Boilermaker House is the second Melbourne venue to be opened by Speakeasy Group, which is behind one of Melbourne's best Speakeasy cocktail bars, Eau de Vie. Opening over a year ago, Boilermaker House has chosen to take a more laid back and rustic feel, which extends to both the decor and the atmosphere with low lighting and bare walls.

Lonsdale Street entrance
Hundreds of whiskeys on display
As you walk into the bar, one of the first things you will notice are the 800+ bottles of whiskey on display on the back bar. But those bottles are not there just for show. With an almost as impressive range of beers rotating on tap, as well as staff with the knowledge to make the most of their massive range, Boilermaker House has cemented itself as one of Melbourne's best bars.
Rustic decor
Fresh oysters $12.00
On Wednesday they offer $1.00 oysters until they run out. Up until recently, I used to try and get to Boilermaker House early every Wednesday that I was available, as I absolutely adore oysters. The oysters come served fresh in a Laphroaig box with lemon wedges and a tangy dressing, and are a great accompaniment to their drinks menu.
Signature venison burger $19.00
In the short year or so that they have been open, Boilermaker House has gained a reputation as one of the best bars in Melbourne. With a solid variety of food, knowledgeable and friendly staff as well as a vast collection of whiskeys and beers it is easy to see why.
