An excellent whisky bar with an abundant selection and huge cocktail list so you will easily be able to find something new to try. The bar staff are highly knowledgeable if you need a recommendation.
I highly recommend the mixology class at 1806. Matt was a phenomenal teacher and really knew his stuff. I learned a lot and made some pretty delicious cocktails . Perfect date night idea
Ask for Daniel Warren the Australian representer at the Diplomático World Tournament 2013. With his cocktail Diplomats rose , he got recognized as worlds 3rd best bartender ! Read more
Ambience , history(Tikki and Johns Theatre restaurant ) , service , comfort, drinks ????☝️???????? ???? ???? ???? ???? Date Night ????????
Amazing hidden treasure in Melbourne! Try the Aviation , guarantee a very smooth flight. Great atmosphere and staff are very professional. love it!
The understudy is excellent and totally worth a visit! Crazy drinks paired with delicious food
Must try place for cocktail lovers. They have enough ranges for all kinds. Love everything here!!
Great era-themed cocktail joint, they make a damn fine mint julep
Expensive but a perfectly made drink in a vintage-inspired space
Any cocktail is good. Try the Aviation for the ladies. Guys just get the old fashioned or the Negroni
Angels milk - An Australian Sake with Frangelico , almond (Orgeat syrup ) and cream dusted off with cinnamon . Goes down like... Well , like angels milk .
Get past the sullen door girl and ur on a winner. Good cocktails and the waiters were great. Shame about the door girl really.
And THAT is why you wanna order a Black Blazer (and get a seat with a view of the bar !)
A colossal menu of cocktails . If in doubt, ask the super friendly staff for a suggestion!
Friendly service and particularly skilful mixologists
Best by far if u like sweeter drinks: hot buttered mulled wine , margarita custard (hot) and blazing prince Charlie - these are my favorites!
The BEST cocktail bar in Melbourne! Staff are amazing and such a great atmosphere
Their house rules specifically state that you're not allowed to lick their staff .
Adorable and cute little cocktail bar , however, a little expensive .
Very extensive cocktail list . I would say the place feels like it's trying a bit too hard...?
I love this place. Great ambiance, great staff , great cocktails .
Ask for a Corpse Reviver No.2; you won’t be disappointed.
A must-visit for the cocktail fan. Menu tours cocktails from the 18th century onwards.
Great service, great drinks and great atmosphere. It's a bit of a shame the style leaves and the smell begins as you get closer to the toilets .
Great old fashioned , gorgeous interior as well
very informative and helpful waitress . excellent cocktails .
Try the Rum Old Fashioned !! Great mix of rum , sugar and lemon !!
The "Blazer " series of drinks are just perfect for cold, wet Melbourne nights with hot, wet, Melbourne company.
Put the lengthy and wordy menu to one side and ask one of the expert bar staff for advice.
Try the hot margarita custard . It's desert and a boozy cocktail all in one!
A+++ would drink here again
Cocktails !
Try a flaming cocktail if that's your thing.
Fantastic. Nice cocktails , nice atmosphere.
Best Old Fashioned in Melbourne!

An extensive and fine cocktail list made by great bar staff .
Get a Martinez, you will not regret it
One of the two best cocktail bars we went to.
Tried my girlfriend's Angel's Milk cocktail (very nice!). Also there's a downstairs small function room.
The aviation cocktail rocks!!
Amazing whiskey sours , definitely try the Clover Club and Aviation .
Recommend you visit on a Thursday night to watch the high jinx
Ladies! Cilantro straberry is an alcoholic pop candy ! Love it!
South Sides are to die for.
Strawberry shrub for something different. Not at all what you'd expect.
The bartenders here are awesome, great service and knowledgeable .
The Xanadu on the 4Square Specials list is orangey goodness!
Aviation , Tom Collins and clover club are to die for!
Cocktail city ! Yummy, but expensive - enjoy!
Very unique cocktails.. Trust the bartender! - Kylie Burton
Love the decor, cocktails and funky staff! Must do when you are in Melbourne. Reasonable prices as well for a rooftop bar. - Yondering Monkeys
The roof top bar is a real hidden gem. The view is framed by a floodlit Parliament House. Absolutely stunning. Open air but still comfortable in June with gas heaters. - Shawn Callahan
Rooftop bar with views of the Princess Theatre and Parliament. Cocktails, beer and wine on the best rooftop in the city. Very busy with nice weather but great in the winter too with lots of heaters. - James Ridenour
The lamb fillet souvlaki and green tea with mango are delish! Try it! - Chich S
