Things to do in Richmond
Richmond's social spine — packed with restaurants, bars, and cafés. Busiest on Friday nights and AFL game days.
Melbourne's premier Vietnamese dining precinct. Pho, bánh mì, and bubble tea from dozens of family-run restaurants.
The spiritual home of Australian football. Tours run on non-event days — the precinct is worth visiting even without a game.
A quiet strip of parkland along the Yarra. Good running track connecting to the Main Yarra Trail.
Independent clothing stores, homewares, and specialty retailers along a walkable strip.
Hidden gems
The Loaded Dog (Church St)
A Richmond institution without the attitude. Good local taps, reliable pub food, and loyal regulars who've been coming for decades.
Tran Tran (Victoria St)
Locals' pick for pho on Victoria Street — the broth is cooked longer and the portions are honest. No frills, always busy.

Robbie Burns Hotel
Unpretentious corner pub near Swan Street that somehow stayed intact through the suburb's transformation. Worth a quiet afternoon pint.
