Molluscs are the main event at cocktail bar Pearl Diver, which serves some of Australia’s best varieties all kinds of ways (baked with gruyere mornay, anyone?). The best bang for your buck is between 5pm and 7pm from Tuesday to Friday, when oysters are going for the shell-shocking price of $2 each.
$5 bubbles at Nick & Nora’s
If you’re looking for a special spot in Parramatta, head to the sky-high cocktail and Champagne bar, Nick & Nora’s, on the 26th floor of V by Crown Parramatta. And if you go between Wednesday and Friday, 5-6pm, you can score a $5 glass of bubbles.
Mjølner is an underground Viking and Norse-themed bar and restaurant in Melbourne CBD where the cutlery is literal weaponry, the whisky menu is longer than your most-played Steam library, and the vibes are unbeatable.
Taking inspiration from the speakeasies of Prohibition America, its moody interior even includes a whiskey room hidden behind a bookcase. “It’s intimate. I like to sit in the little nooks or at the bar.”
It was an exciting privilege to participate in the Melbourne Walking Whisky Tour launch – Melbourne bar culture at its finest! Our host was icon Greg Sanderson, the Speakeasy Group co-founder and the OG who turned the city’s scene upside down with Eau De Vie.
“The lavish venue offers sweeping views of the Blue Mountains and the city, with different spaces inside like a “date space” with a private cigar balcony.”
