The alternatives were to be 'temperance hotels' or 'coffee palaces' and 'temperance restaurants' or 'coffee taverns'.

These places were set up in such a way so as one could reside or dine without the bother of alcohol or noisy drinkers. Prahran’s coffee tavern opened its doors in 1883, where both men and women gathered to dine, small family run businesses developed in the area, mainly by the European settlement. With some of these restaurants catering for weddings and other social occasions.
