Feature

A hot dog with chips and a mulled wine at Beer Deluxe

Get your Taco on, with Taco Tuesdays at Transport Hotel. $10 tacos and $10 margaritas

Taco Tuesday at Transport Hotel, with $10 tacos and $10 margaritas

Pop in after work on a Tuesday for an early dinner of tasty tacos and a cheeky margarita (or two) with mates. Choose from classic or spicy margarita – or for the decision-challenged, why not try one of each?

I can’t make Tuesdays! Have your pottery class on Tuesdays? Not to worry. Transport does a Wednesday steak night, where you can get a 300g porterhouse streak with chips for $25. What a steal!

What can I drink? The early bird catches the worm this winter, with Transport’s winter happy hour. Offering selected tap beers, tap wines, Lemon Drop Martinis and Aperol Spritzes from 4pm–7pm weekdays.

$15 cocktails and fondue with a view on Wednesdays and Thursdays, at Transit Rooftop Bar

$15 cheese fondue at Transit Rooftop Bar, plus $15 cocktails on Wednesdays & Thursdays

Don’t wait until summer to plan a cocktail catch-up with friends – have your fondue and eat it too at Transit Rooftop Bar, with stunning views over the Birrarung and Arts Centre spire and live DJs from 5pm.

On Wednesday and Thursdays, you can enjoy bespoke cocktails prepared by Transit’s mixologists as well as authentic French fondue – only $15 each.

Or why not both? You deserve it!

Hot tip for oyster lovers: Transit also offer half-price freshly shucked pacific oysters during Oyster Hour – Friday to Sunday, between 6pm and 7pm.

$20 hot dogs plus mulled drinks at Beer Deluxe

Beer Deluxe winter warmer, hot dog $20, mulled drinks, $17

Cheaper than a burger, and just as delicious – Beer Deluxe’s hot dogs are proper posh fancy, featuring a quality bratwurst in a long bun, with crispy onion and chips. Primo fare on frigid days and frosty nights.

Mull it over with Beer Deluxe’s mulled cider or mulled wine, for only $17. Nothing like a hot, spiced drink to make you fall in love with winter.

$25 parma every day, available at Time Out

Parma, chips and salad deal for $25 at Time Out Fed Square

With all those extra calories you’re burning from keeping warm on these biting Melbourne days, treat yo-self with a delicious and warming parma from Time Out. Cheesy, crispy, saucy and yum yum yummy. And only $25.

Add on: Need something to wash that parma down with? Time Out have $12 pints available every day of the week and $16 cocktails available after 3pm, so you can level up your parma with your bevvie of choice.
