A hidden bar. Just go the the address and ask the staff member behind the counter. Although it doesn't look like a bar from the shopfront, there's a lot going on behind the scenes. I will say no more.

I like to call this place the hub of Melbourne's street culture. Every now and then, they hold events that gather local talent to perform - from hip hop rap battles, to R&B open mic, to fashion designer showcases, to DJ battles, and more! They also have great food. I highly recommend their JFK - Japanese Fried Chicken. The beautiful soul who runs the place is Taka. Say hi to her for me!

Don't know why "jail" is spelled as "gaol", but this place is said to be haunted. It's where the infamous Ned Kelly was hanged for murder in 1880. Go for a tour if you dare!
