24 Moons

inally, a good excuse to head down AC/DC Lane again! 24 Moons is a collaboration of experienced industry minds as much as it’s a cocktail bar.

After a climb up the stairs to the old Alley Bar site you’ll find a rich, dark interior thronging with those in the know and perfectly balanced tunes. The fit out is modern, in a time when modern isn’t necessarily in vogue; it’s tempered by great dark-wood floors, low lighting and nature elements (no, the forest sounds aren’t in your head) sprinkled through the space, which really takes the edge off. Great, comfy furniture to suit most group sizes is a winner too, allowing easy accommodation for two, or 20... depending on need.

What really sets it apart, however, is the bar. It’s staffed by some notorious yet well-respected cocktail folk who deliver drinks with aplomb and intent, without any of that unnecessary pedestal attitude – you know, the kind that at some bars leaves you feeling like maybe you should just stay home drinking goon out of a mug.

Great drinks, served well in a great space. Sounds tough, eh?

And why the moniker 24 Moons? Well they’re only open for 24 moon cycles which makes that... 21 left. Don’t wait too long to check it out!

Where: AC/DC Lane (off Flinders Lane), (03) 9650 0035
