About this tour
A 3–4 hour guided pub crawl through Melbourne's CBD hitting four bars with skip-the-line entry and a complimentary shot at each venue. You'll move between pubs in a group, play games for prizes, and meet other travellers while local guides share tips on the city's nightlife. It's a straightforward social night out, not a cultural tour dressed up as one.
Highlights
- Free entry and skip-the-line wristband at all 4 venues
- Four complimentary shots included throughout the night
- Local guides who've lived in Melbourne long-term
- Games with prizes at each stop
- Starts at WAX Music Lounge, Flinders Street
- Designed to connect travellers and groups
- City Centre location with nearby public transport
What to expect
You'll meet your guides and fellow crawlers at WAX Music Lounge on Flinders Street, where you'll get your wristband and first shot. From there, the group moves through three more bars in the CBD over the next few hours, stopping to play games and socially compete for prizes. Your guides will offer recommendations for keeping the night going beyond the crawl itself. The pace is social rather than rushed — expect to spend 30–45 minutes at each venue.

Good to know
This suits anyone after a straightforward night out with other backpackers and tourists; no special interests or fitness required. Be aware: you're drinking four shots on an empty stomach unless you eat beforehand, crowds will be heaviest Thursday–Saturday nights, and the crawl sticks to CBD bars so you won't explore neighbourhood pubs. Public transport is nearby if you need it. Group size isn't specified; expect a mix of solo travellers and small groups. Not a quiet evening.
