About West Footscray Wines

Part bottle shop and part sunlit neighborhood enoteca, this Barkly Street haunt lets you pull bottles off retail shelves to uncork on the spot. Pull up a stool inside or claim a stone table out in the breezy back courtyard. The kitchen backs the cellar with freshly shucked oysters, cheese boards, charred greens, and skewers of fire-kissed lamb. Locals circle back on Wednesday nights for ten-dollar pours and zero corkage fees.

  • Retail Shelves & Zero Corkage: Select bottles straight from the retail shelves to take home or drink on-site, with zero corkage fees on Wednesdays.
  • Raw Bar & Skewers: Pair pours with freshly shucked oysters, cheese boards, hot chips, and skewers from the spiedini menu.
  • Rear Sunlit Courtyard: Relax inside or settle outside at the front tables and the spacious, dog-friendly back courtyard.
