Overview
Collingwood has long been one of Melbourne’s edgiest enclaves—and in Sitchu’s 2025 roundup, The Best Bars in Collingwood for a Cracking Night Out, the neighbourhood’s after-dark brilliance takes centre stage. Known for its gritty charm, creative energy, and anything-goes attitude, Collingwood is the place to be when the sun sets and the drinks start flowing.
This curated list explores the suburb’s diverse and ever-evolving bar scene. You’ll find everything from stripped-back warehouse venues with craft beer on tap to moody speakeasies serving next-level cocktails and rooftops buzzing with music and neon-lit vibes. It’s the kind of place where each bar has its own personality, yet every one feels unmistakably Collingwood.
What sets these venues apart—aside from stellar drinks—is their sense of atmosphere. Expect exposed brick, vintage décor, local art on the walls, and DJs spinning well into the night. Many of these bars also serve up standout snacks or full dining menus, perfect for fuelling a night of good times.
Whether you're a beer enthusiast, wine sipper, or cocktail lover, there’s something here to suit every taste—and every mood. It’s a guide built for spontaneous nights out, first-date magic, or long-overdue catch-ups with friends.
Collingwood doesn’t just do bars—it redefines them. And with Sitchu’s expert picks for 2025, navigating the neighbourhood’s best drinking spots has never been easier (or more fun). So round up your crew, charge your phone, and get ready for a night out that might just turn into a morning.
