Tips from the community
The Croft Institute in Melbourne is a quirky speakeasy that's part science lab, part cocktail bar. Enter through an unassuming door and make your way past beakers, lab equipment, and even an old dentist's chair to find yourself in a dimly lit space, complete with a pool table and vintage posters. Sip on creative cocktails with names like "The Bunsen Burner" and "The Penicillin," or try one of their house-made infusions for a unique drinking experience.
