The Croft Institute. A boutique bar and club in Melbourne Australia.

So…here’s the basics….

We’re an unusual little cocktail bar tucked at the end of a winding alley in Melbourne’s Chinatown.  It’s an unpretentious kinda place & without a map or a local its a little hard to find!

Spread over three levels, the groundfloor is designed around a massive private collection of science labware & all manner of curious implements that will give you flashbacks to school days of mucking around with stuff most of us really had no clue about!  This level is open all week – plays pretty cool urban grooves & is generally a great hangout for a quiet afterwork wind down or pre-theatre tipple!

The 1st floor houses the departments of male & female hygiene (also known as the loo’s).  Don’t be put off by the stark corridor – you will find them!

The 2nd floor gymnasium complete with real turf on the bar (you can sometimes catch the staff giving it a trim) opens late on Friday & Saturday nights & plays host to many national & international artists on a regular basis.

The crew keep the cocktail list updated and the specials board always hosts a bevy of unusual brews.  If you can’t find what you’re looking for then ask!  The wine list is boutique & the beers are cold.  You won’t find any of that watered down shit here!  There is quite regularly a rotating list of microbrewery beer on offer so keep your eyes peeled.

The space is available for private soiree’s, functions, launches etc etc…
