Cần Quan Tâm
We begin next to the Sir William Clarke Memorial next to the Old Treasury Building. A symbolic area of Melbourne and home to our Parliament. The order of the venues may change, but together we will visit a variety of our favourite local watering holes, these may include a classic craft beer establishment, a laneway bar, a hidden speakeasy. Everyone has their favourite drink but you’ll be encouraged to try something different on this tour. Many of Melbourne’s most popular bars are in tiny, hidden laneways and survive on word of mouth alone. Melbourne’s bar scene is ever-changing, so one of the bars will be chosen by your guide on the day, depending on the group’s desires, the weather, and what is trending in Melbourne at the time. If you’re still thirsty by the end of the tour, don’t forget to ask your local guide for some more recommendations, so you won’t have to worry about a dry mouth for the rest of your stay in Melbourne.
Depending on the weather, your drinking preferences and what's open on the day, your guide will choose 3 amazing bars to take you to. One of our favourites is a hidden Cocktail bar behind an historic church

The bars were fabulous and all with a different but great vibe. Our guide provided interesting historical information about Melbourne and kept it very interesting.

5.00My partner and I were lucky enough to have Anna as our guide. I have lived near Melbourne all my life and my partner has just immigrated here from Europe, we don't know Melbourne so well, so this was a perfect opportunity to learn a little more. We immediately got along well with Anna and found we had a lot in common, the tour ended up feeling like more of a catch up with an old friend. Anna showed us places that we may not have discovered on our own, over lovely drinks and conversation. I highly recommend this tour, and also Anna as a guide. Thank you so much.
