15 Best Bars in Melbourne | Condé Nast Traveler

"There are neon lights, a jukebox stacked with classic rock albums by the likes of the Eagles, Bowie, and Queen, and no dance floor. That doesn’t mean there won’t be people shaking their booties in whatever tiny space they can find. Call Heartbreaker a dive bar if you like, but it’s the best place for some old-fashioned raucous fun. Heartbreaker might be in the heart of The City, but this crowd is rock 'n' roll to its core. It’s not that no one comes here after work; rather, it's that ties come off and and top buttons loosen. Anyone versed in the ways of billiards turns up on Sunday evenings for the weekly Ballbreaker pool tournament. This joint stays open until 3 a.m. every night except Sunday, when you’ll have to clear out by 1 a.m." - Carrie Hutchinson
