In few other cities could you find a bar like this that spans nearly 200 metres along a river. Not to mention that Arbory commands prime property sitting just between the Flinders Station and the Yarra river. The drinks and food are reliable. Arrive early in the afternoon and beat the after-work crowd, sit by the river, contemplate life and admire all this city has to offer.
