It’s been a train station and the debaucherous Rah Bar, but this Toorak Road site has now entered another new era as the Godby Hotel. From Julien Moussi’s Only Hospitality group (Beehive Hotel, Hotel Collingwood and more), it’s billed as a pub, but its offering runs the gamut wildly.

The menu globe trots from sushi and sashimi to vodka rigatoni and a parma. And beyond the convivial front bar, through “secret” pivot doors, is Nightbird, a dimly lit den inspired by the vinyl listening bars of Japan.
