Kira Puru

Multi-disciplinary artist and musician, Kira Puru, quickly gathered a cult following with her hynoptic single, 

, which amassed 2.5 million streams. Known for her charismatic live performances and genre-defying songwriting, she is widely considered as one of Australia's most promising young voices. With her second single, 

, landing at #75 on the triple j hottest 100 and garnering over 2.7 million streams, it's not hard to see why her headline tours across Australia continue to sell out. Scroll down for a curated guide by this up and coming artist.

A no-frills dive bar in the heart of Fitzroy. It's been one of my favourite haunts for like ten years and it literally hasn't changed that entire time.

A classic all-rounder, great for first dates, meet-the-parents, business meetings, or drinks with mates. The vibe is awesome, sangria is delicious, food is great, though it's a high risk game taking Americans out for Mexican. The fish taco is lit.

A tiny little cafe on Sparta Lane in Brunswick. I go for the lone barista, Michael's dry banter, but yeah, the coffee is good too.

This is your cheap and cheerful date night shit. $9 will get you a massive pasta but $40 will get you a literal 3 course meal for two. If you're broke and into carbs, this is it.

The wine list is always short but great, and if you can't get dirty martinis dirty enough. Here's your joint.

First Saturday of every month, this is the hot tip for cheap designer vintage gems, and yeah, you can drink while you shop.

Pretty sure I had the best dinner of my life here. I guess you've gotta like meat though. Seriously take a day off eating before you go here because it's really sad when you're full.

My two rogue punk mates own this dive bar in Thornbury, it's a safe bet for random weird times and a very diverse crowd.

So close to the city but so handy if you need to be amongst some nature and clear your mind for a bit. Perfect for a little afternoon bike ride.

This is a real cute first date vibe. The decor is simple and stylish, the staff are sweet and there's always a great record spinning.

Good Times
