Overview
Get soused with the ghosts of some of Victoria’s most notorious criminals, at the latest prison pop-up at the old Melbourne Gaol. It’s the third such behind-bars shindig in as many months at the historic slammer, following on from evenings of vodka and gin appreciation in February and March. Completing the alcoholic triple threat, this time it’s all about the whisky.
Tickets to the pop-up bar cost $40 and include a pair of complimentary drinks. Choose from three different whiskies, either straight up or shaken into a cocktail. You can also stick with beer or wine, if you're not one with the spirits. An extra $15 (reduced to $10 if you book online) gets you into a 45-minute whisky masterclass. And if you're feeling peckish, food will also be available courtesy of Hoy Pinoy Filipino BBQ — not your average prison food.
