From a team of hospitality heavyweights, Bar Liberty brings carefully selected wines (more than 300 on the list) and expertly crafted cocktails to Fitzroy, minus pretentiousness. The approach is laid-back and the dining focuses on bold, refined food. There are monthly wine dinners upstairs and a rear beer garden, Drinkwell, that's the place to be when it opens during summer.
