Your Membership Just Received New Benefits!
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society Australia is proud to announce an official partnership with The Kelvin Club, a private club with over 150 years of rich history in Melbourne located at 14-30 Melbourne Place, Melbourne VIC 3000. With this partnership, all SMWS Australia members are now automatically Affiliate Members of the Kelvin Club, an additional benefit exclusive to Society members valued at $400. This means you will have full access to the club, its facilities, dining room, hair salon, and, of course, the Society drams that are now at the bar.
Nestled in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, the Kelvin Club is a rustic space soaked in tradition, a place where “the old meets the new”; one of the most progressive and inclusive clubs in Melbourne. Equipped with a private dining space, bar, in-house hair salon, and full-size billiards tables, it’s the perfect place to relax with a Society dram and catch-up with some friends, or get some work done if you’re looking for a change of scenery from the office.
As SMWS members, you will have limited access to the facilities including the bar, dining room, and in-house barber, not to mention entry to the club itself for whenever you need a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. All you have to do is show your SMWS membership card to gain entry.
