About Lane's Edge Wine Bar

A Bourke Street hideaway pouring garage-winery finds and craft pours into a leafy Meyers Place courtyard. Drop by the front counter pub-style, chat with the bartenders, and sample a few small-maker drops before committing to a glass. Out back, timber benches and overhead heaters hold groups lingering over dirty martinis, generous charcuterie, and house pickles with cheddar.

  • Small-maker pours: Order at the timber counter, where staff readily pour preliminary tastes of independent Australian bottles before you buy.
  • Laneway garden retreat: Heated, timber-decked courtyard extending into Meyers Place with greenery and large tables for casual group gatherings.

  • Unwind Across Immersive Laneway Evenings

    Knowledgeable bartenders and chef-crafted nibbles create an engaging atmosphere where quick drinks naturally turn into full evenings.

    We were expecting to come for one drink and bar hop to the next bar.... We ended up staying all night!!!

  • Heated Courtyard Spaces for Group Gatherings

    Spacious rear tables and a covered, heated beer garden make group catchups and office events effortless across all seasons.

    Good warm heaters in the outdoor section (needed this Melbourne winter), covered overhead but plenty ventilation and a great music selection.

  • Flexible Seating for Team Celebrations

    The venue effortlessly accommodates team drinks and casual group celebrations alongside intimate tables for smaller parties.

    Bet they’d be good for some after work drinks with the team round the back as they’ve got both big tables for a group as well as some intimate tables for couples.

  • Feel Like a True Local in the City

    Despite the brisk CBD setting, regulars and newcomers are made to feel personally recognized and thoughtfully attended to.

    Love feeling like a local in a city bar. They serve hundreds and I still feel known and special.

  • Unwind in a Verdant Laneway Retreat

    Surrounded by lush greenery and timber accents in the rear laneway garden, guests instantly experience an unhurried, calming retreat.

    Sat in the beer garden where the atmosphere is great I automatically felt relaxed wuth the tinber & greenery.

Before you head over

Practical advice on ordering, wine tasting, and seating for your visit

  • Order at the Counter

    Place food and drink orders directly at the counter up front, and grab your own water rather than waiting for table service.

  • Request a Preliminary Taste

    If you are unsure among the garage winery and small-maker selections, ask the bartenders for a sample taste before committing to a glass or bottle.

  • Aim for the Heated Courtyard

    Head through to the rear courtyard backing onto Meyers Place, where overhead heaters keep the space warm and covered during colder Melbourne weather.
