Prahan’s piping hot renovation

Melbourne’s Prahran Hotel has made global headlines for this clever reno, which stacks 17 concrete waterpipes on top of each other to create a wall of windows.

The pub – which retains its traditional art deco façade – has also made use of reused pipes in its front bar area.

But despite the futuristic add-on, it’s still a low-key spot for a beer or two… and the cheap mid-week steaks don’t hurt either.
