The Red Hummingbird
The Red Hummingbird reinforces Melbourne's love of hard-to-find rooftop bars and killer cocktails. Tips: When you see the little red birdcage hanging in the street, you've found it. Try the cucumber, mint, gin concoction they call a Renepogel - and if you can still read that backwards, you haven't had enough.

Morris Jones
Amid the bustle, buzz and urban bohemia of Windsor stands this two-storey expansive drinking and dining palace. Boasting a French-centric lunch and dinner menu (wood-grilled steaks a specialty) with a scattering of indoor lounges and a sprawling courtyard at the rear, it’s perfect for post-work feasts or kick-off/on cocktails.
