Tinseltown: The Christmas Speakeasy "Where Every Day Is Christmas."

Tinseltown: The Christmas Speakeasy "Where Every Day Is Christmas."
Presented by the Viral Group. The District Docklands (Level 2 - Inside Potion Putt), 23 - 37 Star Crescent, Docklands, Melbourne. Until 30 December 2024.

This is an immersive experience that indulges and overwhelms all the senses with everything Christmas. The festive season is brought magically and emphatically to life in this pop-up Christmas themed bar. The cavernous lounge is replete with every imaginable Christmas decoration, trinket and Santa related iconography.

The ambience is created through very rich and extravagant decorations and creates a very welcoming place to sit and lounge around. You can find teddy bears, elves, reindeer, baubles, fairy lights and snowmen and much, much, more in this Santa fantasy land. Santa himself retains his mystery and allure and never actually appears in Tinseltown but his presence is unequivocal and frequently alluded to this realm. 

The 90-minute experience includes various Christmas themed games, music and challenges. Your knowledge of Santa culture will be rigorously put to the test. This generates a lot of jolly fun and laughter. Tinseltown also offers a variety of delicious Christmas themed cocktails to help transform the normally sweet and sugar-coated tradition into a more adult experience. At Tinseltown you will be met by Santa’s effervescent elves who gleefully shepherd you through the joyful experience. Tinseltown allows you to find your inner child and compels you to completely surrender yourself to all the glitter and spangle associated with this time of year. This is an experience deliberately and decidedly tailored for die-hard fans of Christmas and all its associated festivities.
