Opposite Flinders St Station, this heritage pub has been pouring beer since 1861 and makes for a popular meeting spot. Head to the 1st-floor Chloe's Bar (home to a famous nude painting of the eponymous young woman) or continue to the rooftop bar, where there's a good selection of Australian craft beers and ciders on tap.
