Venues along Bridge Rd, Swan St and Victoria St were host to stream of locals out for a good time on Friday in Richmond's nightspots.
From after-work drinks, school socials, birthdays to the marking of the end of a business trip, there were plenty of reasons to celebrate - not that you really need one.
Go out and support your favourite local hospitality venue. You won't regret it.
