Melbourne’s CBD is famous for its iconic murals, cafe culture and fashion - always buzzing with new events and spaces waiting to be enjoyed. Common Cuts, with their “Where the grill leads, and the music follows” concept, blend right in.
Local Guides are brought to you by your friendly concierge, Worktones. We’ve got the plug on the best restaurants, cafes, bars and other gems in the neighbourhood by those who know a thing or two about serving up good times in the area.
Their $28 steak frites is the star of the show, butchered and prepared in-house, best accompanied by small plates, a fun cocktail and a selection of vinyls spinning all night long. Until 1 am on Friday and Saturday, to be exact.
The moody interior completes the picture, a space full of personality. Add in one of their DJ sessions, and you've just made steak night a full-on celebration.
We asked the team at Common Cuts to share the spots in the Melbourne CBD they can’t seem to get enough of.
