Trailblazing Super Whatnot is a funky,
industrial laneway space, with a mezzanine floor and sunken lounge. Drinks: bottled
boutique Australian beers and cocktails (try the cure-all Penicillin). Food: American-in-
spired bar snacks (hot dogs, mini burritos, nachos). Tunes: vinyl DJs Thursday to
Saturday spinning funk, soul and hip-hop; live acoustic acts Wednesday. Winning combo!
BAR
Belgian Beer Cafe
(
www.belgianbeercafebrussels.com.au
;
cnr Mary & Edward Sts; 11.30am-late)
Woodpanelled walls and
art-deco lights lend an old-world charm to this buzzing space. Out the back, the beer
garden has big screens and big after-work egos. Lots of Hoegaarden and Leffe and high-
end bistro fare. Ignore the '80s-era Stevie Wonder.

Laneway
(

;
181 Mary St; noon-midnight Mon-Fri, 6pm-midnight Sat)
Upstairs above
the urbane Euro restaurant (walk through the restaurant to the stairs, or shuffle in the back
door from the eponymous Spencer La), Laneway is a sassy cocktail bar full of upwardly
mobile city fashionistas. Sip a Clementina (spicy mandarin and tequila) then order a
wagyu burger to keep you upright.
Port Office Hotel
(
www.portofficehotel.com.au
;
cnr Edward & Margaret Sts; 11am-late Mon-Fri, noon-late Sat)
An oval-shaped
marble bar, black laquered floorboards and charcoal-coloured walls conjure up a delight-
fully sinister atmosphere here - enough of an excuse for the downtown corporate crowd to
act naughty after work. There's also a wine bar, and, if you're hungry, a classy eatery
called Fix Restaurant.
