Who doesn’t love a happy hour? What’s not to love. You’re not at work, the drinks are cheaper and for that hour, life is bliss as your bank balance is looking healthier.
There’s no better spot to enjoy drinks than at some of Melbourne’s best waterfront bars. There’s just something special about hanging out with good friends, drinking some refreshing ales and having open water next to you. It might just be me, but I much prefer drinking outside than inside a stuffy bar.
South Wharf has everything you want and more, so this article is going to give you the heads up on which bars are doing happy hour, what days and at what times. We’ll even try and show you how you can keep the bank manager happy whilst trying out new venues in the one night.
