Skinnys Eatery

Cafe$

This retro charmer hoists the Melbourne milk bar to new ground. A nostalgic menu includes Italian-American sandwiches as well as British staples such as Welsh rarebit and scotch eggs. Closer to home are chicken-salt hash browns and cartons of Nippy’s milk. Stick around for $1 batch brew refills, and soda floats spiked with whisky.
