Step back in time with Melbourne's last remaining gas lamp on Collins St, outside the Manchester Unity Building. A glimpse of the city's 19th century charm, hidden in plain sight.

ONE NIGHT ONLY!

Get ready for a hauntingly good time this Halloween with our Haunted Bar Tour through Melbourne’s spookiest watering holes. We’ll take you on a spine-tingling journey to three haunted bars, where each stop comes with ghost stories that might just raise the hairs on the back of your neck!

Each person on the tour can claim a free spirit (drink) by sharing their best ghost story—whether it's something you experienced, heard about, or completely made up! Don’t worry, if you’re thirsty for more, additional drinks are available for purchase along the way. Or upgrade to a full drinks package to include a cocktail (or other drink) of your choice at each venue (in addition to your free spirit). We’ll also include finger food at one stop to keep you going as we uncover the eerie secrets of the city.

Join us for a night of spirits, stories, and chilling fun—if you dare!

Experience Melbourne's spookiest bars on the Halloween Haunted Bar Tour. Share ghost stories to earn a drink, hear chilling tales, and enjoy finger food. Tour starts at 7pm.

An old bit of timber might seem like an odd thing to post about, but this is part of an ancient River Red Gum, a type of tree that grew prolifically around what is now an urban area. This is possibly the only sign of that woodland that remains.

Whilst we love the Melbourne we live in, it's important to recognise what was here before, both the landscape and the indigenous people. Our historic building tour not only showcases the oldest buildings in Melbourne and how we've grown, but it also pays tribute to what was sacrificed to get here.

Many of Melbourne's best boutique bars are so well hidden that even locals have trouble finding them! In this video, we take you on a tour of the local bar scene with Show Me Melbourne. We chat with tour guide Josh Stevens about Melbourne's eclectic nightlife and where you can find some truly memorable places to enjoy a bev.🍹

Check out this beauty we just received in the mail! We’re thrilled to add Little Lon Distilling Co's new, limited edition whiskey to our personal collection. We've been talking about this whiskey for months and are so excited to finally get our hands on it.

This isn’t just any whiskey—it’s the first whiskey distilled and aged in the CBD (legally, at least!). Aged in Cell 13 at the Watch House at Old Melbourne Gaol, there were only 500 bottles released in this first batch.

We visit Little Lon regularly on our history tours and hidden bar tours. It’s a special spot in Melbourne, with the distillery located in the last remaining 1870s workers cottage in the city, located at the end of a laneway named after Melbourne's most famous Madame. The history, the ambiance, and now this incredible whiskey make it a must-see.

Swing by and experience Little Lon with us, and maybe even grab a bottle of this fantastic whiskey for yourself!

Such is our dedication to providing exceptional hidden bar tours, owner Jess flew half-way around the world just to do a speakeasy tour in New York. Ariel from did an exceptional job, showing us some amazing bars. Lily's was our favourite, and not just because it bears the same name as one of our Melbourne favourites, !
