Stop 5: Revolver Upstairs
It sometimes seems inevitable; an evening on Chapel St leads to a night in Revolver - one of Melbourne’s largest and most (in)famous clubs. With music playing from night until early in the morning several days later, ‘Revs’ is a great way to both cap…
Stop 4: Three Monkeys + Anchor Place
Three monkeys is the place to go when you’re getting toward the peak of your night. A fun venue that is often playing reggae long into the night, Monkeys is something of an underrated gem, but always rewarding to those who head inside. If you are…
Stop 3: La La Land + Artist's Lane
After the excitement of Jungle Boy, and the colour of Duke Street, it might be time to slow up a bit. For this, head to La La Land on Chapel. A quieter, more relaxed venue than the others, La La is a place to relax, catch up and unwind with a drink…
Stop 2: Boston Sub + Duke Street
Our second bar stop is as hidden away as the alleyways that this tour is all about. Heading into the understated “Boston Sub” and asking to be let into Jungle Boy will grant you access to the surreptitious speakeasy. A Chapel Street staple, and a…
Stop 1: Mothersmilk + Windsor Station
Our tour starts at Mothersmilk, by the Windsor railway station. Mothers is a staple location for a relaxed start to an evening, with great cocktails, wine and beer on tap. From here, we head to the Northern platform of the Windsor railway station,…
Stop 1
The first stop on the tour is a collaboration project between the artists Home, Askem, Sage, OG23 and a few others. This is one of the newest pieces in the area and was only completed earlier this year. There generally tends to be a low turnover rate…
"All Platforms", Melbourne Central
To be considered for commission, a work of street art must reveal technical skill and be aesthetically pleasing. For street art to fly with a governing body, such as the City Council, it should also be the antithesis of its unruly and criminal…
Melbourne Artists' Supplies, Little La Trobe Street
Melbourne Artists’ Supplies, an art supply store hidden in the Little La Trobe Street laneway, is completely decked out in street art. Every surface of the storefront’s exterior is covered in whimsical and geometrical designs, looking far more…
Kaffeine Columns, Melbourne Central
Kaffeine has done several commissioned works for Melbourne Central, her latest being the columns on the ground level of the shopping mall. The columns feature whimsical characters—a fox on one, and a boy giving a deer/cow/unidentifiable animal a…
Lucy Lucy and Slicer Collab., Melbourne Central
One level up from the painted train platform is another commissioned work by Lucy Lucy and Slicer. Both artists are a part of the Melbourne-based Awol Crew, with Slicer being the founder of the group. This is not the first commissioned work that Lucy…
