Hidden Melbourne Laneway Bar Tour

Melbourne 3 hours

Melbourne is one of the world’s best bar city’s and on this tour we’ll show you why. 

The Melbourne hidden bar culture is a unique part of Australia's cultural capital. The difficult thing is just that they are hidden! This city makes you work to find its best bits, which is why you'll find some of the best bars behind other venues, underneath laneways, or tucked into repurposed spaces.

Join your experienced guide and uncover four of these fascinating venues in one afternoon, and learn what makes each one special over a drink (or four!). Speak with talented bartenders during this small-group experience, making sure to chat with them about what kinds of drinks you like to personalise your Melbourne Hidden Bars Tour even more.

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.
