I’m in Melbourne and I honestly haven’t seen any around. I see all this talk about the pubs being full of them but all of the pubs I’ve been to have none.

I’m thinking it must exclusively be an outer suburb thing or places where old people hang out.

RSLs and pub/bistros on shopping centres and along major thoroughfares are the big ones. They're absolutely everywhere, just not traditional pubs in the inner to mid suburbs as much.

I think Crown basically bought up all the licenses in the CBD. I think there might have been one pub at the corner of Williams and Collins or something but the last time I was there it was closed.
