Each drink is a masterpiece, carefully crafted using a plethora of delicious and vivacious ingredients that tantalize the taste buds. The creative combinations and meticulous attention to detail in every cocktail truly set this bar apart. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to Bar 1806 for anyone looking to elevate their cocktail experience.

4 months agoMy husband and I attended the Advanced Cocktail Masterclass recently while visiting Melbourne. We had so much fun learning and discussing all things cocktails with Mushi (my sincere apologies for spelling if incorrect). He was engaging, fun, enthusiastic and encouraging throughout the whole experience. We appreciated how he tailored the class to our individual needs (my husband definitely knows more than I do) and this was done in a very considerate way. He was open to answering any questions we had throughout the course. We especially loved the process of having a go at creating our own cocktails. Strongly recommend cocktail hobbyists have a go at their masterclasses, you will not regret it. Thanks heaps Mushi and 1806.

4 months agoReally cute and moody little cocktail bar in a lovely part of Melbourne town. What’s old is new again, ordering a Cosmopolitan and it did not disappoint. I used to drink these at the height of SATC 20 years ago! 🍸 Friendly attentive service. Rather noisy but due to people having no social cues or etiquette anymore, it’s a cocktail pub not a sports bar! Highly recommended will go again!

3 months agoWe’ve been to 1806 numerous times, for the chilled vintage vibes, service, cocktails and snacks. Highly recommended for a chilled evening sipping on some champagne or cocktails while grazing on some cured meats, cheese, or devouring their cheese and ham toasties.
