Bar Ampere

Late-night cravings in the CBD, sorted. A trendy Fitzroy vibe injected straight into a Russell Place alleyway. Bar Ampere is an unapologetically cool late-night bar slinging modern Australian bites and serious libations long after the sun dips. Industry night-owls and agave purists flock here for the staggering backbar—think deep cuts of vermouth and proper absinthe drips for a late-night *l'heure verte*. Grab a stool. Let the stellar, highly personable bar team guide you through mezcal-spiked grapefruit spritzes or a flawless Negroni. The beats are funky; the art-meets-bar culture is palpable. And the food? Pure comfort. Midnight diners obsess over the ridiculously tender steak tartare scooped up with olive-oil-drenched sourdough, gooey raclette, and fries that shatter on the outside while staying potato-puree creamy in the center. Unpretentious, effortlessly electric, and pouring till the early hours.
