Drinking Melbourne is the weekly newsletter from drinks writer Fred Siggins, unpacking what’s happening in Melbourne’s bars (and what you can learn from them), sent every Tuesday to your inbox. Get on the list here.
Today, Fred goes inside new Melbourne bar Hands Down, talks about a new campaign from Vic Distilled you’ll want to get involved with, and more.

Hands Down is the new venue from Dominic Xavier and Alex Boon, backed by Hayden Lambert from Above Board and Manu Potoi from Bar Liberty. Located in Greeves Street in the space just off of Smith Street Collingwood, formerly occupied by Bad Frankie, Hands Down officially opened to the public last Tuesday.
