Time Out Pub Awards 2016: People's Choice

This brick-and-red banquette-filled cavern has become a second home for Melbourne's self-proclaimed brew geeks.

The sister venue to Hawthorn's craft beer haunt, with a wide selection of burgers and brews and an expansive beer garden.

A traditional pub experience as well as a great craft beer bar, it has a huge tap beer list.

Sean Donovan has taken over the Town Hall Hotel and injected a rugged menu with steak as its bloody (or medium rare) beating heart.

It has a cute rooftop, boardgames and books above the fireplace, and plenty of craft beer by the bottle – it's where you'd want to spend your last Sunday.

This modern and classy hotel with an attached bottle shop has a lengthy menu, meat tray raffle on Friday, and $19 aged porterhouse on Thursdays.

This historic Carlton pub has up-to-the-minute brews and a tight and tasty menu courtesy of chef Lachlan Cameron.

Awarded Best Sports Pub at the 2015 Time Out Melbourne Pub Awards, footy is integral to the character and culture of this South Melbourne pub.

One of Melbourne's great classic pubs doesn't need any gimmicks: just an open fire, a hardwood bar, an ageing pool table and cheap prices.

They push the craft beer hard and the good times harder at this beer bar-cum-Vietnamese diner.
