The intersection of Inkerman, Barkly and Grey streets is where the whole of St Kilda comes together. The Barkly Hotel is a backpackers by any other name. The Bitch is Back is a local retro furniture icon. And of course, you can buy any type of drug or sexual deviancy under the sun on Grey.
I prefer to hang out during the day at Inkr7 (7 Inkerman St, St Kilda VIC 3182 (03) 9534 6011). It's hidden away in a backwater away from the tourist traps. Opposite a cashmere shop and prostitute's collective (and next door to Mr Wolf where you can buy very good pizzas for nearly $20 or more ), the cafe does a healthy trade throughout the day servicing locals and businesses in the vicinity. If you are in St Kilda it is worth the diversion for a bit and a fairly decent and consistent coffee.
The daily special of soup cost $9, today all that left was French onion and the weather was windy enough without my own contributions. So I chose a HCT - ham cheese and tomato pide for $7.50 which comes with a baby rocket salad.
The picture above is of the $12 steak sandwich which I can't avoid when in the mood for flesh.
Inkr7 also serves a decent range of wines by the glass and beers. You can easily eat for under $20. And remember that is the rule here.
