Bored of the same ol' things to do? We know the feeling. Sometimes we need to let out that pent-up energy and throw an axe or two; or tuck into a burger and a beer on a Hitachi steel train carriage. Whether it's an affordable bar or adrenaline-pumping activity, we have put together a list of fun activities in Melbourne for adults.

Gather your pals, better half or go solo with CityDays. This quirky, immersive activity will have everyone running across town in a bid to unravel clues and solve puzzles. Better yet, this is also a cool opportunity to see some of the city's gorgeous landmarks.
Experience a world of contraband, corruption and cocktails at Alcotraz Melbourne: Cell Block Five-Nine-Two, a prison-themed bar on Elizabeth Street. This immersive experience involves wearing an orange jumpsuit, before being locked up in a cell.
Look out for the warden as you hide contraband, using the crooked guards to your advantage. Once you get it through, the inmate bartenders will create four creative cocktails for you.
Taking Bookings
Flight Club Melbourne is the go-to destination for an unforgettable social darts experience. Blending the nostalgic charm of darts with modern, high-tech dartboards and a vibrant fairground-inspired design, it's all about fun, competition, and socializing.
Enjoy multiplayer mini-games that score themselves, leaving you to concentrate on your aim. When hunger strikes, choose from a variety of sharing plates, delicious pizzas, and refreshing cocktails, or indulge in a mega afternoon tea. The bar also offers a carefully curated collection of local and international beers, wines, and spirits.
Ever eaten a burger on a Hitachi steel train carriage? If you're looking cool things to do in Melbourne, head to Easey's restaurant, which overlooks the city's skyline for American-style food on retro wooden tables.
If you're looking for fun things to do in Melbourne at night, Sub Club has you covered. Head to their three rooms and enjoy female-led DJ sets with spacy visuals, and be prepared to dance all night to the best bass, electro, and techno tunes.
Ever eaten in a life-sized Chinese lantern? Ishizuka is elevating fine dining with a seasonal menu to be enjoyed in a cocoon-like structure. With only 16 seats, all located around a single central counter, expect a unusual eating experience.
Did somebody say cheap drinks, always? The Shady Lady did. This affordable bar in Melbourne is known for its quirky neon signs and salad bowls doubling up as tasselled lampshades. They also have a pretty snazzy cocktail menu too.
