Best Bars in Springvale 2026
Going out in Springvale does not have to mean a taxi to Chapel Street. The local bars and pubs have enough variety for a proper night out without leaving the suburb.
What to Expect
The bar scene is eclectic. Traditional pubs sit alongside karaoke venues, cocktail bars, and restaurant-bars where the drinks are as good as the food. Expect diverse crowds and price points that range from $5 pots to $20 cocktails.
What You Will Pay
- Pints of tap beer: $10 to $14
- Cocktails: $18 to $24
- Wine by the glass: $11 to $16
- Spirits: $10 to $14 for a standard pour
Some venues in Springvale run weeknight specials — $10 cocktails on Tuesdays, half-price bottles on Wednesdays. Check their socials for current deals.
Best Nights
- Thursday: The local warm-up night. Venues are full enough to have energy but not so packed you cannot get to the bar.
- Friday: The main event. Book tables where possible.
- Saturday: Can be quieter than Friday in Springvale — locals head into the city or to bigger strips.
- Sunday: Several pubs do Sunday sessions with live music or DJs. Underrated.
Getting Home
Public transport options from Springvale run until midnight on most lines. On weekends, Night Network services extend later. Ride-share is usually $15 to $30 to surrounding suburbs depending on surge. If you are driving, leave the car — street parking near bars gets monitored.
