Join our Hidden Bars & History Tour and you’ll drink at 3 of the best hidden bars in Melbourne. You’ll explore the city’s iconic laneways. And along the way, hear rebellious stories handpicked from Melbourne’s past.

Melbourne is home to several hidden bars; like the one behind a bookcase, or the one through a fridge door. But finding them can be near impossible. Throughout the evening, our Hidden Bars & History Tour will guide you to 3 of the city’s best secret bars. You’ll drink at these magical dens, just like during the prohibition. Plus, your awesome guide will show you more hidden gems along the way. You’ll finish with a better understanding of Melbourne’s secret drinking scene.

We’re a pretty rebellious bunch, and across the evening you’ll hear more tales handpicked from Melbourne’s past.Including stories about:

The city’s most notorious mistress
