Fad Gallery Bar

  • Bar
  • Cocktail bar

FAD Gallery Bar is a Melbourne institution. A legendary laneway bar and art gallery tucked down a lane just off Little Bourke Street in the heart of Chinatown, Melbourne since 1995.

Equal parts cocktail bar, art gallery and cultural hideaway, FAD is where locals, creatives and everyone in between come to unwind, connect and dance the night away. Music everyone loves, friendly faces, rotating art on the walls and a vibe like nowhere else in Melbourne.

From signature Fireball cocktails, espresso martinis, craft beers and mulled wine to $5 Friday pies and Melbourne's best happy hour – running Wednesday to Saturday 4pm to 7pm – there's always a reason to visit. They regularly hosts art openings and special events and offer a function room for private parties and corporate events.

Owner operated with love since 1995 and always free entry.

Special offer FAD Finals Fever: 28 Aug-26 Sep

Watch the AFL games every Fri & Sat, plus $5 pies & pasties and $10 basic spirits during game time.
