Drinks & Nightlife
Nice, open-air bar overlooking Spring Street historic buildings in the city. Right near the Princess Theatre for pre-theatre drinks ( above The European restaurant. Enter though the non-descript door next to The European, and climb stairs to the top floor). Very yummy Expresso Martini.

Lovely old buildings, shops (expensive, but fun to look at) and some long-established iconic Melbourne restaurants. Think Bistro D'Orsay and Grossi Florentino.
