About Low Key

Tucked along High Street, this unpretentious Northcote refuge is built for low-volume conversation, dark rice lagers, and long evenings. Staff greet returning punters by name, pulling craft beers on rotation alongside house mixes like the Green Note cocktail. Out back, a brick courtyard features an open fireplace to sit beside when Melbourne weather turns brisk. If hunger strikes, grab the delivery menu at the bar to have piping-hot pizza from Primo brought straight to your table.

  • Curated Pours: A rotating lineup of local craft taps, collaborative wines, and house pours like the Green Note cocktail.
  • Fireside Slices: Order fresh pizzas from nearby Primo delivered straight to your bar stool or courtyard seat.
  • Courtyard Fireplace: An outdoor brick courtyard featuring a dedicated fireplace for relaxed gatherings in cooler weather.
