When you have to show off the best bars in Melbourne to your international visitor, you take them to 1806. Simply, the best bar hands down in my opinion.

What can I say about this place….

Their menu gives you the history of each drink. Plus it’s worth you watching them make it. That alone is the real joy.

It’s a cozy place – and I haven’t sampled any of their food so this review is purely based on their drink selection. And if you have no idea what you’d like – just ask the wait staff and they will come up with something that you like after they ask a few key questions.

I sampled the Black Blazer – oh lawd it is good. Here is a video of them making it.

The chocolate goodness was too much to handle… in a good way.

The other one I had was their espresso martini. Which is the best by all standard but after the black blazer… it just doesn’t add up.
