Bar For Now is a simple, unpretentious bar on Carlisle Street in St Kilda, prized by regulars for a beer list that runs to hundreds of options plus six taps, including a refillable 1.9 litre bottle service for beer enthusiasts.

Reviewers describe a cosy, chilled-out space with room to sit in a group, good music and a DJ after hours, and staff who keep things relaxed rather than fussy. The owner/manager is called out by name in reviews for a friendly, easygoing approach.

It's a drinks-only venue rather than a dining destination, so it suits people after a low-key spot for a beer or glass of wine with friends rather than a full night out.
