Joe Taylor

Melbourne


Named for the former tailor shop it occupies, this bar has signature cocktails following themes, named after everything from colours to fashion essentials. There are around two dozen craft beers, dozens of gins with drinking suggestions, and a separate Bloody Mary menu ($14 each on Sunday). Bar snacks are available, or sit outside and order from the pizza joint next door.
