The Melbourne hidden bar culture is a unique part of Australia’s cultural capital. The difficult thing is just that – they’re hidden! This city makes you work to find its best bits, which is why you’ll find some of the best bars behind other venues, underneath laneways, or tucked into repurposed spaces.
Join your experienced guide and uncover four of these fascinating venues in one afternoon, and learn what makes each one special over a drink (or four!). Speak with talented bartenders during this small-group experience, making sure to chat with them about what kinds of drinks you like to personalise your Melbourne Hidden Bars Tour even more.
Drinks packages
Avoid having to open your wallet on tour by purchasing your drinks in advance. The drinks package entitles the guest to 4 drinks total (cocktails, beer, wine, and house spirits) one at each of our four venues.
Basic Ticket — No drinks included, you purchase at full menu prices at the bar
Premium Drinks Package — 4 x premium cocktails/ beer/wine/spirits
Note — Our guides are only authorised to purchase one drink per person per venue for drinks package. If you’re late or leave early, you won’t be eligible for a refund for unconsumed drinks.

Ian was an excellent guide and extremely knowledgeable. Knows how to tell a good story too!
The tour took us right through Melbourne, explaining its origins and evolution as we went.
100% recommended.
I can't recommend these tours enough - especially if you're new to Melbourne.
Book it now - you won't be disappointed! :-)
Top tip - book this tour for the first day of your stay in Melbourne so you have plenty of time to revisit on the amazing places to eat and drink!
The night I booked, I was the only person - Hugo kindly offered me the following day with a group, a refund or a unique private tour. Due to schedule, I was unable to rebook so went for the personal tour.
Hugo was very knowledgeable and great company for the evening. He tailored the tour so l had the best experience ever. We were welcomed at all restaurants and bars visited which enriched the evening.
At the end of the evening, Hugo marked off all the places we'd visited on a map so I was able to return at my leisure.
This tour is a definite must whilst in Melbourne and my favourite one of them all. Thank you

The reality of the tour was that we basically did a speed walk in order to keep up with our tour guide. The guide even got peeved with me for stopping to try and get some photos.
The coffee stop only offered only two types of coffee and no food option. And then at the end of the tour when we stopped at the pub, the only beer option included was a lager. If we wanted anything different it was on us to purchase it.
Little streets, good moments, historic tour
I was very happy to discover Melbourne by this way
Would definitely recommend to all.
Just be wary asking Hugo to take a photo as he loves to play jokes on you… seriously, he is a very funny tour guide and great value!
We stopped off at each bar to grab a drink and enjoy the space before moving on. Each bar/stop on the tour had a completely different vibe and je nais se quios about it so there is something for everyone - or something completely new to try.
True to their word, we never would have found or known about the incredible bars we visited without the tour. It definitely lives up to its name of “secret Laneway bars”.
A great tour for visitors and people new to the city ???? Great company, delicious drinks and a peppering of Melbourne history - what more could you ask for?
