Lay Low Bar

Melbourne


This hidden bar is accessed through Rocco's Deli. Ring the bell and behind the unmarked door is a moodily lit industrial space with a tiled bar and painted murals. Minimal-waste cocktails are made with leftover ingredients from surrounding businesses. The drinks list is as good as it is short, while contrastingly casual food is ordered from nearby Brotherhood Yiros and Grill.
