Opening late last year, The Melbourne brings together the people of Oakwood with drinks, board games and pop-ups from local independents.
From the same team behind The Brunswick, expect a lovely selection house drinks with IPAs, cask ales and good old fashioned pints available every single day of the week.
And it’s not just beer they serve here, the cocktail list is an ode to the classics and are made as they should be.

Every Thursday you can grab a pint and a grilled cheese toastie for £9 - and with a sun-trapped outdoor seating area and plenty of cosy corners to tuck yourself into, it's the ideal spot to unwind from the day.
And who could forget about the endless hours you can lose to the board games here - wholesome night in the sunshine with a game of Ludo or Scrabble anyone?
The Melbourne is also a dog-friendly spot that has a stack of treats just waiting for your four legged friend to stop by.

These guys are really behind the community and allow customers to bring in their own food neighbouring foodie spots and even the gorgeous ceramic plant pots come from local creatives.
Whilst there's BYOF and a few snacks on offer here, The Melbourne is playing host to local favourites like Bastards Bistro and Braizin' Squad to fuel all your foodie needs. Just check The Melbourne's Instagram here to find out when they've got chefs in the kitchen.
Anyone that loves a good DIY project won't stop staring at the walls here. Adorned with photographs of the restoration project of the bar, it's a great way to see the before and after of The Melbourne.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Edge's Pizza said: "Well there’s good reason for our silence over the last few months, (planning permission pending) we’ve got a home! Seven months of looking and we’ve learnt so much on this journey already, from investment that didn’t work out, to dodgy buildings not fit for purpose. We’ve got there in the end.
"All that to say, we pride ourselves on perfection and wouldn’t settle for anything less. We hope this will be worth the wait, and that you’ll support us on this next huge step. We are terrified to say the least, but we’re also so excited and immensely grateful to you our lovely customers for this opportunity."

This would be great news for Leeds, as their pizza is something unlike anything we have in the city at the moment.
Forget the floppy, Neapolitan-slices that you fold before shoving in your gob. These slices are satisfyingly thin, perfectly crispy and just downright delicious.
We would love to welcome Edges Pizza to the city and we'll keep you updated with the progress. You can bet we'll be the first to order.
Award-wining Leeds sandwich shop Silver’s Deli to open neighbourhood bakehouse
Clementine Hall
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.
