Begin at the Sir William Clarke Memorial near the Old Treasury Building, then visit three unique bars chosen by your guide—ranging from craft beer spots to hidden speakeasies, depending on the day.

Duration: 45 mins

Your guide selects three great bars based on the weather, your drink preferences, and what’s open that day. One favorite stop is a hidden cocktail bar tucked behind a historic church.

Duration: 45 mins

Once a lively red‑light district filled with brothels, opium dens, and gambling rooms, this area reveals Melbourne’s wild past—told through stories that are far more fun than anything from school.
