Abbotsford Lounge Bar

You'll find yourself on Abbot Street in Craigie, pushing through the door of a place that feels genuinely lived-in rather than designed. The Abbotsford has that comfortable, worn-in quality of a neighbourhood bar that knows exactly what it's doing—no faffing about with craft cocktails or Instagram bait, just reliable drinks and the sort of atmosphere where regulars outnumber tourists by about ten to one. It's the kind of spot where you can nurse a pint for hours without feeling rushed, where the staff actually remember faces, and where a night out doesn't require remortgaging.
