Melbourne's labyrinth of inner-city laneways is renown for its vibrant street art but did you know the back alleys are also home to a bustling hidden bar scene?Hole in the wall bars, cocktail bars, wine bars, whiskey bars, lounge bars, rooftop bars and much more are tucked down laneways, found behind nondescript doors, or found obscured upstairs (or downstairs).
Melbourne's love affair with secret speakeasies dates back to the late 19th century when restaurants and householders would sell liquor without a license.To gain access to a secret venue, one would need to knock on the right door. Then with a rattle of coins, a tablecloth would swiftly be removed to reveal a cask. This was called sly grogging.The main attraction of sly grog shops was that they served patrons at all hours, including those who had been refused service elsewhere.
