Bar Oussou — Restaurant in Melbourne

It's inclusive. It's cozey. It's warm. It is art coming together in all the forms. Great drinks and a perfect place for fun, casual drop ins with friends, or a random catch-up. This bar has changed hands many times, but it has continued to add so much positivity and goodness to the community, and it was beautiful to see the uplifted spirits on the night that I had the luck to enjoy a wonderful Open-Mic Night Hosted by Jack & Nora (forgive me if I got the name incorrect). But, a must visit place on regular places and enjoy your local artists showcasing their talent before they become big like...
