About Us

Named after the year the word ‘cocktail’ came into lexicon, 1806 is an award-winning bar that has lived and breathed the history of classic cocktails since it first opened in 2007. We pride ourselves on using premium local and world spirits, homemade fixings, the freshest produce available and the highest quality ice, to create the finest cocktail experience imaginable. Our menu features a collection of original creations, house favourites and classics.

Based in the heart of the city’s theatre district, the iconic Melbourne cocktail bar is housed in a historical building on Exhibition Street. Opulent furnishings match the old fashioned service – simply sit down and allow us to take you back in time to the golden era.
