Why you’ll love this…
  • Learn about Melbourne’s history with a drink in hand
  • Try local beers, wines and cocktails at four unique Melbourne establishments known only to local Melburnians
  • Join a small group of maximum 12 people or choose the private option for a more intimate experience with your friends
What to expect

Starting at Sir William Clarke Memorial, this tour includes stops at four iconic drinking Melbourne institutions: though they may change, you'll visit a variety of favourite local watering holes, including a classic craft beer establishment, a laneway bar, a hidden speakeasy and a rooftop bar.

The craft beer scene is exploding in Melbourne right now yet beer has always had a rich history in the city. Here’s where you’ll learn about the standard pour sizes of Victorian beers and how beer nearly led to all alcohol being banned during the gold rush. Melbourne has some of the best mixologists around, but most of them are hidden in tiny, hidden cocktail bars that survive on word of mouth alone. Rooftop bars are a favourite place for Melbournians to gather and not just in summer. During winter, some rooftops add a marquee and heaters and carry on regardless. You’ll visit one of the most eclectic rooftop bars in the city.

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. Still thirsty? Ask your guide for recommendations!

The group tour accommodates up to 12 people, but you can choose the private option for a fun drinking adventure with your friends.

What to remember

Not allowed:

  • Travellers under 18 years of age are not permitted to join this tour

Extra fees to be paid on-site:

  • Drinks and food are not included. Since everyone’s drinking preferences and tolerances are different, rather than include drinks, the local operator wants to keep their 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

Know in advance:

  • Your guide may ask to collect your contact information at the start of the tour, for contact tracing purposes only
  • The itinerary and routes may be modified to avoid crowds and public transport
  • The private tour requires a minimum group size of two travelers. A solo traveler may still book this private experience but will be charged the base rate for two travelers
