Caretaker's Cottage
This Melbourne bar is home to some of the world's best cocktails.
Overview
Little Lonsdale Street's Caretaker's Cottage has regularly made The World's 50 Best Bars list — coming in at number 23 in 2023 — and is one of our favourite drinking dens in the city.
Hailing from bartenders and owners Rob Libecans, Ryan Nordics and Matt Stirling, Caretaker's Cottage is known for being a subtle temple to great drinks. You're not going to find overworked and overly theatric bevs cross the bar here. But you will find the classics done brilliantly, and signature sips made with great care. It's even known for having one of Melbourne's coldest martinis — if that tickles your fancy — and serves a mean Guinness.
