Oasis Lounge

I don't live in Melbourne anymore, but this was the Wednesday night spot during my time there.  It's definitely a laid-back, local hangout, where the bartender knows everyone.  We always used to go in for Wednesday night "Mug Night", basically you bring in any sized container (it has to have a handle to be considered a mug), and they'll fill it for $2.  They also have fresh popcorn for free (random, I know...but oddly the perfect pairing for cheap cold beer), pool, ping pong, and shuffleboard.  It's also just a short walk to the beach, which is extremely convenient for drunken skinny dipping post-bar.  Dumb?  Yes.  Fun?  Absolutely.

It is what it is. Baseball caps, blue jeans, darts and cheap beer. A definite local hang out.

You bring any size mug on Wed. night and they fill it for $2. Do I need to say any more?

Well I will -  this was my 3rd time and we met up w/ friends who were having a b-day. It was understandably busy, but getting your drinks doesn't take long. The piece de resistance? PING PONG!!!!!  But get there early cuz some of these guys take it seriously. They've also got pool tables & of course a juke box. It's a block from the beach so if you get saucy & frisky you can always make out on the sand. Not that I would know anything about that.
