A great space to pass the time and read the paper. Brilliant coffee, delicious food, interesting clientele. Converts into a club after hours.

A club that is everything from a dj space to a trance room to a pool table to a cafe to a bar and back to a crazy dance night. Always feels like everyone's welcome whilst maintaining a very cool vibe.

A decidedly different club down a dirty laneway, this is one of Melbourne's best kept nightlife secrets. Ascend the rickety old stairs and you enter a long space with all the charm you could want - organic design, forward thinking DJs and some great cocktails. It can be a bit exclusive on the door Fridays and Saturdays, so get there before 11 and you should be right.

Currently Bust-a-nut, DJ Kano's night Saturday night is a highlight.
