"Downtown Melbourne is a sneaky good time, where a few blocks of bars and restaurants abut a bustling arts district. Ground zero for downtown nightlife is Meg O’Malley’s, a classic Irish pub popular for after-work drinks and the occasional live band. Stop in for a Guinness this holiday season and see why the bar’s developed such a massive roster of long-time regulars. Then take your holiday cheer and explore the rest of what downtown Melbourne has to offer, like the popular holiday market or Christmas in the Park program." - Matthew Meltzer
