The Everleigh
150 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy VIC 3065, Australia
The Everleigh is one of Melbourne's most well-loved, and most oft-awarded cocktail bars. That's a big statement, in a city regarded as one that knows its way around a cocktail, and one that knows how to have a good time - but it’s also an accurate one. The main elegant speakeasy-style bar is a haven for the mixology nerd, boasting an extensive menu coupled with incredibly knowledgeable staff. Those who stare at a list of spirits with a blank look and racing pulse though, need not fret; warm smiles and wise suggestions point you in the right direction. Next door to Everleigh one finds the Elk Room, the original bar's younger sibling. While certainly cut from the same sophisticated cloth as The Everleigh, the Elk Room is rather more English gentleman or officer's lounge room than a speakeasy bar, with booths replaced by sofas and dark corners. There are conspicuously more elk on the walls than over at The Everleigh, but the younger sibling bears the same impeccable menu behind the bar. The Everleigh is found along Gertrude Street, near the corner of Napier Street, up a flight of stairs. That's along the 86 tram line and is a mere stone's throw from the city, as well as Brunswick Street's nightlife.
