Drinks After a Day at the Races


A day at the Spring Racing Carnival is about fashion, friends, fun and maybe even backing a winner or two - and we're talking horseflesh here. After the last race, there's no need to pack up your picnic rug and head straight home. If you're still fit to party, jump on the next city-bound train and investigate a few city bars - hat 'n all. Below are a bevvy of the best within a short stroll of Flinders Street Station - the main station from where all trains will start or finish taking racegoers to the respective racetracks.
