How to Plan a Nightout in Melbourne -One for the night owls!

 In Melbourne, bedtime is reserved for infants, and the city's late-night offers are just too tempting to pass up. Many excellent late-night restaurants, cafés, and clubs have arisen in recent years, which means that the only thing that can bring your night to a close is the sun rising in the morning. Here's what you need to know to make the most of a city that is becoming more open 24 hours a day – whether you're looking for a late-night beverage and tango, or supper and movie after midnight.

Watching The Room here at Cinema Nova

It has been a tradition at the north side's favourite indie theatre since 2010 to show Tommy Wiseau's cult classic The Room on the 1st Saturday of the month. It is a cult movie, that really is bad but brilliant at the same time. There are a variety of eccentric rituals that may be observed at a screening of Rocky Horror Picture Show; some of them include hurling spoons at the screens and drinking 'Scotchka' (scotch whiskey). 

Start with a great drink to get the party started 

In order to get the night started right, you should try one of Black Pearl's famed cocktail creations. Remain downstairs and peruse the drink menu cards, or take a buzzer to the Attic, a hidden cocktail bar located above that serves appetisers and traditional cocktails in a more intimate setting. Also, make sure you stay at South Yarra hotels the likes of Oaks Melbourne South Yarra Suites, which are centrally located so that you can easily head to places at night where transport will not be an issue. 

At a karaoke club, you may let loose your best Adele imitation 

KBOX is the best place to sing karaoke in the world. You may reserve your own room, purchase food and beverages throughout the night, and sing along to songs with your friends. Our recommendation: engage in a head-to-head competition to see who can provide the finest (or most probably the worst, there's a reason why you guys haven't hit the world stage yet) renditions of guilty pleasure tunes. Don't allow your shaky high notes to get in the way of your success. 

Indulge yourself in a delicious Thai meal at midnight. 

Begin your evening with a few drinks and a Thai feast at Magic Mountain Saloon, which serves both light meals and heartier fare with equal proficiency. After supper, stick around because the DJs will start spinning songs and the bar will really take off. Credit for having a fantastic drink (and mocktail!) selection.

Take pleasure in some old-world charm 

The Melbourne Supper Club was a pioneer in the late-night eating scene, offering wine plus French-inspired sipping appetisers on Chesterfield sofas into the wee hours of the morning long before other establishments dared to do so. 

In the evening, retire to your favourite dive bar. 

Everybody knows that a night at Heartbreakers is an assured good time. Some combination of the laid-back demeanour of the bar staff, the excellent music choices on the jukebox, as well as the pool table, is responsible for this feeling of comfort. If all you want to do is hang out with your friends and speak over a few beers and bottled drinks, this dingy pub is the place to do it.

Allow ramen to resurrect you from death 

Instead of a post-club kebab, go to Shujinko for a ramen bowl at 4 a.m. A bowl of hearty soup and noodles (don't forget to include the chashu pork!) is sure to revive your tired body after an evening spent on the dance floor. You'll be grateful to us the following day.
