"Bar Liberty's interior feels a bit austere, but when it’s filled with drinkers—as in, on most nights—the space (in Fitzroy) fills with genuine warmth. The owners, who have pedigrees that include a number of Melbourne’s fine-dining establishments, wanted to create a place anyone would enjoy, and they’ve certainly achieved that. It’s all about wine here, with a focus on small producers and natural bottles. There’s also a short but sensational cocktail list." - Carrie Hutchinson
