The fastest-growing dining out program in the world officially touched down in Melbourne on 26th July 2019. On day one, 2000 members joined Gold to start brunchin’, dining and drinkin’ with member benefits at nearly 400 restaurants. It’s officially happy hour every hour in Melbourne!

With 10,000 members on the waitlist prior to launch, it was only a matter of hours before the memberships would sell out. Here are a few of our favourites that’ll have you dining from dawn till dusk:



9:00 a.m. Breakfast at Short Straw

Start your day at Short Straw – it has everything you’d want including an amazing ‘very Melbourne’ breakfast/brunch cafe. With a cosy atmosphere, friendly staff and menu packed with all your brunch faves suited for each season. This winter, they are dishing up tasty treats such as Winter Waffles, Overnight Delight (warm porridge) and other healthy digs such as their Vege Patch and Garden of Eden.



2:00 p.m. Lunch at Burger Shurger

Burger Shurger pushes the boundaries and redefines good burgers. Their Indian-burger-curry hybrid (or #burgerporn) attracts people from all over the city to gather at Elsternwick for a bite of their speciality. Veggie lovers are also in for a treat as they’ve got a vegetarian range that has given this little joint a reputation for being Melbourne’s best vegetarian-friendly burger bar.

7:00 p.m. Dinner at Drumplings

Head on over to Drumplings and double down on, you guessed it, dumplings! Drumplings offers a unique and modern dumpling experience with a unique twist on traditional classics. Think Cheeseburger, Mac & Cheese and Beef Rendang stuffed in traditional dumplings. But that’s not it! You can even dip into classic Chinese favourites such as Xiao Long Bao, Prawn & Ginger dumplings and Gua Bao’s as well. #nomnom

7:00 p.m. Drinks at StoryVille

Head down the road and tantalise all your senses at StoryVille. This fairytale-like bar is one that you’ll want to tell all your friends about. Their dream-like cocktail menu is presented in a classic storybook format that will leave you enchanted and mesmerised. Our suggestion? Try a round of their Willy Wonka-inspired cocktail – it comes with a golden ticket that gives you a chance to win a surprise gift.



11:00 p.m. Late-night Drinks at Pawn & Co

No point ending a night like this early. Especially when the fun at Pawn & Co is just about to begin. Pawn & Co isn’t only known for their cocktails, but also ‘cause absolutely everything in the bar is for sale. With a prohibition-chic atmosphere and steampunk stylists, here you sit back in a tram booth and drink all night, or have a little boogie on the dance floor.
