Your final stop is presented by New Gold Mountain, where you’ll be taken back in time to the heydays of the Victorian Gold Rush.
This unique bar in Chinatown is spread over two levels and features old-world Shanghai glamour in an opium-den-like interior, where the passionate bartenders serve up innovative and timeless cocktails.
About New Gold Mountain
Throughout the great Victorian Gold Rush the Chinese would refer to Australia as ‘New Gold Mountain’ and Little Bourke Street, also known as Chinatown became a hub for Chinese Entrepreneurs. This rich history is what creates such intrigue and ambiance to this hidden gem in the laneways of Melbourne.
