The Global Drinker — World Bar Guide
Bahama Gold
Melbourne, Australia
When a venue boasts a Klipsch Soundsystem, you know it takes its music very seriously. Bahama Gold selects its tunes from a notable vinyl collection, which keeps this unassuming bar jumping. Stop in for a bottle (it also functions as a bottle shop), a cocktail and a snack. Beers on tap are local and change often. The wine selection is abundant and low intervention. To shop by the bottle, walk through the bar to the fridges and shelves in the back and pluck something straight off the wall. Once paid for, you're given appropriately formatted wine glasses, which is one of the considered touches that makes Bahama Gold a local favourite.
