QT Hotel: Rooftop bar
Question 1: How do I get to the ROOFTOP Bar? Once inside the QT Hotel’s grand doors, there’s a fancy reception area – BUT you need to take the lift to Level 11 to get to the bar.. AND for that, you’ll need a FOB (or access to a FOB) So far, two methods have…

Pizza Pizza Pizza
Popped into Pizza Pizza Pizza during a HIDDEN BARS CRAWL, and it certainly was TUCKED away – Perceived from the street, you’d SWEAR you were about to interrupt someone cooking dinner in their kitchen – PRO TIP: walk past old mate, turn LEFT, and PUSH through a curtain door – PRESTO! a bar & restaurant,…

The Old Bar
OK, back to regular programming: Bar Hopping 🍻 The Old Bar has been ON my radar for ages — one of those much-loved Melbourne haunts with a proper cult following. On a spur-of-the-moment scroll: I saw one of my favourite bands, Square, were playing… ONE Uber to Fitzroy – and OFF I went By 10pm…

Nick & Nora’s
NORMALLY I go to a bar to chillax and UNWIND. However, this Nick & Nora’s visit was Part 3 of a “Walking Whisky Tour” around Melbourne, so I was on a little ADVENTURE! It was the LAST stop on the tour of whisky bars (sooo… several whiskies in). Entrance tip: ignore the Collins Street address!…

Molly Rose

Lulie Tavern

Kent Street
KEEN to check out Kent Street bar, thanks to a HOT TIP from a Brisbanite! I ended up discovering the MOST delicious hazy Nectarine beer (and I didn’t even know that was a thing!) OUTSIDE: It’s a bustling Fitzroy BAR (kicking myself I didn’t get a pic of the SIGN, too busy filming myself –…

Insignia on Flinders
I walked in and IMMEDIATELY did a double take – What is THAT behind the BAR?! It’s a FISH TANK! What a delightful surprise Insignia on Flinders! IT IS right across the road from the Melbourne Aquarium, so that checks. AND if you look bottom right of this PIC – there’s a grey GROUPER fish…

Goldilocks
GATHER ROUND, and let me tell you a tale of a CHICK who walked into a bar… Once upon an evening, she set off in search of the PERFECT bar> The first place she found was nearly empty, the music barely a whisper, and the bartender indifferent. One sip of her drink, and she knew—”Too…

Evie’s Disco Diner
EVEN THO I was on my way to another bar > when I changed trams: Evie’s Disco Diner was RIGHT THERE. AND with a name like that: I HAD TO POP IN! BLUE and RAINBOW on the outside – PINK and DISCO on the inside!! I love it already. Up to the bar for ONE…
