Alcotraz Melbourne Alcotraz Melbourne: Cell Block Five-Nine-Two

One of the quirkiest bars in the city, Alcotraz Melbourne: Cell Block Five-Nine-Two can be found on Elizabeth Street. This immersive experience is themed around prisons, so prepare to don an orange jumpsuit and be locked in a cell.

You'll be tasked with hiding contraband to swap for four personalised cocktails, and there are interactive actors throughout. Be sure to look out for the warden though.

  • £180 - £360

Step into Flight Club Melbourne, the ultimate venue where traditional darts meets the future. Featuring high-tech dartboards and an eye-catching, fairground-themed interior, it's a unique space to play, relax, and have fun.

Experience exciting, multiplayer games with fast-paced rounds that score automatically - giving you more time to focus on your aim. Fuel up with a menu full of sharable plates, mouthwatering pizzas, and everything from zesty cocktails to an indulgent afternoon tea. Plus, the bar offers a diverse range of local and international drinks, including beers, wines, and spirits.

Bad Frankie

Celebrating the best of Australian-sourced bottles, Bad Frankie is a Fitzroy bar that prides itself on its varied options. When you're not on gin from Victoria, try a selection of whisky from Queensland, even tucking in to a tasting session/masterclass if the night takes you.
