Night life and bars in Melbourne

Melbourne has lots to offer both during the day as late at night. You'll find a lot of young people around Swanston St in the CBD. This main shopping street remains pretty much lit up at night and yellow taxi's line up to catch the first clients as tourists and locals go out for a drink.

Popular places on Swanston St are Cookie, a nice bar to have drink before heading accross the street for a dance at Lounge. Both bars attract a lot of young people and serve good drinks. At Lounge the DJ will play good mixed electro, hip hop and requests untill around 5 am but if you don't feel like dancing you can just take a seat at the tables on the balcony overlooking Swanston St.

CBD Melbourne at night

You'll find more cafes and late night bars in the alleys that part from Swanston St but the best thing to do is just ask the friendly locals, they know where to send you!

Besides the CBD you'll find a lot of action on South Bank, The Casino and the Melbourne Docklands. While South Bank and The Casino are positioned along the river and require a short walk from the tram stops the Docklands is located at the Melbourne Harbour and trams stop right in front of it.

The Docklands offer a great range of seafood restaurants but Thai, Japanese and Italian are also popular. After your dinner you can get some sweet gelati at Limonetto which is located on the esplanade boardwalk.

Trams will be bring you back home untill around midnight but the best way is to check the schedules at the stops before heading of for dinner.
