This site aims to expose the secrets of the vibrant Melbourne night life to residents and visitors. We strive to provide reviews of bars and restaurants only after we have been to them and experienced the place for ourselves.
We have mapped the bars and restaurants reviewed so as to take the hassle out of finding the venue and to assist in the successful planning of a night out. Also we offer some Chasers to help plan a night out where we suggest several places to experience in an evening.
Finally, please feel free to leave a comment or email us and challenge our reviews or to tell us about somewhere new. We are always looking for new places to experience.

Quaff, gulp or guzzle you way through the streets of Melbourne drinking the perfect drink, a Martini.

This month: Changes to the AlleyLife team, Cabbie-oke, Melbourne Food and Wine festival, closure of the tote, Vindaloo against violence and some new bars to explore.
