Bar Humbug 2019

Overview

Melburnians are getting a nightmarish dose of Christmas spirit this festive season as Bar Humbug pops-up along North Melbourne's Queensberry Street this December.

This is not your regular PG Christmas-themed installation — it's more like a bar from Bad Santa. Christmas tunes will be on loop as you wander through a range of themed rooms. You can sit on Santa's lap in the Grotty Christmas Grotto, kiss your loved one (or a stranger) in the Mistletoe Corner and sip on 'naughty' and 'nice' cocktails from the bar.

Expect lots of (bad) singing along to Mariah Carey — as well as lots of tinsel, candy canes and shiny Christmas paper chains. Most importantly, there will be a full bar and dress-ups to take your Christmas debauchery up a notch.

The bar will be open Thursday and Friday nights from 5pm, and from midday every Saturday and Sunday up until the weekend before Christmas. The bar is hosting a heap of Christmas functions, though — so best to check that it's not closed for one before you head along.

If that's not enough festivity for you, you can also head along to the Bottomless Bubbles and Baubles on Saturday, December 14. For $59, you'll get two hours of endless prosecco and beers as well as all-you-can-eat pizza. These tickets will go quick, so snag one ASAP over here.
