The promenade air tastes of salt and warm pavement as the tram bells dim and St Kilda slides from day into neon. You step off at Acland Street where late light clings to beachside bars, live-music venues hum behind brick facades, and your Host—local and opinionated—starts sketching an evening tailored to you.
