The largest congestion of venues lies on and around the bustling and hectic Bruswick Street where you have no trouble finding a cocktail, craft beer or nightclub to suit. The area is renowned for its bohemian and often alternative culture which makes it the perfect centre for the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
Other streets in the area where you will find groups of nightlife venues include Smith Street & Wellington Street, both of which are parallel to Brunswick street and in all cases most of the activity lies towards the city end.
Slowpoke Lounge & Lookout is a hidden rooftop gem perched above the streets of Collingwood, bringing together moody lounge vibes, lush greenery, and panoramic views. This laid-back yet stylish bar offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere where you can enjoy expertly crafted cocktails, natural wines, and local beers. With its eclectic furnishings and neighbourhood charm, it’s the perfect place to unwind at golden hour or gather for intimate evenings above the buzz of Gipps Street.
