“This is one of my favourite tours to guide, because after four bars the whole group has become fast friends.”
Melbourne is one of the world’s best bar city’s and on this tour we’ll show you why.
Spend three hours exploring four incredible bars, hard to find places you’ll never find on your own. Joined by a trusty local guide, you’re sure to meet some of the best bartenders in the world — from cocktail mixologists to gin distillers, you’ll explore a new side of the city as you uncover the laneway bar scene.
This tour operates mid- to late-afternoon, because a good day out shouldn’t equal a bad night’s sleep. The added benefit of a late afternoon tour? Bartenders have more time to tell us about their favourite recommendations, and bar owners frequently come and introduce their venue to us.
The timing also makes this an excellent pre-dinner activity. If you’re making dinner reservations, we recommend no sooner than 7pm, so you have time to fully enjoy your final drink.
You’ll also get a personalised list of recommendations for more bars to visit, should you want to keep the evening going.
By far our top-selling tour, this experience is one you won’t soon forget.
Melbourne is one of the great cocktail cities — not just in Australia, but the whole world. When hospitality experts speak of the planet’s best spots for cocktails they mention New York, Paris, London….and Melbourne.
The Victorian capital city’s urban design lends itself to small bars. As any local Melburnian will tell you, we are a city of laneways, and those dark, secret alleys are the perfect hiding spot for small bars. No two tours are alike, but we frequent bars in former brothels, restaurants with a secret door — even a bar with a bookshelf hiding its speakeasy.
Your guide will curate a tour just for your group, depending on the group size, time of year, and what’s hot at the moment. The bars will represent four very different aspects of Melbourne’s bar scene, so you’ll never head to four whisky bars, for example.
Your tour begins at Gordon Reserve (74-108 Spring St) – this is a park with a fountain and is located across the street from the Windsor Hotel.
