As the ex manager of Murmur I'm pleased to see that you loved my old joint, but must say I'm disappointed you visited St. Kilda rather than heading to the much more food and drink-centric Fitzroy!<br /><br />Some places to add to the list for your next trip Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556178499188429083.post-3563751591300334872010-05-06T12:17:55.729+10:002010-05-06T12:17:55.729+10:00Wow, very impressive list, thanks for sharing!!
W...Wow, very impressive list, thanks for sharing!!<br /><br />We do have tastes in common, it seems. I've tried quite a number of your favourites places (how cool is Brother Baba Budan!!). But next time I go to Melbourne I have my work cut out thanks to you! Have to try Triskel, Brunetti, Murmur among others.<br /><br />PS: another bar I really like is Berlin Bar in the CBD, 16 Corrs Lane.
