What To Expect

MELTours

Join an experienced guide on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night and taste a great cocktail in one of Melbourne’s hidden bars. Many of the best bars in the city of Melbourne are easily overlooked if you don’t already know where they are! A plain doorway could lead to a venue with a great vibe and wonderful drinks. Let your local guide show you the many bars that many people often walk past.Discover the hidden bar culture with one of our experienced guides as we visit a number of venues around the city centre where you will be treated to 2 complimentary, fabulous cocktails. During the course of the evening we will visit up to 10-15 bars with our guides usually selecting venues during the tour depending on the group. Groups are a specialty – the more the merrier, your guide can show your members, employees or friends a side of Melbourne that many miss – with the best size being 9 where we have access to all of the city center venues.
