Bar Americano

A little piece of hidden Melbourne that’s waiting to be discovered. If I’m having a night out in the CBD, the last stop before the trip home is always Bar Americano. Low-key, chill vibes - and often a place your friends and acquaintances are yet to discover. The cocktails are brilliant and the wait staff are always happy to recommend one based on your tastes. Prior to the recent social distancing measures in place, it was a small intimate spot where the bar was standing room only. Now to cater to change, it’s bustling into the alley and is purely, in every sense, Melbourne. I’ll keep coming back again and again, on every night out, that little nightcap that’s become a tradition. I’m so glad to have found this place — and once discovered, everyone else will have too.

Cocktails were decent but not worth the $ paid. e.g. I got a “hot pinacolada” for $31 (it’s that tiny drink in the tall glass in the picture) - it tasted like pineapple juice. Not worth $31 = not happy customer = nice one time visit won’t return again. Expected more from this place after reading the reviews and mentions in many articles online. Have seen much better cocktail bars in Melbourne CBD.
