Our Take
Melbourne's 950-Whisky Basement Bar
Boilermaker House is Melbourne's most respected whisky bar — 950+ Scotch, Irish, Japanese, American, and Australian whiskeys. The basement bar is dimly lit with leather banquettes and a long mahogany bar. The boilermaker (whisky paired with beer) is the bar's namesake.
The bartenders are whisky specialists and walk through the regions, ages, and styles before pouring. Cash and card friendly. Walk-in friendly weekday early evenings.
Pair with Whisky & Alement for a complete Melbourne whisky evening.
What to Order

Bourbon shot paired with house craft beer. The bar's namesake ritual.
Macallan 18
Premium Highland sherried Scotch. The Boilermaker House standard.
Yamazaki 12
Japanese single malt. The bar's most-poured.
Whisky Flight
Three rotating whiskies from different regions. The way to use the bar.
