Cocktail Bars In Melbourne

Looking for a quirky, cocktail-fuelled night out with your friends? Then head to Alcotraz Melbourne: Cell Block Five-Nine-Two. This immersive, prison-themed experience will have you locked up behind bars, while sipping tasty drinks and wearing an orange jumpsuit.

You'll have to hide contraband to be traded for drinks, watching out for the warden and using the corrupt guards to help you out along the way. Once you get it through, the inmate bartenders will whip up four high-quality cocktails, with wine and beer available too.

For cocktail bars in Melbourne CBD, Toff In Town comes out as one of the best. This glam destination is tucked away on Curtain House's second floor, where the evening begins with drinks and Thai food, before the nightly comedy, burlesque, DJs and more take over.

Cocktails in Melbourne don't get much better than at The Shady Lady, where the luxurious teal interior, tasselled lamp shades and neon signs set the tone. As for drinks, you can expect an affordable range, from frozen margs to whisky-laced sips, all while enjoying DJs or karaoke.

Fargo And Co is a rooftop cocktail bar in Melbourne decked out with neon lights, velvet sofas, wall murals and cool hanging seats, alongside an airy outdoor space. There's a choice of coconut margs, lemon meringue pie-flavoured concoctions and more across the fun menu here.

When in need of cocktail bars in Fitzroy, Bad Frankie is coming in hot with its combo of drinks and jaffles. Knowledgeable bartenders will knock Aussie spirits together for heady drinks, or share their know-how across tastings and monthly masterclasses.

Cocktails on a rooftop? State Of Grace offers up just that from its CBD perch. Start by gazing at the sunset on the highest floor, before making your way down to the snug basement space, where antique armchairs and punchy whisky concoctions await.

Boasting grand chandeliers, roaring fireplaces and plush green velvet sofas, Trinket certainly delivers in the looks department. But, how about the cocktails? There's a neat mix of classics and originals here, while the real draw is the Narnia-inspired wardrobe leading to a secret basement bar.
