Hidden Bars and Laneway Legends: Melbourne Walking Tour

Not just another bar tour. The untold story of Melbourne, as told through a beer glass. A story of Melbourne unlike any you’ve ever heard. It involves a drunk founder, the world’s greatest beer, barmaids as feminist heroines and the longest, shortest after work drinks you’ve ever encountered. Following months of research scouring Melbourne’s archives and books, we’ve combined the best of Melbourne’s laneway bars with her most interesting (and alcohol-related) stories. From the wine brand that tried to pay athletes in boozy at the Olympic Games to the woman named the “worst and wickedest in the world”, join us for a must do experience of tall tales and delicious tipples.
