Where to go: late-night dives

2 places

Heartbreaker

Heartbreaker on Russell Street is the city's best late-night dive bar, a red-lit room with a proper jukebox, DJs from 10pm, cheap beer and doors open until 3am every night of the week.

The Old Bar

The Old Bar on Johnston Street is Fitzroy's authentic dive: live bands most nights from local and touring acts, sticky floors, a pool table and a crowd that knows the difference between a venue that has character and one that has only designed itself to look like it does.
