Life's Too Short Bar

Housed in 160-year-old bluestone cellars on the edge of the CBD sits arguably Melbourne's most romantic hidden bar. It features an unparalleled back-vintage wine list (with 28 wines by the glass) and a 32-strong cocktail list with many unique creations to explore. There are also 13 eclectic craft brews and an extensive all-day chef-crafted dining menu that changes weekly and caters for almost every dietary need.

Owners Sigrid and Antony (the Chef and the Somm) have run pop-up degustation dinners and wine events for years, but the pandemic allowed them to put their travel money into a 'booze change' where they could share their passion for food, wine and cocktail matching with others.

It's a little bit European and a whole lotta deliciousness, so whether you're looking for date-night romance, all-day grazing with friends, or a more formal dinner or degustation, Life's Too Short has you covered. Private functions and events also available.
