Equinox has an amazing environment, with cheap drinks and friendly staff. It's a great place to just sit outside, with friends, drink some beer and eat some chips with a really good aioli. I've spent many an hour there, and will be spending a lot more there in the future.

Approximate cost: $12

A gem of a place in the Melbourne CBD. Their substantial $10 lunches which include a beer or wine simply need to be experienced. The best value I have found in the city.
