Baby Driver

  • Bar
  • Restaurant

Hidden above Beneath Driver Lane, Baby Driver is a vinyl-fuelled jazz and funk bar bringing deep grooves, crafted cocktails, and rotating kitchen takeovers to one of Melbourne’s iconic laneways.

With moody lighting and a warm, intimate atmosphere, the space feels both laid-back and electric, spinning 1970s jazz, rare groove, and soul on vinyl every Wednesday to Saturday. Behind the bar, you’ll find international wines, bold low-intervention cocktails, and rotating menus from guest chefs—currently Lady T, serving vibrant Latin American street food Wednesday to Saturday.

Drop in for Golden Hour (4pm-6pm), stay for vinyl and cocktails into the night, or book the dinner and show experience, featuring a chef’s menu at Baby Driver followed by live blues downstairs at Beneath Driver Lane — this is your new go-to for soulful nights, great hospitality, and a rotating lineup of flavour, funk, and fun.
