Best & Cool Bars in Macedon

"Who doesn’t love a charming neighbourhood bar with a serious focus on food?. This is exactly what you’ll find at Young George, a joint that has a bar where you can settle in to drink great wine, cocktails, craft beery and cider before chomping your way through dish and after dish on the menu. The eclectic variety of food on offer by Head Chef Melissa Palinkas is a combination of bold flavours and global influences, and perfectly at home in the setting of this heritage building in East Freo."

"Relive your youth at the Young George, a two floor unique bar and bottle shop located in East Fremantle. Although their wood fire is an integral part of their cooking, their bar focused, globally inspired dishes are all produced using seasonal and local food. If ‘You’ve Been Tangoed’ or you’re ‘Just Peachy’, you can’t help but enjoy their cocktails all night long."

"Fremantle’s Young George have you covered with family meals (serving 4-6) or individual meals to choose from. Check out their online order form and start salivating at the thought of ramen fried milk buns, boneless lamb leg and so much more."

"Little Creatures Brewery, Fremantle, Perth Region, Western Australia MorningCruise down the Swan River to the charming port of Fremantle, its streets filled with stories of convicts, maritime heroes, murderous mutineers and pioneers. Taste the past on a tour of Fremantle Prison, the state's first jail and largest convict built structure, and check out Western Australian Maritime Museum, overlooking the Indian Ocean, which features the winning America's Cup yacht, Australia II, an Oberon class submarine and the 17th century Dutch Batavia shipwreck."

"More great beer and views to match await scarcely 100 paces away at a craft beer destination in itself: Little Creatures. A craft beer station of the cross, craft beer mecca, the spiritual home of Australian craft beer – call it what you will, you’ll find there’s nothing quite like enjoying a Little Creatures Pale Ale or Hotchkiss Six stout straight from the source. Did we mention the views?"

"Little Creatures is a famous local brewery in Fremantle than also has one of the best restaurants in town. The brewery offers its own experience of watching the brewing craft, but perhaps the highlight is being able to dine at the establishment. You’ll have a choice of indoor or outdoor dining, both accompanied y a vibrant atmosphere from the staff or guests enjoying the brew."

"Walking for ten minutes as the Freo Doctor’s salty mistral mingles past the century old terraced homes, restored warehouses and urban apartments of Fremantle’s West End, you will arrive in a otherwise unassuming street a block back from the Cappuccino Strip. It’s here that Strange Company effortlessly weaves good design, great service and, of course, glorious beer into a modern yet mid-century influenced space that was once a wetsuit factory. The local focus on the eight venue owned taps may not stray into the esoteric ends of craft beer, however there is enough on offer to keep the crawler happy."

"After one of Freo's pacey (well, mellow) days, this is where to draw the evening to a close. On a tranquil side street, this bar is a deceptively deep space rocking a modern vibe, with a timber-lined ceiling above black banquettes on a concrete floor. There are interesting share plates on the menu (burnt eggplant and fetta; grilled octopus, basil and almond) and plentiful beer and wine, but this feels like the place for a cocktail."

"We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today."

"The east end of Freo brings a bustling hub that allows you to get the best of every world by eating, drinking, working, and playing all under the roof of a beautifully historic warehouse. houses several restaurants, cocktail bars, and an incubation kitchen perfect for your morning coffee, dinner, and even late-night drinks. Combining Asian-infused flavors and dishes from the Nikkei Cuisine lies Don Tapa and nearby speakeasy-inspired cocktail bar, Alter Ego, serving up drinks to kick-start your night."

"Escape the bustle of Fremantle’s main streets and head to the new East End of Freo, where, within the beautifully historic warehouse, lies Alter Ego, a small bar serving up craft cocktails. Inspired by Prohibition speakeasy bars, this cocktail bar will have you relaxing with friends and unwinding over a cocktail or two that won’t lead to your alter ego making an appearance after a pineapple-infused rum cocktail."

"Industrial elegance meets rustic old car garage- that’s what you’ll get as you step into Gordon Street Garage. Their coffee roast is superb and the foods not half bad either with a spiced apple and rhubarb hotcake the perfect sweet treat on your morning venture."

"If you were missing your weekly steak sandwich, items from their succulent grilled menu or a chicken parmi with fries, you no longer have to go without. Victoria Park Hotel‘s menu is pretty extensive too, so you have plenty to choose from."

"Many Perth locals are familiar with The Aviary, a hotspot for white collar workers on weekday nights and Friday after-work functions. The majority head straight to the rooftop Nest bar for a knock-off pint and cocktail, but on the way up, smart diners will stop at The Bird Cage Restaurant and Lounge Bar for the best modern Australian and South East Asian fusion fare in town. Start off with light bites, like chili salted silken tofu with tamarind caramel or omelette rice paper rolls and nam jim, before progressing to larger sharing plates, like braised black bean beef cheek with chili mint jam and Asian slaw, or vegetable rendang with coconut, sweet potato, chilli and cashews."

"Sitting above the Perth underground train station, the Aviary is one of Perth’s largest rooftop bars. With bright colours and happy hours on the hour, don’t miss out on the perfect Instagrammable moment."

"Kick back and get your fingers doing the ordering for some of The Aviary‘s meals and bites via UberEats. Grazing items, burgers, pizzas or something more substantial… the world is your oyster."

"Home to convict-built Government House and Town Hall. The City Center is also within walking distance to Kings Park & Botanic Gardens."

"When we reminisce over what we’re missing the most for some it is likely a generous pub meal and an ice cold beer. If this is you then a takeaway meal from this Belmont spot should added to your itinerary, the team also accept entertainment cards and senior discount."

"The Woodfired Baker pledges to keep things simple when it comes to the age-old art of bread-making, using nothing but flour, water, salt and wild yeast, minus the chemicals or additives. Across the road from Maylands train station on the Whatley Crescent café strip, master baker Andrew Ritchie uses a restored century-old wood-fired oven to bake his bread, brownies and sweets. “I haven’t actually made it out to visit his shop, but I’ve heard lots of good things about it,” Atwell says."
