This curiously named pub housed in the old ‘Frostbites’ on Chapel Street has been completely overhauled into a contemporary bar and lounge in the heart of Melbourne’s busy shopping and entertainment district. While its name might suggest this as a place for teetotallers, General Manager, Peter Little, assures us that this pub is well-stocked with booze, saying : “We offer a diverse selection of fine wine and imported beers in a comfortable and contemporary environment that is made even more enjoyable by our knowledgeable and friendly staff.” These ‘friendly’ staff have penned a fun-filled cocktail list including corkers such as vodka and passionfruit cocktail called The Temperemental Jezebel who displays “considerably more than a size 14 in a size 12” and The Low Rider which is apparently “more fun than laps on a Saturday night”.
