Book NowAbout Heartbreaker
Russell Street grit done right: Heartbreaker pairs rock-and-roll dive energy with craft beer on tap and late-night sustenance. Melburnians make the pilgrimage post-midnight for good reason. Order a boilermaker from the stacked back bar, then grab a slice from Connie’s on the floor. These are proper foldable, New York-style slabs that can easily stand in for half a pie. Between games around the pool table and patrons feeding coins into a classic jukebox stocked with rock albums, bartenders pour drinks fast and keep things remarkably welcoming well past 1 AM.
- Mammoth NY-Style Slices: Oversized, foldable New York-style slices and whole pies served directly inside the bar from Connie's.
- Classic Rock Jukebox & Atmosphere: Dimly lit dive aesthetic powered by retro rock sets and a classic jukebox loaded with 100 rock albums.
- Late-Night Hangout & Pool Table: A central pool table, happy hour draft specials, and conversational service going strong well past 1 AM.
