Toast Melbourne's hidden bars on a new tour

Hidden tour

Melbourne is justly famous for its stylish and eclectic bar scene – but how do you find the coolest of them, hidden as they are down secret stairwells, laneways and behind velvet curtains? Hidden Bars of Melbourne has the answer…

Locals Gath Adams and Kym Anderson take groups of party-goers through Melbourne's labyrinth of alleys and laneways to uncover some of the city's most exciting and exclusive bars.

Their Hidden Bars of Melbourne walking tours run every Thursday night, winding through the city streets to the hottest new drinking dens, where punters can drink and snack as they go. The bars on the tour change weekly, and are chosen from a rotating list of up to 12 different locations.

The tour costs $35 per person, which includes two complimentary drinks and tapas. Officially, the tour lasts around four hours and finishes at 11pm – though they have been known to kick on to the early hours of the morning!

Tours meet at the corner of Bourke and Swanston streets at The Three Men statue at 7pm every Thursday. Bookings can be made via the web at www.hiddenbarsofmelbourne.com or on 0411 041 800.
