Hidden down a quiet unassuming laneway (like all great Melbourne venues) Baroq House is a 3 level club oozing elegance and style. The music starts 80's and becomes house closer to 10pm. Entry is free before 8pm, $15 after 8pm.
Happy hour from 5 to 8pm gives you $5 basics.

Dress Code: Dress to impress - a dress for ladies and a nice pants+shirt combination for men. No sneakers, no torn denim.

After spending the day all about town, this was an excellent way to top off the evening, coming into such a beautiful theatre to see a wonderful play/musical. The building is getting close to 100 years old, and is just gorgeous. We saw "Wicked" there, my daughter wanting to hear it in an Aussie accent -- but no one had an accent!
The show was terrific, the interior beautiful, the evening unforgettable. Very clever were the cosmo glasses, which glowed different colors to go along with the emerald setting of the play. Could not go home without one!

Dress Code: Some were definitely dressed up; we, not coming over the ocean prepared for the event, were more in the jeans attire, and were not alone.

From the outside this bar, next to a lovely, hip Italian restaurant looks nothing more than an old shop. It used to be a record shop so that probably explains it!! But go inside for a warm welcome from a mainly locals crowd who all seem to know each other but without cliqueness you can get in a lot of places.

There is a lovely warm fire in winter and the bar has that low light homely feel to it with the staff very friendly yet quiet and unassuming. There is a nice little smokey bar to sit round or table areas downstairs and upstairs with cute formica top tables giving it a kitsch feel. Upstairs feels like you are in a house party with homely furniture and even a bath remaining in one of the toilets.

The owner is still the same guy who had it as a record shop and it's clear that this place thrives on music as there are a couple of turntables. But dont expect loud music as it's turned down allowing good conversation with all sorts of people. Music can be so varied as well. Ive heard anything from Northern Soul, Jazz, Soul, Reggae, Blues, Indie played there.

Drinking is a little different from your average Aussie pub with a few selected beers on draft ranging from John Squires to Kirin and a large selection of bottled ranging from Coopers to Stella. The wine list is quite big with often boutique-type wines on offer. Some great choices to be had. They have a barrista also and a list of cocktails. All drinks are reasonably prices.

This is the sort of place you find accidentally but go every night til it closes. Go and see Nick the barman's huge beard!!

Dress Code: Erm no

Little French morning/ lunch/ nightspot

Cute little venue run by crazy French expats.

This little cafe falls into the category of Eating & Drinking, Nightclub and Live Music.

The coffee is good and the food, divine.

Dress Code: No dress code.

Melbourne has some of the best nightlife in the world, from bars and pubs to dance clubs to ethnic nightclubs. The only problem is that it is constantly changing - some clubs lose their appeal, places close down, new ones take their place, and other clubs never die. The best thing you can do if you are looking for a place to go is ask someone who lives there.

The website below has a list of countless Melbourne clubs and bars.

Dress Code: Dress codes vary from anything to dress casual, but even with a large group of friends, we have been turned away because one person was wearing jeans or one of the girls with us was wearing open faced shoes.

This is probably the best place for a beer in Melbourne. It certainly is my choice! The beers served here taste excellent - Hoegaarden, Stella Artois, Leffe, plus the local brews. But I recommend sticking with the imported stuff.

Sevice is great - glasses are given a wash before serving and sprayed with a jet washer, the glass is filled and the head is removed, all very professional.

The location is something special too - old bluestone building with authentic wood paneling and a beautiful tree filled beer garden with it's own bar.

Backroom and Frontroom of Revolver offer a great night out, almost any night of the week.

Good crowd, friendly staff and definitely very funky music. Different music, different nights. Future Jazz n' Funk, Disco, House... its all pretty damn good. And great dancing too. No cheesy stuff.

Mostly just Melbournians at this club, which is a great thing, because they are definitely good fun to party with!

You might not plan to stay out all night, but if you go to Revolver, don't be surprised if you do...

Check out their website for whats on, what night. Starts pretty late (get there no earlier than 11pm), usually about $10 to get in.
