Pino Pinelli Public Bar

Pino Pinelli Public Bar sits on Peel Street in Collingwood, in Melbourne's vibrant inner north. A characterful public bar, it's earned a strong reputation — the kind of relaxed, genuine local with real personality that's become a favourite in a neighbourhood with a deep food-and-drink culture.

The appeal is that combination of quality drinks, a good food offering and a warm, characterful setting in a great Collingwood location, ideal for a relaxed drink, a catch-up or settling in for the evening. In a competitive inner-north bar scene, building a strong following speaks to a venue that delivers on both the drinks and the atmosphere.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 350 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Drinks lists, any food offering, opening hours and pricing change, and a popular Collingwood bar fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed drink in a genuine, characterful local, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated.
