Bar Josephine

Bar Josephine sits on Barkly Street in Footscray, one of Melbourne's most vibrant and diverse inner-western suburbs. A stylish, much-loved bar, it's earned a strong reputation — the kind of characterful, welcoming venue that's become a genuine favourite in an area with a thriving, evolving food-and-drink scene.

The appeal is that combination of quality drinks, a good food offering and a relaxed, characterful setting in a great Footscray location, ideal for a catch-up, a special night out or settling in for the evening. As the inner west's bar scene continues to flourish, venues like this have given the area real appeal.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 600 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Drinks lists, any food offering, opening hours and pricing change, and a popular Footscray bar fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed drink in a stylish, characterful setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated in Footscray.
