Kirsten Law writes for Epicure: "Fine dining of the traditional European type is the norm here, but if you're a Richmond local starved of nice places to take your visiting friends or family, Church Street Enoteca could come in handy." Click here for the full review.

New Bar: Bosito's

From the Spirit Fingers team, who brought you Double Happiness and New Gold Mountain, comes a new bar outside of Liverpool Street. Mr. Bosito's Liquor Bar is described by Deck of Secrets as "Melbourne's new Euro-style breakfast bar" on Bridge Road, Richmond. "Prosciutto, pancetta and breasola hang over the counter deli-style, while buffalo mozzarella and pan-fried haloumi beckon from the menu."

New Review: Precinct

Formerly the Depot, Richmond's Precinct has been reviewed by Clem Bastow for Epicure. "And if the makeover is a little unimaginative in an interior design sense, although retaining the pressed-tin ceiling over the dance floor is a nice touch, what the Precinct lacks in surface decoration, it makes up for in atmosphere."

Are Jagerbombs endangered?

Jagerbombs could soon be extinct at many inner-city Melbourne bars and pubs as venues choose to take the infamous drinks off the menu. Nadia Salemme highlighted in today's Melbourne Leader three Richmond bars that have removed Jagerbombs, and sometimes other drinks, from their offerings.

Public House manager Scott Elvery said they did not serve get-drunk-quick drinks. The pub's banned list included Jagerbombs, Southern Comfort shots and Midori Illusion shakers. Bundaberg Rum, Baccardi and Malibu were also off the menu.
