A beer garden, a gig or a proper pub dinner: Fitzroy leaves you a few ways to spend the afternoon.

There’s more than one way to spend a Collingwood pub night.

Richmond doesn’t need a footy fixture to make a pub night worthwhile.

Brunswick gives you plenty of reasons to stay at the pub: a pool table at The Bergy, live music at Hotel Railway, or a brewery at Welcome to Brunswick.

A Guinness at The Fifth Province, a Carlton at Harvey’s, or a beer on the rooftop at The Local Taphouse: St Kilda offers a few different pub nights.

Clocked off and keen for a beer? Temperance, Arcadia and The Osborne give you three South Yarra starting points with food on the menu.

Some nights just need a pub meal and a beer.

Prahran is a good place to leave the second stop undecided.

A cheap pint is still out there in Melbourne.

After-work beers don’t need to start with a hunt for happy hour.

Sydney’s cheaper pint options aren’t all in the same neighbourhood.

Keen on a pint rather than a smaller pour? Springwood Tower Apartment Hotel, Grays Bar and Restaurant and Hotel Commonwealth are among the regular prices below.

If XXXX Gold is your usual, Cecil Hotel, Currumbin Hotel and Dog and Parrot Tavern give you a few regular pint prices to compare on the Gold Coast.

An early knock-off is a decent excuse for a pub catch-up. The specials below run across Greater Melbourne, from St Andrews Hotel to Doutta Galla and Half Moon.

One after work in Fitzroy? Baxter’s Live, Naked for Satan and Sugar Glider are among the places with offers below.

Mountain Goat Richmond, Royston and London Tavern are three places to look for an early beer in Richmond. The offers below give you the prices and hours together.

An early beer in Brunswick can leave a bit more in the budget for the rest of the night.

St Kilda has a few reasons to meet early. Jekyll & Hyde, Loud Mouth and The Lion and Wombat are among the offers below, with the beer, serving and hours together.

The footy’s better when you can hear the commentary and nobody’s balancing a plate on their knees.

Off to the ’G, or watching from the pub? Richmond can do either, but they make for different afternoons.

The match is sorted; now for a pub in Fitzroy.

A city pub is a handy meeting point when your mates are coming from all over.

A pre-match beer shouldn’t end with a dash through the MCG gates. Cricketers Arms, The Precinct and London Tavern give you a few starting points near the ground.

Builders Arms, Marquis of Lorne, Napier. Three Fitzroy pubs, a bit of a walk and enough room to stop for a proper feed.

Start at Prince Patrick, head to Grace Darling and finish at Hotel Collingwood.

A beer garden at London Tavern, a rooftop at Corner, then Richmond Club Hotel for the last stop.

Choose the band first; the pub dinner can follow. The Bergy, Hotel Railway and Howler are among the Brunswick venues with live music below.

Tickets sorted? The Duke of Wellington, Garden State and Transport are a few places to get the group together before a show at Forum Melbourne.

Keen to head out, without organising the whole night? Pick one thing first: a feed, an early special or a pub close to everyone.
