Diesel Bar

  • Bar
  • Restaurant

Step through Melbourne's past into one of the city's moodiest, contemporary bar and restaurant.

Situated in the heart of what was once known as the city’s notorious red-light district, Little Lon’s residents have long since moved on: cottages and laneways have been replaced by slick towers and office buildings. But beneath this history, discover an exquisite and contemporary option, with a nod to the past.
