Find hip Aussies along the South Wharf Promenade

Bustling Australian cities like Melbourne are brimming with innovation and constantly finding ways to entice locals, tourists or those taking medical jobs in Australia to visit its restaurants, shops and city squares. Take the new South Wharf Promenade, for instance, which has quickly risen as the premier spot to drink and dine thanks to places like the Common Man and the Sharing House.

Paying tribute to the historic "common man" who frequented the South Wharf district, this restaurant combines a casual, laid-back atmosphere with the comfort foods of the Land Down Under. Homemade meat pies and local craft brews are staples of the menu, and each night features a different theme. On the weekend, you can pick up a hefty goblet of Brunswick Bitter ale to become an official member of the Saturday Growler Club or relax on Sunday Bloody Sunday for continental breakfast and Bloody Marys.

For a dining experience that a whole group can enjoy together, head to The Sharing House, where head chef Mark Briggs puts every dish in the center of the table. Whether you go with a few companions or choose to meet new friends when you arrive, the meal is sure to bring diners closer together.
