It turns out in life, some things do come free – with the owners of a Melbourne bar currently on the hunt for the right person to give it away to. Hard Rubbish is 12km north of Melbourne’s CBD on the border of Preston and Reservoir, right on the 86 tram line. The small space, filled with locals on a Friday night, is fitted out with decor found mostly on the street.
Charlotte Tizzard runs the bar, which she owns with her brother James and sister-in-law Katie Smith. It’s currently valued at about $90,000 but she promises the offer to take over the business for free is no trick. There’s no debt and it will make a “modest” profit for its new owner.
