Hihuo - Kurunjang

Secret bars are my favourite place to hang out in Melbourne. This place is fab as you ring the secret door bell and walk into a very posh bar.<br/ <br/ We enjoyed a round of lemon gin cocktail (but I can't remember the name as I can't find an updated menu) after dinner.<br/ <br/ Lovely ambience and very relaxing atmosphere.

I stopped in here after dinner. Actually it took some searching out. It is quite hidden. There is no sign. There is just a door on the south side of the street on Flinders Lane with a call button. If you round the corner on to Spring Street, you'll see a bottle shop. Hihou is right above the bottle shop (I can't remember the name).<br/ <br/ Once you get in, the atmosphere is fantastic. Very subdued and calming. The windows also give you a great view over the Treasury Gardens.<br/ <br/ The food is supposed to be very good but I only had a cocktail. I had the EDO Murasaki (Japanese whiskey, Campari, Averna, yuzu, lychee syrup and shiso). It was a fantastic cocktail. Spirit forward (which I wanted) and quite balanced. It was also served over a beautiful hand carved ice cube. <br/ <br/ I look forward to going back!

Absolutely in love with this place, it is a hidden bar in CBD, very nice and relaxing area, fantastic atmosphere, and great service, very nice collection of sake, Japanese whisky and wine.

Amazing hidden place that indeed surprised me and my friend. We ordered cocktails and they tasted great. Good service, good environment.

Hihou is secluded, secretive, and a world on its own. No flashy and fancy signages to even point out that this place even exist. You have to press a door bell and someone will answer the door to bring you into this place. It is like entering the closet of Narnia and into a world on its own when you step into this bar. <br/ <br/ I love the exclusivity of this bar. You get to have a cosy catch up with friends in a relaxed atmosphere.
