Absolutely brilliant night out! Hayden was a fun and interesting host! We were escorted to four quirky historic bars we would never have found otherwise. We went for the premium drinks package ( do it). It was our first night in Melbourne, so it gave us a good baring of the cities centre and encourage us to explore the laneways we might have otherwise missed completely. A delicious choice of cocktails, spirits, beer or wine with historic details of Melbourne’s interesting past! Enjoy! Depot also do a Free 3 hour walking tour of Melbourne that we shall have to save for our next trip back to Melbourne.Douglas_R
