Old Plates

Forget the standard Fitzroy pub crawl. Old Plates is where you go when you want stellar cocktails served with a side of heavy vinyl. Half intimate watering hole, half crate-digger’s paradise. Audiophiles and Brunswick Street regulars make a beeline here for the immaculate atmosphere—and the fact that the ultra-welcoming staff actually let you spin the wax you pick out. Deep cuts, South African grooves, prime street-side views. The backbar is seriously stacked. Grab your mates for a sunny afternoon sesh, snag a window seat, and let the analog warmth wash over you. Pure tactile bliss.
