What's your bar's specialty drink?
Sour Warhead cocktail, featuring Absolut, Apple Puckers, Blue Curacao, pineapple juice and lime juice. Tastes of sour/tart apple flavours with a quick finish and extra sweet and sourness when sipped from the rim.
What drink turns you off?
Anything boring. Even our classics (like the vodka raspberry) have a distinctly '60s twist and all feature house-made ingredients.

What makes your bar different?
The entire bar is an homage to the golden age of 1960s Australia. The entire dining menu is a tribute to this era, with items such as a giant parma breaded with cornflakes, or calamari with dehydrated Vegemite salt. The drinks menu doesn't disappoint on this front either, with cocktails such as Fairy Bread and Mint Slice to give you a taste of your (slightly more adult) childhood!
Who will I meet at your bar?
Being so close to Melbourne Uni, The Slum is unquestionably a favourite among students. The cheap drinks don't hurt that reputation, either! The Slum is also a popular place for many to start out a night, as our rooftop is open Thursday–Saturday from 5pm, with DJs spinning only the most swingin' tracks from 7pm 'til late on a Friday night. Lunch times often see busy corporates taking advantage of our $10 lunch specials.
Best hangover cure?
Our mega parma (bigger than your head... unless you have a really big head) goes down a treat.
