Rob Roy
The Rob Roy is does live and local music, usually of the guitar variety. Its small back band room is watched over by a determined Johnny Cash, and its front bar is a kitschy collection of furniture. Entry fees are extremely affordable and sometimes free. (By the by, staff have reported spooky sightings and things that go bump in the night.)

Wesley Anne
This atmospheric pub set up shop in a church mission’s house of assembly. What else can you expect when the demon drink wins out against the forces of temperance? Booze, yes, but also interesting food, live music, a big beer garden with space heaters and a cruisy crowd who often bring their kids along in daylight hours.

Cornish Arms
The Cornish Arms is a big, friendly venue hosting performances by local talents, some of them firmly from the ‘80s, but nonetheless interesting. There’s some form of entertainment nightly, be it music, comedy or cabaret. Sunday-afternoon sessions are popular with young families.

Retreat
This big ol’ rambling hotel scores on food, drink and music. Blues, roots and acoustic dominate the first half of the week and the DJs move in on the weekends. Regardless of the genre, dancing is almost mandatory and entry is around $10.

Greyhound Hotel
On Saturday nights this grotty local boozer with tonnes of rough-round-the-edges charm has drag shows. Other nights you can expect live music and cheap unpretentious drinks.

Night Cat
The Cat is a large, comfortable space with a great atmosphere and skew-whiff 1950s decor (a Melbourne trademark). Bands here are big and play anything from jazz to salsa.
