Through gold rushes and rebellions, Olympics and royal visits, Melburnians have turned to ales, whiskeys, wines, and cocktails for comfort. Experience Melbourne’s unique bar scene with a local guide and visit its unique watering holes. By the end of his tour, you will discover that history really is better with booze (as if there was ever any doubt).
You will visit and have the opportunity to try concoctions from the following pit stops:
A classic Aussie pub. Throw back a pot or a pint and learn how beer nearly led to all alcohol being banned during the gold rush.
A cocktail bar. Experience one of Melbourne’s best mixologists in tiny, hidden cocktail bars that survive on word of mouth alone.
A wine bar. With the Yarra Valley just a stone’s throw away, it would be a sin not to taste some of the delectable wines.
A surprise – Melbourne’s bar scene is ever-changing, so the fourth bar will be chosen by your guide on the day, depending on the group’s desires, the weather, and what is trendy in Melbourne at that particular moment in time.

While at the pub you’ll have the opportunity to ask for further recommendations for the rest of your time here in Melbourne.

The city takes on a different character at night — shadowy alleyways, raucous bars, and excited theatre-goers. It’s with this backdrop that you’ll explore a city coming to life.
Duck and weave through the crowds as you find yourself in three unique holes-in-the-wall from a cheeky standing bite. This is not your typical, sit-down-and-wait-an-hour-for-your-food walking tour. No, this experience will have you pushing crowds aside to find that perfect greasy pizza joint in the back of a dive bar, having your guide help you translate the Mandarin menu from a dumping house, and exploring a restaurant that is gritty and real, not overly polished and overpriced.
