink with an irish ambiance go to "The Irish Times"
However since you said out on the lash I reckon you wanna hit it hard. Try any club on Lonsdale / Queen or King Street. Then when you think your night is over get a taxi to Chapel St to REVOLVER where drugs are plentiful, drop a tablet and go on til the next day……
I am staying in with the missus tonight

quality spot called RETRO.
Full of women. Plays 70s/80s/90s dance music.
Im good friends with Sarah who works the desk there in Space. Tell her her mate Dave said hi and if you are outgoing tell her....."It looks like you have Dave fever"......

Zweton, theres a high class place on Russell St called Spice Market or Spice Temple of something. I aint been but by all accounts is full of posh tottie and is a class spot. Not easy to get in though. No runners or tee shirts. Gotta be dolled up. Right enjoy your weekend and let me know how your weekend goes :P Betcha end up in the blue cafe !

Riteo if you want a really good selection of beers, good crowd and good live music check out the Local Tap House in Balaclava. Its just at the end of Chapel street (Tram 78 or 79). Its a super little bar. Its where people go to escape the knob heads that populate South Yarra/Chapel Street
If your in the city I recommend Murmur. Its one of Melbourne s 'hidden' bars. Its down Walburton Lane just of Little Burke. Really good cocktail bar that also does quality Tapa's. (There is a full tapa's restaurant downstairs) This would be my favourite bar in the city. The guys who run it are sound and if you work in the industry (like we do) you get 20% off on Sundays/Mondays and they'll look after you. Last time I was there they were the guy gave me two bottles of cider, a dark ale (which he insisted I try) and a shot of Tequila for nothing
....And finally check out 'Spoonbill' bar and restaurant (in the Olsen hotel) at the end of Chapel Street. Cocktails are only $15 and the food is good. That's where me and the missus work. If you pop in we'll look after you 0 -

On a day like today hit Section 8 which is VERY near where you are staying. Its a class place. Oozing individualism and style.
Or go to Transport Bar in Fed Square and sit in one of their 16 beer gardens.
Or go to Martyn House (Cookie) on Swanston St for the Rooftop bar which would be sweet today given the weather and that everyone is in work.
Regarding the cocktails, since hes staying in Space Hotel I was assuming he ain't exactly hitting 5 star hotels up when wanting to "go out on the lash".
Do you work for Lonely Planet Dave? 0 -

Anyway you go to a bar, a vodka and coke is $8 right? A double is $16 right? So if a cocktail is made with two shots (sometimes premium liquors) fresh juices (limes are sometimes very expensive), home-made syrups (we make an awesome ginger and lemongrass syrup), complicated garnishes, expensive glassware and finally put together - all of which can take a few minutes.. I reckon $15 - $16 isn't a bad price for a drink
Certainly seems reasonable if a bottle of beer usually costs $9-$10 I reckon!
Oh and if a bartender can't lash together Cachaça, lime and sugar together to make a Caipirinhia then they ain't a bartender!
I thought Boards.ie had rules against advertising
Jaysus, I don't know where you drink but I certainly would never pay 9-10 for a bottle of beer. I wont pay more than 9 for a pint when I am out.0 -
