1806

🥂 Queen of Hearts 🌕 Light of the Moon 1806 is an award winning bar known by many and unlike any other, a go-to for some of the best cocktails in town. It is named after the year the word “cocktail” was created and they aim to take you back in time, to the golden era. Using only the finest quality spirits and ingredients, the bartenders here will make you anything you can think of - to a tee. Pick a more innovative option, a special or a classic, it’s almost guaranteed you will enjoy it. The menu itself is currently presented as a “Rhythm and Booze” record album, where you can actually use the QR code on it to request a song to be played in the venue. 🎶 The Queen of Hearts was strong yet fruity, a mixture of Vodka, Framboise, Sparkling Wine, Honey, Lemon, Orange and Mandarin Bitters. I loved it, it came decorated with a playing card (not a Queen of Hearts but the thought was cute). We also tried The Light of the Moon which was Moonshine, Peach Liqueur, Spiced Syrup and Lemon. It came topped with cream which wasn’t mentioned and probably should have been, either way it was delicious and reminded us of a cheesecake. 🤤 I loved the themed experience, old fashioned service and moody ambience. Can’t wait to return again and trial some more of their creations.

We had a great evening. The waiter upstairs Sat 17/6 was awesome. Attentive, positive, informative. Our drinks were perfect, particularly the Light of the Moon and the Caribou Lou. I almost never have cocktails I enjoy because they’re often too sweet or give an alcohol burn but these were so drinkable and enjoyable. Worth the price. See you next time :)

I knew this is a bar with really vintage and good vibes. But I didn’t expect they even have the best fries 🍟. The food was so good for a bar. We just couldn’t stop and ate them all. The first highlight moment was how I found their food menu. The QR code was put on a record which you need to pull out from the drink menu. The drinks name were beautiful. I had the light of the moon that night and it’s light and fresh. It’s a place that worth adding to one of your fav go-to.

We didn't have a booking but were lucky to get a table right upfront and menus presented to us quick smart. Everyone that we spoke to genuinely seemed like they loved what they did and that made 1806 such a friendly, welcoming experience. I haven't been here in over 10 years - nostalgic and I'm so grateful that it's absolutely thriving. Thanks for a good night. P.S delicious cocktails.

Wow! So far, the BEST cocktails I’ve gad in Melbourne CBD. The drinks are so well made and smooth and each one has its own unique character. The vibe as you enter is amazing, almost as if its from a different era, from the decor, lighting and music. The staff are so kind and knowledgeable about the menu which is great. Also, they have one of the cleanest toilets 😆. Absolutely recommend this for a Saturday night out with friends or your partner!

One of the highlights of my trip, we went on twice on one night such and mazing place and atmosphere, the staff are very tentative and produce amazing cocktails. My only gripe (very small) I have a whisky trail, 4 whiskeys all peat based, although they where ok they where not high end whiskeys. So spend the same money and go for a great whiskey. I can wait to return.
