Melbourne's Most Romantic Hidden Bar
A cellar since 1854
Tucked away in the old bluestone cellars of the original Victoria Brewery, hides Life’s Too Short – Melbourne’s most romantic petite luxe wine & cocktail bar.
Our menus feature back-vintage wines, top shelf spirits, incredible cocktails and artisan produce lovingly curated by our team, with no weekend, public holiday, or credit card surcharges.
With it’s own Sommelier, Mixologist and Chef, the old cellar is also home to Everything But Gin Distillery and regular Wine Matchmaker events.
A Micro-Distillery,
of sorts …
Once a brewery, now a micro-distillery tucked away in our back room, hidden from view while we run our secret trials.
But soon, one day, blending sessions will abound and small batch bespoke production will include hand signed and numbered bottles for retail and corporate enjoyment.
In the meantime you can learn about various spirits through our partnered events with Wine Matchmaker.
