In 2015, New York's best hidden bar Please Don't Tell took over the Attic at the Black Pearl in Melbourne. This week, another hidden gem of Manhattan is heading to Fitzroy, this time for a pop-up at the Elk Room at the Everleigh on Gertrude Street.

It won't be a huge leap for bartender Sam Ross, who is Melbourne-born and founded the much-missed Brunswick Street venue Ginger with his sister and mother before going on to take New York by storm with the slender Eldridge Street speakeasy.

This Wednesday, February 10, from 9pm-midnight, Ross, along with fellow Attaboy bartenders Michael McIlroy and Otis Florence will take over the Everleigh's rifle-and-peacock-decorated Elk Room to serve Attaboy drinks including the Alimony Campo de Encanto (pisco, cynar, fino sherry and salt).

The event is open to the public and is un-ticketed, so it's first in, best dressed. Take note, however, that it's a cash bar.

Attaboy at the Elk Room, 150-156 Gertrude St, Fitzroy, Wed Feb 10, 9pm-midnight.
