Congratulations to all winners (and losers, we love all our Melbourne bars. Well, almost all of them) especially the Kitten Club, because I agree - they have some of the friendliest bar tenders in our city. Special shout out to the guy who taught me all about Agwa when I was there last time. Bless.
