Curious

Curious is a "hidden bar" at the Flinders Lane hotel W Melbourne with a tasteful nod to Alice in Wonderland. The entrance can be found on Market Street — a glass door in front of a wall adorned with numerous clocks. Step around the wall of clocks and head down the spiral staircase towards a dimly lit underground space. The interior design is impressive and it is definitely the place to see and be seen. Sample their menu of small bites and shared plates.

Bars & Nightlife

Melbourne is awash with bars of all themes and clientele imaginable. Although you are never more than a couple of blocks away from a bar, they are mainly concentrated in central Melbourne, save for a handful in the Fitzroy and St Kilda areas. Rooftops are great for taking advantage of Australia's climate. Seek one out and enjoy the breezy setting with a drink in hand.
