Joe's Shoe Store

This place is easily a 5. Favourite Northcote bar for many years. Great for a low key catch up, dim lighting and easy music.

Very cool bar with a great drinks menu and friendly staff. You can find a quiet corner or take in the vinyl action sitting at the bar. The night can be what you make of it here and nobody passes any remarks or judgements. Would love to have more bars like this in Melbourne.

Love this place. It's an institution in the area and you're always guaranteed a great cocktail and an intro to some new tunes. Bar seats are good or if you're lucky you can snag a booth + you can order pizza from next door and bring it in. Amazing wallpaper in the loo too!
