Why it's worth checking out
Plug Nickel sits on Peel Street in Collingwood, in Melbourne's vibrant inner north. A characterful bar, it's earned a strong reputation — the kind of stylish, in-the-know spot that captures the creative, easygoing spirit of Collingwood and has become a genuine favourite for a quality drink in a great atmosphere.
The appeal is that combination of quality drinks, a relaxed yet characterful setting and a convenient Collingwood location, ideal for a catch-up, a special drink or settling in for the evening. In a suburb full of bars, a quality venue with genuine character really stands out, and Plug Nickel has clearly carved out a loyal following in the inner north.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 400 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Drinks lists, any food, opening hours and any events vary, and a popular bar fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed, quality drink in a characterful setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated in Collingwood.
