Read
He's Just Not That Into You
In anticipation of the film release in February next year (starring Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Drew Barrymore, Ben Affleck, Scarlett Johansson, to name a few) read the book it's based on. Made famous by Berger's famous tell-it-like-it-is dating advice to Miranda on Sex and the City. It's cut throat, but sometimes the truth is hard to swallow and hopefully it'll save you time pining over the wrong guy.

After Dark
The Cricketers
Nick-named the'Hole In The Wall', this out of the way pub is located in one of Port Melbourne's residential streets. It's worth finding. A quaint public bar in the front, a fine dining, modern restaurant and a lovely sun filled beer garden at the back.
Have your function here, a light meal or just a beer. It's cosy by the fireplace in winter & atmospheric in summer.
