The Valiant

The Valiant is a first-floor cocktail bar on Little Collins Street in Melbourne's CBD, known for its moody blue lighting and an upbeat, R&B-leaning soundtrack. It is set up for celebrations, with bottomless cocktail and food packages that make it a popular pick for birthdays, hens' nights and work parties.

Expect attentive table service, shareable bites such as fresh focaccia, and a room that keeps the conversation going before it turns into a dance floor later in the night. The bar opens Thursday to Saturday and bookings are recommended for groups.
