Bard's Apothecary

  • Entertainment
  • Bar

Tucked away in a Melbourne laneway, Bard's Apothecary is a friendly inner-city bar.

An oasis and absolute treasure, the space retains the 1990s fit-out designed by Six Degrees, the award-winning architects behind Meyers Place, the oldest laneway bar in Melbourne.

Descend the stairs to an intimate performance space that hosts a program of events including theatre, music and comedy.
