Tiny Tails Bar

Overview

UPDATE Thursday, April 27: Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Tiny Tails Bar pop-up has been pushed back a day and will now run from Friday, April 28–Sunday, April 30. The following has been updated to reflect the change.

What happens when a bunch of Aussie celebs and personalities jump on the cocktail shakers and have a crack at playing bartender? You're about to find out when the Tiny Tails Bar pops up in Federation Square from Thursday, April 27–Sunday, April 30.

The pint-sized bar and its adjoining cocktail lounge are here to shake up your after-work drinks game, serving sips made by a roster of unlikely guest bartenders. The bar itself has room for just one customer at a time — they'll get to chat one-on-one with whoever's on the tins that night while their free drink is being whipped up, and take a few happy snaps, too.

The guest lineup includes Collingwood AFL favourite Mason Cox, MasterChef Australia's Conor Curran, and reality stars-turned-podcast hosts Anna McEvoy and Matt Zukowski. And you needn't worry too much about their bar skills, since they'll be working with Tails' line of ready-to-shake batched cocktails, spanning classics like a whisky sour and a gimlet.

While you'll need to jump online to reserve one of the limited spots at the bar, the pop-up's Main Lounge will be open for walk-ins across all three nights, serving up plenty more free Tails cocktails to thirsty Melburnians.
