By a distance only measurable in light years, The Raccoon Club, is the best watering hole in the Preston region. In fact, I struggle to think of any bar, in Melbourne, that measures up to the bar set by this bar. Cheap, fantastic and often rotated local beers on tap, a relaxed, comfortable interior with free games and a free pool table (!), great music that doesn't drown conversation and a nice outdoor area. Touches like a forward facing facet on the beer taps that delivers carbonated water, cutlery and crockery provided whenever you bring in outside food are totally superfluous to making this bar The Place To Be.
