As we reach the halfway point of the month, we can start to see those puffer jackets beginning to make an appearance as winter creeps closer and closer. Fear not, however, because we have a few events to help keep those winter blues at bay. This week has an exciting line up ahead, with milo martinis, bottomless waffles and a chance to win a trip to Brooklyn. So, strap yourselves in, clear your schedules and get ready for some seriously hot deals this week in Melbourne. Here’s all the news you missed this week.
-
Between May to August, Provincial Hotel is serving up bottomless waffles with DIY toppings on their rooftop between 11am-1pm, and we just can’t contain our excitement. They’ve also teamed up with Melbourne Rooftop Honey and Wild Turkey American Honey to provide us with a honey-inspired cocktail menu, so needless to say you’ll know where to find us this winter.

Bridge Road Brewers have created the world’s first micronation - Brewland - and are calling for all citizens. In an effort to combat against multinational corporations controlling Australia’s pubs, bars and bottle shops, Brewland is an independent brewery where quality and flavour comes first. Bring a copy of your citizen certificate and enjoy a free pint from their core range (10-19 May).

Start your day off on the right foot with Jamu’s new breakfast menu containing house-made crumpets, Sambal scrambled eggs and pancakes. From 10:30 am, Jamu is also serving alcoholic beverages including a Milo Martini. Mondays aren’t looking so grim anymore.

Palace Cinemas at Como has become even more classy.

Struggling to find a place to watch the highly-anticipated NBA playoffs? Look no further, Sporting Globe hears you.

If that doesn’t suffice, you can actually win your way to Brooklyn by simply purchasing a Brooklyn Lager Beer (15-22 May). Sounds like a win-win situation to us.

In one of the best collaborations of the month, Burger Project and Darrell Lea have joined forces to bring us smash-ups. These confectionary-spiked desserts are only $2 when you purchase a burger, chips and drink combo pack.

Dust off those Clueless costumes because on 9 June The National Richmond Hotel is bringing you its very own 90s themed bottomless brunch. If you’re into limitless cocktails (from 12pm-4pm), 90s food, dressing up and Mario Kart, then this event is for you.
