Deco Wine Bar

A neighbourhood favourite for more than 10 years, Deco Wine Bar is decked out with vintage posters, curved mirrors and Empire State Building references. Out the back is an Astroturfed courtyard with umbrella-shaded tables. Wine and imported beers are the bar's raison d'atre, though they'll whip you up a classic cocktail if you're that way inclined. Boutique brews traipse from Melbourne microbreweries to Belgian monasteries, peaking at a $200 bottle of BrewDog Tactical Nuclear Penguin. A blackboard summarises wines by the glass; the by-the-bottle list offers more than 100 reasons to become a local.
