With its masses of restaurants, bars and clubs, Chapel Street is one of Melbourne’s most bustling hubs. In spring the iconic strip will score Studio Amaro, a new two-level Italian restaurant and bar courtesy of the Commune Group, already behind some of the area’s most popular spots, including Firebird, Hanoi Hannah and Tokyo Tina. Publications Director Nick Connellan joins Around Town with the details. Plus, a dark, moody CBD wine bar will highlight American wines alongside greats from Australia and France.
