What to expect
Not just another bar tour. The untold story of Melbourne, as told through a beer glass. A story of Melbourne unlike any you’ve ever heard.
It involves a drunk founder, the world’s greatest beer, barmaids as feminist heroines and the longest, shortest after work drinks you’ve ever encountered.
Following months of research scouring Melbourne’s archives and books, we’ve combined the best of Melbourne’s laneway bars with her most interesting (and alcohol-related) stories.
From the wine brand that tried to pay athletes in boozy at the Olympic Games to the woman named the “worst and wickedest in the world”, join us for a must do experience of tall tales and delicious tipples.

At each bar, you can quench your thirst with a cocktail, beer, wine, or soft drinks

Learn about Melbourne's boozy origins, gambling police commissioners, wine parties, the origins of the bar girl, and more

Reservations will be made at 3 hidden bars, and you will be shown others to visit at a later date

Explore Melbourne's laneways on the eastern side, which are home to some of the city's most famous landmarks
