Loch & Key

Looking for that perfect post-shift refuge? Here’s the play. A brilliantly gritty, late-night Melbourne institution. Hospo veterans and CBD night owls constantly pack this upstairs haunt for serious knock-off drinks—served well into the early hours. Forget standard bar snacks. With seasoned chefs Tamara and Dave at the helm, the late-night kitchen fires on all cylinders. Intensely savory meat pies. Crispy cauliflower poppers. A ridiculously good steak sandwich. Head straight out to the fantastic rooftop deck. It's the ultimate perch for sipping a fresh local ale or a masterfully mixed cocktail. The atmosphere? Unapologetically relaxed, reasonably priced, and anchored by legend-status staff like Sean. Just have your physical ID ready at the door—they scan everyone, no exceptions. Unpretentious. Late-night. Absolutely essential.
