Nice chilled out atmosphere, close to home. Not too loud or crazy.

The bright, high-ceilinged corner site is decorated with kitsch ornaments, vintage propaganda and other souvenirs collected during owner Julia Pleadin’s time abroad. There’s a mismatch of chairs and tables, including two old cinema chairs with the words “Misery loves company” scrawled across them. A blue, mosaic-tiled patch of floor is leftover from the site’s days as a Greek restaurant. The vault, leftover from the site’s days as a bank, is now the bathroom. There’s a framed, instructional Heimlich-manoeuvre poster. A vintage, cotton police banner threatens: “Disperse or we use tear smoke”. All the tap beers are Australian (Coopers, 4 Pines and the like) and change seasonally. Packaged beers are as local as possible, and include less-common varieties, such saisons and praline porters. There’s a short but interesting selection of wines, and classic cocktails. There’s no kitchen, so food is limited to snacky items such as cheese and charcuterie, pickles, anchovies, olives and nuts.

Far from a misery, this bar is just around the corner from Miss Jackson's Cafe and a nice spot to prop and have one or two when waiting for dinner or the next tram. Although you may find yourself stuck there if you're not careful.
