Melbourne Bars - Best Gastro Pubs

The evolution of the 'pub' has changed dramatically over the last few years. Once the domain of seedy, drunk men in a smoke filled, crusty environment, the modern pub is a far cry from its predecessors of yesteryear. Architecturally designed, stylish fittings and fixtures, boutique beers and wines, gourmet food, young and importantly mixed sex clientele - the pub has stepped into the modern age. This is a list of Melbourne's best.
