Food Scene

Simply the best cafe food tucked away in a quiet corner of Clifton Hill. 15 minute walk through Darling gardens, across Hoddle street and into this this out of the way part of the suburb. Great walks to yarra bend, fairfield and studley park boathouses nearby.

Great food and coffee. A gem of a cafe, next to a florist. The roast meat sandwiches are tasty. Plenty of breakfast and lunch options. Up there with Uncle Drew for best cafe food in the area.

If you're exploring Smith St, this is a good place to start for coffee. Trendy and beautifully presented Smith St Alimentari does breakfast and lunch options, dine in or takeaway. Great salads, sandwiched and wraps. This is the epitome of new wave culinary Collingwood and it's got a nice buzz about it. they've even got their own cookbook which is very popular. It's a 20 minute walk from Swellington or catch the tram from Queens Parade down Smith St.

Drinks & Nightlife

Local Favourite just around the corner from Swellington. This is a cute, friendly local bar with live music. They have one or two beers on tap and you can order Greek food at the bar which is delivered from Triakosia across the road. Music is on most night and has a focus on down to earth folk, singer songwriter and blues styles.

Local Favourite. Live music nights are focussed on country, rockabilly, honkytonk, rock n roll. Even if this isn't your kind of music, it's a very cool rustic bar with great Texan BBQ food. Sunday night music and beers is a fixture.

The closest thing to being in nature in the city. Go and get lost on one of the walking paths along the Yarra River and Merri creek. Great long walks and spots to be explored. Access the rambling yarra bend trails - start by crossing the bridge at the end of Roseneath St, Clifton Hill. Up for a big walking adventure? Try to find the bat colony, or the studley park or fairfield boathouses on foot.
