Additional Information

Melbourne’s hidden bars are so well hidden that even many locals don’t know where to find them! Join us to discover where the best ones are with guaranteed bookings at 3 and list of others with information on how to get in so that you can continue your night out.

Come alone or come with friends. Your tour host loves meeting new people and loves telling you about the places you visit and pointing out other hidden or little known facts during the short stroll from bar to bar.

We don’t get any commissions from the bars we visit, so you know we’re always going to take you to the places that we think you’ll love the most - the same places we would take our friends to!

Finger food is included, but drinks can be paid for at the bars which helps us keep the price of the tour low.

A great way to spend a Friday night out in Melbourne - Lucas was friendly and full information, we would have never found theses hidden gems. This has no age limit, I would rebook this tour again that’s for sure. Our food tasting was excellent and drinks delicious. Anne from the Sunshine Coast

Bloody awesome. - We went in this tour on Saturday and our guide Tamara was awesome. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the area that we were walking and the building in which we visited. The bars really were hidden. All of the bars had wonderful atmosphere and great drinks. Have already recommended to friends.

Loving laneways of Melbourne - What a great evening Ethan, our guide was excellent! The bars were fantastic! Highly recommended. Visited 3 bars purchased a drink each one. Had great pizza at the 2nd one. And cocktail at the last. One of our group kept buying Bailey shots at the first bar. Thanks Zac. Set us up nicely for the tour. Thanks Ethan for being a great tour guide.

Hidden bars, cocktails and a fun night out! - We really enjoyed this tour. The meet up location was easy to find and the bars were all very close. The guide was very polite, informative and friendly. The three bars we visited were all very different and definitely hidden. My only criticism was that for the tour cost I feel more food and perhaps another cocktail should be included. I did like that the guide had inside knowledge and could recommend cocktails. The food that we did receive was delicious. It would've been nice to visit another bar, three was great but four would've been even better. We really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it.

Not recommended - There was nothing special about this excursion. We could have gone to any other bar and been served good drinks and food. We were given what I would call shared taste tester food from only one of the bars. We were starving when we left. At one of the bars we sat in the cold and the other was a lot of steps. To much money to walk in the cold and receive nothing. This is not recommended 😐
