"Climb the stairs behind a bookcase in Captain Melville, a restaurant set in a bluestone pub in the CBD that’s more than 150 years old, to find Loch & Key, a more intimate bar with a vibe that isn’t dissimilar to a cabin in the woods. Timber-paneled nooks, intimate booths, and deer heads mounted on the wall all give this lair the feel of a secret gentleman’s club. There’s also a great balcony for those who need some air. This is a no-brainer if you’re looking for a place to wind down after a night of clubbing, although it's just as great earlier on, when the scene is much calmer and when you'll have a much better chance of snagging a spot on the balcony." - Carrie Hutchinson
