Best live music:
The Pink Pelican (aka The Pelly Bar), The Monkey Bar (formerly The Saloon). Frankston also hosts the annual Frankston International Guitar Festival.

21st Century Dance Club (due to the fact that it is the only real night club in Frankston) ... although The Voodoo Lounge is pretty cool, but only after a few beers.

Best live music:
Shennanigans, Ducks Nuts, Lizard Lounge

Best pub:
The Pelly Bar. Flanagan’s Irish pub is next door, which isn’t bad, The Monkey Bar is good when there’s a band playing and all the recruits from HMAS Cerberus tend to hang around the Pint and Pickle (English pub).

Best cinema:
Frankston Village Cinemas, located on the exclusive Kananook Creek waterfront.

Best food:
The hotdog stand outside the best pub (their dim sims are exquisite). Ling Wah (Chinese), The Pier Hotel (pub food), The Grand (more pub food), The Pancake Kitchen (pancakes).
