The Hour Glass

Head down Melbourne Street towards the Quay and you'll find yourself in a pub that actually feels like a pub—no gastropub pretension, just good people, good drinks, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The Hour Glass has nailed that balance between being somewhere you'd happily pop in for a pint after work and somewhere worth seeking out if you're after something special. The bar knows their stuff when it comes to spirits and beers, which tells you they take their drinks seriously without being snobby about it. It's the kind of place where the regulars have their spots and the newcomers don't feel awkward grabbing a stool.
