Forgot history textbooks and boring guidebooks, we’ll undercover the real characters and hidden history of Melbourne /Naarm (alongside a hidden bar or two!) that have made marvellous Melbourne what it is today. Experience the city’s unique bar scene with a local guide and have a drink at three amazing venues. By the end of this tour, you’ll discover that history really is better with booze (as if there was ever any doubt)!
  • Discover hidden bars known only to local Melburnians
  • Experience Melbourne’s unique bar scene with a friendly local English-speaking guide
  • Learn about Melbourne’s history with a drink in-hand
  • Get tips on what else to see, do and eat during your stay
  • Try drinks at three unique Melbourne establishments (drinks non included in the tour price)
  • Because everyone’s drinking preferences and tolerances are different, rather than include drinks, we keep our tour price low and allow you to purchase drinks as you go. Most establishments accept bank cards, but there is occasionally a minimum spend. You may wish to bring cash if you want to avoid this.
  • Drinks, food
  • Tips/gratuities for your guide

  • 20 Spring St, East Melbourne VIC 3002, Australia
    We begin next to the Sir William Clarke Memorial next to the Old Treasury Building. A symbolic area of Melbourne and home to our Parliament. The order of the venues may change, but together we will visit a variety of our favourite local watering holes, these may include a classic craft beer establishment, a laneway bar, a hidden speakeasy. Everyone has their favourite drink but you’ll be encouraged to try something different on this tour. Many of Melbourne’s most popular bars are in tiny, hidden laneways and survive on word of mouth alone. Melbourne’s bar scene is ever-changing, so one of the bars will be chosen by your guide on the day, depending on the group’s desires, the weather, and what is trending in Melbourne at the time. If you’re still thirsty by the end of the tour, don’t forget to ask your local guide for some more recommendations, so you won’t have to worry about a dry mouth for the rest of your stay in Melbourne.

We were lucky to have Tristan as a guide for this fun & interesting tour. He was knowledgeable & introduced us to some historic characters we were not familiar with. We enjoyed the Gin distillery, The Containers bar & the mystery & experience of the Berlin Bar. Finished off in China Town, perfectly timed for a early dinner. Highly recommend this tour & our guide Tristan
