As a local Melbourne girl, I love to go out and explore everything my city has to offer. However, some spots are better than others, and so these are my definitive top picks for nightlife in Melbourne.
The best nightclub for the girls and the gays - I feel super safe here, the music is amazing and the vibe is unmatched. Plus, they do free entry if you prebook on Fridays and $5 WAP shots.
Yah Yah's Nightclub, Fitzroy
A goth nightclub with chic cocktails, great tunes (that even a non goth like me knew) and the freedom to dress up? YES PLEASE
Elysium Nightclub, Northcote
So many cosy spots with the coolest decor and a laid-back vibe.
The Sloth Bar, Footscray
Brilliant live music and atmosphere
The Night Cat club, Fitzroy
This upscale bar is hidden behind a rundown storefront, Speakeasy style. Great cocktails at great prices, especially during happy hour.
Lay Low Bar, Seddon
For good live music and an elegant, classy vibe. Also good for dancing.
