Murmur Bar
Murmur Bar is secreted away from the main streets of Melbourne in Warburton Lane. Occupying a heritage listed building, this venue used to host a coffee import warehouse over a hundred years ago. Evidence of this previous incarnation exists with the original crane and trapdoor still in place. As a bar, this cosy establishment serves a range of local and imported beers on tap along with wines and cocktails.
Find the dark laneway strewn with bins, look for the little lit-up sign on your left and climb the stairs to this little haven away from the corporate rat race. Rustic, old world charm with Chesterfield lounges, chandeliers, ornate mirrors and wooden floors create the kind of ambience that is convivial to meaningful conversation and extensive cocktail exploration. Just a little murmur, no fanfare but worth ...read more

This place really is a little gem hidden away from the mainstream bars around. They have a great selection of unique and interesting cocktails, not just your standard mix but concoctions of their own making. I'm not really a cocktail person but after trying the burnt orange cocktail I was blown away by how excellent it was and for good reason, they have won awards for their excellent cocktails.
The atmosphere and location is warm and relaxed if not a little small. The obscurity of its location however usually means there's plenty of space to move around until later in the night. Definitely worth a visit if you're keen for great cocktails and a nice chilled place to relax!
This is the only venue in the alley which provides amply real-estate for trendy smokers to loiter and lend their grungy angst to the scene. The bar is a small affair with comfy couches and great dcor which is perfect for the good-looking crowd to drape themselves over. With a beer in hand - I tried draping myself over the armrests of two adjoining couches in the vain attempt to appear nonchalant and one of the in crowd. My success is debatable but I definitely managed to wedge myself to the point of requiring assistance to stand. The selection of beers was a little small but the cocktails were a big hit and the staff were very friendly. The only real minus was the music the selection was good but the volume was ridiculous for such a small venue, it made conversation difficult and felt like they were trying to be a nightclub in a room no bigger than my lounge room. All up it's a great little place to take friends or a perfect venue to meet cute strangers.
