About Pinchy's Lobster & Champagne Bar

Perched above Bourke Street, this balcony bar trades heavy dining for chilled champagne and bite-sized seafood snacks. Melburnians drop in for a sneaky drink on the terrace—settling in as city hums below. The kitchen focuses strictly on snack plates: think crisp snapper croquettes, freshly shucked oysters, and rich lobster rolls paired with house cocktails. Staff keep the glasses moving and explain dishes dish by dish, making the outdoor deck an easy afternoon stop for nibbles before the evening kicks off.
