ST KILDA GUIDE

TOP 10 THINGS TO DO WHILST YOU’RE IN ST KILDA

 

  1. GRAB A GREAT COFFEE FROM FITZROVIA

Fitzrovia is a local favourite, serving award-winning breakfast and speciality coffee by St Ali. This cafe, which uses the freshest Victorian produce, is the ideal place to grab a bite before the event while relaxing in the relaxed atmosphere.

 

  1. HEAD TO THE ICONIC ‘ESPY’

The Hotel Esplanade, located right on the beach in St Kilda, has something for everyone. The newly renovated Espy has three stages, two restaurants, and twelve bars, so you can enjoy pub classics, live music, cocktails, or Cantonese cuisine.

 

  1. GO TO MILK THE COW FOR SOME WINE AND CHEESE

When you combine wine and cheese, you can’t go wrong. Milk The Cow offers over 180 different types of cheese as well as a large selection of wines to pair with them. If you don’t like wine, they also have beers, ciders, and whiskies.

 

  1. GET THAT PERFECT INSTAGRAM SHOT AT MATCHA MYLK BAR

This plant-based coffee shop is one for the gram and is known for its robust colourful menu. Think vegan eggs made out of sweet potato and bright blue lattes…this place is definitely a spot you can’t miss. 

 

  1. HAVE A PICNIC BY ST KILDA BEACH

Grab a few drinks and snacks and head down to the waterfront, where there are BBQs and large grass areas for a picnic before heading into the event.

 

  1. TRY ONE OF THE MANY CRAFT BEERS ON TAP AT THE LOCAL TAPHOUSE

This European-inspired neighbourhood tavern has won numerous awards and features 20 rotating taps. Stop by and try a new beer; they also have a food menu that is designed to complement your beer of choice.

 

  1. ENJOY THE VIEW AT ST KILDA PIER

Take a stroll up the St Kilda Pier and enjoy the Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay view. There is a local fairy penguin community there, but the kiosk and end of the pier are closed until the end of 2024 for rebuilding.

 

  1. INDULGE IN A FAMOUS PASTRY OR CAKE FROM MONARCH CAKES 

Try this famous pastry shop which has been around since 1934. Serving up traditional polish pastries, you definitely have to stop by and try their polish baked cheesecake. 

 

  1. EAT SOME FRESH SEAFOOD FROM CLAYPOTS

Claypots offers the best and freshest seafood in the area, as well as a diverse selection of alcoholic beverages. Its cosy atmosphere, combined with the live jazz band, makes it the ideal place to stop before heading into the event.

 

  1. PARTY THE NIGHT AWAY AT THE LOCAL CLUBS

FISHER has just finished, but are you finished for the night? Say less, there are plenty of late-night options ranging from cocktail bars to clubs such as Secret Garden and 29th Apartment, or you can take a short trip to Chapel Street to party until sunrise.
