Plan your visitAbout Dikstein's Corner Bar
Tucked on the corner of Bank Place, this Little Collins nook channels a European cafe-bar with thin-crust Italian pizzas and an unscripted wine board. Walk up to the bar counter to see what bottles are uncorked—staff pour rotating varieties by the glass without a rigid printed list. Regulars grab kerbside laneway tables for prime people-watching over a crisp Dikstein’s draught, or head upstairs when quiet conversation calls. Come Monday, the kitchen turns out half-price wood-fired rounds, from punchy puttanesca to blue cheese with rocket served piping hot on round wooden boards.
- Unscripted open-bottle wine pours: Skip static wine lists; bar staff rotate open bottles right on the counter for custom pours by the glass.
- Half-price Monday pizzas: Mondays feature 50% off the kitchen's thin-crust, wood-fired pizzas like puttanesca and blue cheese rocket.
- Laneway seating and quiet upstairs tables: Grab kerbside tables along Bank Place or retreat to the upstairs room for quieter table talk.

Rotating Wine-by-the-Glass Discoveries

they don’t have a standard wine menu, you have to walk on up and see what they have open at the time - so it’s always changing - and you’d get to try something you normally wouldn’t otherwise.

Bruce European-Style Laneway Setting
Outdoor seating along the alleyway evokes the leisurely pace and charm of an open-air European destination.
The outside lane definitely has a European feel about it which really makes you forget you're in Melbourne.
Patricia Leung Flexible Multi-Level Seating Spaces
The multi-level setup pairs active sidewalk tables with a quieter upstairs mezzanine suitable for business discussions or casual board games.
