Highlights
  • Melbourne Laneways - Whether you’re a Melbourne local or here for a visit, there’s a good chance you know that we’re famous for our hidden bars. The only problem with hidden bars is that they’re just that - hidden! Come on a tour with us to find out where they are.

Hidden in an alley, at the top of a dark staircase or behind a nondescript door, we’ll show you the very best hidden bars Melbourne has to offer!

No bar tour would be complete without a drink so we’re throwing in your choice of a free cocktail up to the value of $25 as well as some free bar food such as pizza, wings or a charcuterie board.

If all that isn’t enough, at the end of the tour we’ll even give you a treasure map of several other hidden bars in Melbourne so you can continue your night if you choose.

Our regular tours are a maximum of 8 guests so you’ll never be lost in the crowd.

If you want to add dinner into your night out we can tell you the approximate location of our last bar and even recommend places nearby for you to book.

What's Included
  • Complimentary snacks provided
  • One free cocktail per guest
What's Not Included
  • Drinks are available at bar prices and can be paid for as you go!
Additional Information

Some of Melbourne’s secret bars are so clandestinely tucked away that even local inhabitants aren’t privy to their locations!

Add in a complimentary cocktail at your preferred bar, and you’re all set for an unparalleled night out!

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.
