MELBOURNE’S BAR SECRETS REVEALED!
Edited by Madelyn Miller
Melbourne has long been gathering a reputation in Australia as the
place to party – but the wide selection of bars and pubs has created one
big problem – choosing where to go!
Bar Secrets Melbourne
is the perfect solution; a slick deck of cards profiling 52 of the
City’s hippest and newest bars and pubs. The ultimate guide to partying
in the City –there’s one bar for every week of the year!
Created by Michelle Matthews, known for the popular series of
Shopping Secrets books, Bar Secrets takes you on a journey
from relaxed pubs through to slick cocktail bars, cutting edge
nightclubs and everything in between.
I met
Michelle on my last trip to Melbourne. And she is truly a shopping diva.
But I guess this girl can drink, too because this is another wonderful
way to discover the insider side of Melbourne.
Now I
have to go back to check out the bars.
Melbourne is one of those cities I could imagine living in—it has
everything I like.
Plus
people like Michelle who will give you the secret sources and currently
in places.
Bar Secrets Melbourne
is the perfect reference guide to what’s hot in the City – glossy photos
give you a sneak peak into the vibe of the venue, while the detailed map
on the reverse side will ensure that you can easily navigate your way
through Melbourne’s network of laneways.
Shuffle the cards and take off for a surprising night in the City.
Discover the science lab chic of The Croft Institute or the Japanese
techno influence of Robot; the slick architect’s playground of F4 or the
Victorian elegance of Syracuse.
Every
corner of the City is covered and so is every taste. Head to Southgate
for a quiet drink at BearBrass, Spring Street for a $2,000 magnum of
Krug at the Melbourne Supper Club, Queen Street for a cheeky cocktail at
Chaise Lounge or Lygon Street for a wine at Jimmy Watson’s.
Bar Secrets
Melbourne was partly funded by the City of Melbourne as part of its
campaign to market the City as the ultimate destination to shop, dine
and party.
“Bar
Secrets Melbourne proves that Melbourne really does have the
best bars and nightlife offer in Australia. The City is home to hundreds
of
bars, taverns, pubs and nightclubs.
Bar Secrets Melbourne captures the absolute best of these,” said Lord
Mayor John So.
This
guide to watering holes was written by Michelle and a team of
experienced writers and bar goers: Loz Blain, Mark Brownley, Ian
Gilbert, Guy Grossbard, Steve Hassall, Bella Katz and Marinella Padula.
