Eau De Vie Melbourne

Absolutely fantastic place once we managed to find it!! The atmosphere was amazing and the cocktails sooo good. We had seats at the bar which was great to watch the drinks being made. Will definitely come back again next time we're in Melbourne!!

Love this place for their drinks and atmosphere! It's always exciting opening up their cocktail menu as there are so many options to choose from. I really like the way they are grouped too.
Would highly recommend the Yuzu mule with rum if you're looking for something sweet and refreshing.

What an awesome experience. Took my husband here for a birthday treat. Harrison was our waiter for the evening and he was amazing, some people are perfect for the hospitality industry and take pride in their service and Harrison is definitely one of them. Cocktails were beyond good and food was delicious. We had a little hiccup with our timings to see a show (our fault) and the staff were amazingly hospitable by allowing us to come back after our show to finish our food selection. I would have no hesitation in recommending this bar as an awesome hidden gem in Melbournes city.

We had a great fun visit to this awesome little speakeasy bar with its impressive selection of amazing cocktails. The bar staff are very talented and put on a fantastic show while preparing and pouring the drinks. Unfortunately only had time for two but would like to go back and try some of the others. Five stars! 🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹

Amazing Cocktails! Every single one was mouth watering 🥰👌

Quite pricey almost $30 a cocktail after taxes and surcharges.

Otherwise great

One of the best dinner and cocktail experiences we've ever had!

We did Eau de Vie Melbourne’s Shared Cocktail Degustation.

Eau De Vie is a bar straight out of 1920's prohibition America. From the moment you walk in (once you locate the secret entrance 😉) you are taken back to a much forgotten era.

Once inside we were shown into the Library, home to their degustation table, for the cocktail degustation experience.

It was made all the more enjoyable by our great host, Brody, who was exceptional, along with the amazing degustation delights created by the very talented chefs, and of course all the excellently paired cocktails, which helped top off what was a fantastic foodie and drinkies experience.

Each cocktail was revealed in a different way, as well as how they were concocted before our eyes and then delivered to us.

We were also lucky to be joined by seven other fun and friendly people.

Very highly recommended for any lovers of great food and of course, cocktails!

Amazing! Next level cocktails and service.. yes it’s pricey compared to most cocktails but they are not like most cocktails.. they go beyond! We couldn’t help ourselves and doubled up and Eau De Vie will be a must stop when we visit Melbourne each time and can’t wait to be back.

The whole atmosphere was divine. Definitely a hidden gem and the drinks were all unique. It's so much more than a bar, it's an experience

Had a great night in Melbourne @Eau De Vie 1920,s Cocktail bar ! for our 30th Anniversary with dinner & Cocktails 🤗 Beautiful experience & was well looked after all night by Lawson , he is a credit to you 🤙🏻 THANKYOU again 💞 Excellent night out

Just felt like my mate was taking me down an alley to be mugged, but thankfully it was another amazing gem in the crown of hidden bars in Melbourne.

EDV, is well hidden, but not their reputation apparently. Although new to me, when I mention that I've been there, everyone says ..'how good are the cocktails!!' .. And they were darn fine.

What I loved the most was our waitress, who was really a, err let's say, a cocktail sommelier! Her knowledge and joi de vivre in explaining them was infectious (Alice, I think her name was).

The cocktails themselves were an adventure.. from fancy liquid nitrogenny concoctions to birch burnt/infused creations, for me, it was a cocktail carnival. Don't get me wrong, the tastes were probably too complex for this lager lad, but I'd go again just for the fun of it.
If only they'd let zip in?! (Yep... Zippy Spam ahead in the photo's. Zip not happy he wasnt allowed to come... )

Hidden gem with great atmosphere and highly talented bartenders mixing a deep selection of perfectly balanced and inspired cocktails. Well worth the additional couple of $ for each drink!

A Melbourne institution. It’s been a longtime between drinks here for me and i’m happy to say it continues to uphold its formidable reputation as one the best Martini’s in town. This place is all about the theatre of drinking cocktails and does it to a very high standard. Finding its entrance is part of its fun

In love with this place! It was full house when we arrived and it was very loud so not the best for people who are sensory sensitive. Definitely not a quiet bar at all. Make sure you reserve well ahead of time to secure a spot. We were so happy we were seated at the bar watching bartenders in action! Food was excellent and so well priced. Will definitely return - Our bartender was amazing and entire experience was faultless

Fantastic speakeasy if you can find it, really cool vibes, staff were lovely, cocktails were phenomenal. Definitely recommend booking in advance. Would 100% recommend and come back again.

We had a great experience at EDV! The cocktails were delicious and theatrical! We'll be back next time we're in Melbourne.

One of my favourite cocktail bar in Melbourne!
The cocktails are unbelievably good, the staff are very helpful and friendly and the atmosphere is always spot on

Great hidden bar - spacious and comfortable with a cosy feel. Excellent friendly and helpful service!

I’ve had an amazing evening with my husband here. Nice and innovative cocktails. My favourite cocktail bar in Melbourne at all the time 🍹

It took us some time to find the entrance but it was worth it. Nice cozy place, little pricey but definitely to recommend if you want to try some special drinks. 🍸 very friendly staff.

This is one of my favourite speakeasy cocktail bars in Melbourne! Highly recommend to all to try. They recently changed their menu so will have to come a few more times soon to taste their new range of cocktails.
Interior is beautiful and they have friendly and knowledgeable staff
