The Croft Institute

The Place

Spanning three floors, each with unique decor, this themed bar in Chinatown has a fun vibe that will draw you in. Check out the cool Bunsen burners on the first floor "science lab", chill out on the bleachers of the "gymnasium" on the second floor, or dance the night away on the court.

This place worths a visit to see how creepy it is. The music is good. However the cocktails are not good at all. They really need a new drinks menu.

Cool little bar hidden down the end of a graffiti covered laneway. Full disclosure, i think i was a little old for this place - seemed to be geared towards the early 20's set, but we were welcomed in regardless. Staff were nice, and drinks well priced, however (as mentioned) the cocktails were a little sweeter than i would have expected, probably due to their target demographic. All good, still enjoyed the interesting space filled with old science gear and cool music.

The place is just as advertised, although a bit darker than in the picture. The bartender knew his stuff and was pretty helpful. Don't trust the websites that say that there's a faje fridge that you have to go through to get to the bar ,there is however a winding alleyway that you need to traverse. The cocktails aren't served IN a syringe but with one( to spray them into your mouth, shall the mood strike you).

A small cool bar that is really hard to find. Once you find the correct ally go to the end. Some of the special drinks come with a large syringe for shots. Bring your chemistry friends to explain all the apparatus on display.
