Media highlights

Behind a heavy, unmarked door in tiny Malthouse Lane is Eau-De-Vie. Step into the warmth and get transported back to the speakeasies of the 1920s. The bar staff here are beyond expert, the cocktails are next level. They double-down on the hidden bar idea with their Whisky Room, which is secretly hidden behind a bookcase. This is where all the rare and exclusive whiskies live.

Eau-De-Vie is the OG for Melbourne’s speakeasies, the absolute embodiment of the concept. Flair and flame, smoke and mirrors, it’s the golden age of bartending theatre, baby, and they don’t make ‘em like this anymore.

Eau-De-Vie was once one of those hidden bars that would take you a good chunk of time to find. Now, it’s one of the worst-kept secrets in Melbourne. Eau-De-Vie continues to be one of the busiest cocktail bars in town due to its ability to transport you out of the modern day and into the charms of yesteryear. But it isn’t just the jazzy soundtrack, private booths and staff clad in waistcoats that are the drawcard. Eau-De-Vie backs it up with some serious drinks and also a bit of flair.

Bartenders pull out all the stops – and the liquid nitrogen – at this city speakeasy offering a magical mystery tour of history’s greatest drinks. There is even a whole room dedicated to whisky.
