and past more bins, then turn right down towards the lonely dead-end, with graffiti surrounding you on all sides. There’s a little door: welcome to The Croft Institute. Decked out like a school science laboratory complete with benches, beakers and Bunsen burners, this place is as cool as it gets. The toilets on the first floor have an eerie “derelict hospital” feel about them, but they all fit the theme. Get a special cocktail in a syringe or one of their many beers. But you also have to check out upstairs, which is designed as a school gym complete with a basketball hoop, gymnastic rings and ladders on the walls, and even bleachers to sit on. The bar appears to have grass growing on it, and with the DJ dropping phat beats, the vibe is pretty mad. Best to check it out on a busy night.

E.D.V – The sister bar to Eau De Vie in Sydney (which previously won The World’s Best New Bar at Tales Of The Cocktail in New Orleans). Again, if you don’t know this bar exists, you’ll never ever find it. In Malthouse Lane off Flinders Lane and behind a heavy door, E.D.V is an intimate speakeasy with a strong emphasis on creative mixology. Both classic and signature cocktails are wonderful here and fire, liquid nitrogen, flavoured smoke and alcoholic jellies are commonplace ingredients. Make sure you order the “Peanut Butter Jelly Time” if you’re a Family Guy fan! a.bc
