1806 is a classy establishment about all things cocktails.
The list of cocktails available is historically correct, following a time line over the past two hundred years.
This establishment is named after the year 1806 when the word ‘cocktail’ was first defined in any form of media – or so you learn from the literature in this burlesque-style salon. Set in a converted theatre, sink into a comfy old leather sofa and flick through the cocktail bible of 200 years of new- and old-world concoctions.

100% deserving of its popularity, 1806 was a divine highlight of our evening. The drinks were perfect, the share plate generous, the staff extraordinarily friendly and accommodating. Despite being a swanky and popular venue, we were greeted with down to earth and generous hospitality that is so not the norm at such venues. I recommend this bar so much and would return in a heartbeat.
I like this place, loved reading the history of cocktails but found it hard to read in the diim lights which add to the atmosphere but just isn't good for the eyes. I would prefer if they offered smaller sizes like a shot glass so you can try the drink to see if you like it first before forking out $15+ for a drink just to find out you don't like it
A great place if youre in the mood for a classy cocktail and some conversation amongst even classier friends.
Very old timey with wooden floors and leather seats and couches, truly reminding you of the rich heritage of Melbourne.
Ask the staff for the drink in the tin can, defiantly one of the best drinks I've ever had! They are sure to know what you are talking about!
