The Top 10 Bars In Collingwood, Melbourne
The not-so-secret history of inner city Melbourne – all the up-and-coming popular suburbs such as Fitzroy and Collingwood – is that these were the true slums of Melbourne when it was first formed. Every highly sought-after terrace house once held three families with little more than an outhouse and fireplace. In terms of lifestyle and culture, these suburbs now could not be more popular. The latest suburb to finally graduate from slumdom is Collingwood, so here are the top ten bars for the area.
Mr. Wow’s Emporium
The name alone hints of the treasure trove that might lie within, but the tagline seals the deal when they describe themselves as ‘purveyors of fine drinks, good times and bocce.’ Seamlessly combining the unique niche of the Northside vibe and classy cocktail bars, Mr. Wow’s Emporium offer a premium range of alcohol, with world-class bartenders providing advice and excellent service. Food is also available, along with pool tables, and, of course, bocce.

Mr. Scruff’s
Mr. Scruff’s is a triple threat – it’s bar, club, and food joint. The fare is affordable, and predominantly an American-style diner type cuisine. With several locations to drink, including inside, outside, upstairs, downstairs, and of course a dance floor, Mr. Scruff’s is a venue for a casual catch up with a friend, or a celebration with a big group. The music tends to range between soul, funk, and hip hop, and the establishment is open late into the night.
