Members are in cool and competent hands in this world-class speakeasy—once you find it, of course. Head down Melbourne’s Malthouse Lane and step back in time in Eau de Vie. It’s cosy, it’s intimate and there’s loads of whisky on offer—450 whiskies and spirits, no less.

And if that’s not enough to twist your dram-holding arm, did we mention there’s a Whisky Room? Hidden behind a bookcase door, this secret room holds private whisky lockers (you can buy a bottle and stash it for later) and hard-to-find drams.

Eau de Vie’s kitchen serves the elegant classics—think cheese, charcuterie and tapas, but they also offer five-course whiskey and cocktail degustation dinner for the hungrier punter.
