The Tipsy Cow - Cocktail Tapas Bar & Beer Garden

Skip the stiff sit-down dinners—Port Melbourne’s Bay Street runs on the living-room ease of The Tipsy Cow. Settle into deep couches or head straight for the breezy courtyard out back. Regulars treat the sprawling list of over sixty cocktails as an open canvas, especially when happy hour rolls around alongside grazing boards and buttermilk fried chicken. Group organisers quietly book out the garden space for celebrations without the usual friction of room hire costs or cakeage fees. Bring your dog along, too—four-legged companions get greeted with their own plated treats right at the table. A seafood platter lands with a trio of house dips, crisp calamari, and cold pours.
