Loch & Key

Loch & Key is a hidden gem tucked behind a bookcase on a rickety staircase above Melbourne's oldest pub, Captain Melville, offering dimly lit nooks with gentlemen's club charm and a spacious balcony terrace overlooking the cityscape. While the cocktail menu is modest, talented bartenders craft custom creations to suit any preference, alongside boutique beers and wines for simpler tastes. The signature pork belly slider sourced from downstairs provides delicious bar food. Open until 5:00 am nightly and 7:00 am on Saturdays, this intimate venue on Franklin Street combines historic ambiance with contemporary cocktail expertise.
