For a pub equipped with one of the best beer gardens in all of Melbourne to also have one of the best darkened fire dens seems a little unlikely, but such is the quiet, understated magic of The Standard. Always full, but not overwhelming, possessed of a clientele that tends to skew 25 and above, and with reliable and not excessively loud live music on most nights of the week, it’s a warm, enjoyable and trenchantly easygoing place to sit and have a pint or five. As an added bonus, the undercover part of the beer garden is equipped with overhead heaters making sitting outside a distinct possibility even in the heights of winter. I mean, you’ll still be wearing three layers, gloves and a scarf, but sometimes it’s good to get outdoors, y’know?
