A slick new three-level pub with panoramic rooftop views opens near Southern Cross Station
Whether you're a Docklands lover or hater, there's no denying it: this end of the CBD gets a lot of foot traffic due to throngs of Southern Cross Station commuters, footy fans headed to Marvel Stadium and the suited and booted corporate folks. So it's only fitting that the city's newest after-work spot should land right in the middle of all the action. Contemporary three-storey pub Quarterhouse – set in the Melbourne Quarter precinct, hence the name – promises to be a touch more stylish than your average sports bar on this end of the CBD (Think DJ sets! Rooftop views! Wagyu skewers!). But not too fancy to alienate those simply seeking a fuss-free drink in a comfy, welcoming space. With its plentiful booths, banquettes and umbrella-shaded street-side tables, the ground floor is your new home for frosty pints and approachable grub like burgers, parmas and fries. Huddle in with the crowd and catch a game on the four-metre-wide LED screen, or if you've popped in on a Sunday arvo, treat yourself to a proper hangover-curing roast (it's $35 and includes all the trimmings, plus bottomless gravy). It's the top level where things get a little sophisticated, thanks to a stylish rooftop bar with an open-air wrap-around terrace playing host to long lunches, acoustic artists and DJs on weekends. This part of the pub opens out onto the brand new Sky Park, suspended above Collins Street, and tides its guests over all week long with tasty wood-fired pizzas, share-style snacks and larger gastropub-inspired dishes like pan-fried barramundi and crumbed pork rib eye. Wedged in between the ground floor and rooftop, the first level is designed to be a flexible and convenient functions and events space. In total, the entire multi-level venue has capacity for up to 1,400 patrons. 'Quarterhouse is exactly what this part of the CBD has been missing,' comments venue manager Luke Bottoms. ' It's everything Melburnians love about a pub; casual and with something for everyone, whilst also offering something unique with our rooftop bar overlooking the Sky Park.' Whether you're looking for a quick pre-drink before your fave team plays at Marvel or you're hungry for a bit of rooftop atmosphere, Quarterhouse is new, nice-looking and well worth a visit. Visit the website for more information. Quarterhouse is now open at 693 Collins St, Docklands, from 11.30am to late daily.

Treat yourself to the full seasonal tasting experience which is an odyssey of flavour you'll want to take your time with. Expect five snacks, seven courses and petit fours. Opt in for the drink pairings which are timed to perfection. Pro tip: come hungry. You're going to want to finish every last bite. Book a table this May for a discount. Bar Bianco This Italian-inspired wine bar is a true all-rounder. Whether you're popping in for a business lunch, a romantic dinner or just a quick espresso at the bar, it always hits the mark. The concise menu is full of wine-friendly bites, with a handful of larger daily specials chalked up on the blackboard. Add an A-grade cocktail list and a quality vino selection, and you've got yourself a little slice of la dolce vita. Vue de Monde For more than 20 years, this luxe restaurant atop Collins Street's Rialto Tower has been a favourite fine diner for Melburnians celebrating all manner of special occasions. Time your visit for golden hour and you'll be treated to breathtaking sunset views of the city skyline, made even more dazzling by the restaurant's multi-million-dollar fit-out. The open kitchen is helmed by executive chef Hugh Allen, who plates up an artful menu that champions native ingredients and high quality produce. Vue de Monde more than lives up to its reputation so add it to your list, stat. And don't forget your Amex Card. Black Pearl When it comes to top-tier cocktails, Black Pearl is the stuff of legend. This family-run Fitzroy institution has been setting the bar (literally) for decades – and teaching Melburnians how to truly appreciate a fine drink along the way. Sure, the classics are spot on, but the real magic lies in the creative, constantly rotating menu that's always a little left-field. Pop in this May for sweet, sweet discounts and see why this famed boozer is worth the hype. Tetto di Carolina Perched above Toorak Road, this rooftop bar is smooth, suave and comfortably luxurious. The fit-out is neutral with a few colourful flourishes and a domed canvas roof that's fully retractable in balmy weather. The drinks menu riffs on classics – try the Havana, which brings together the surprisingly tasty combo of spiced rum and Aperol with pineapple, peach and lime. The menu leans traditional Italian, with everything from snacks to full plates if you're settling in. The best part? Live jazz every Sunday, giving you the perfect excuse to check out Tetto di Carolina and put those AEDMO perks to good use. Anglers Tavern Fresh from a recent refurb, the scenic Anglers Tavern is once again ticking all the boxes of a top-tier watering hole. A favourite among locals, this riverside pub might be a little off the beaten path, but it's well worth the trip – especially on Saturday nights for the late-night DJ sets. Drop by on Wednesdays for trivia, or any day of the week to catch live sport in a relaxed setting. With a dedicated kids' room and ample riverside seating, it's the perfect spot to while away a sunny afternoon over a round of beers with the added perk of AEDMO dining benefits.
