Golden Monkey

A stalwart of Melbourne's cocktail scene, Golden Monkey is an opulently styled opium den, sans opium, dedicated to great drinks, service and education through enlightenment. The education comes courtesy of the monthly Rum Club, which showcases an astounding variety of rums and rum cocktails. Attentive table service means drinks are efficiently ferried through a maze of screens that form intimate spaces. The cocktail list boasts a host of tiki drinks utilising the aforementioned rare and exotic rums, though there are plenty of classics for those who can't abide the stuff. Ascend to street level for 'Asian tapas'.
