Happy Hour & Specials

At Life’s Too Short Bar, we believe people drink wines far too young. That’s why we’re home to Melbourne’s only (and best) back-vintage Happy Hour, where you can revel in some of the finer things in life …

Every Wednesday (4pm-6pm), Thursday (4pm-6pm) and Friday (3pm-6pm, excluding public holidays) you can enjoy selected cellared house wines as old as 2015 vintage, from a tiny $9 a glass.

Wines are subject to change without notice, so please ask us what’s on Happy Hour before you order.

There’s also a fine NV Yarra Valley Sparkling and Yarra Valley Craft Lager from Hargreaves Hill for $9.

Our $20 cocktail of the month changes as we sell out. In May we’ve got Pretty in Pink Gintini and the delicious Ruby Lychini.

Need a pick me up? Not all cocktails are created equal …

Try our famous Espresso Martini Royale with fresh-pulled Code Black 3056 coffee, top shelf spirits, and two secret ingredients. It’s not just a Martini, it’s a Royale.

Hailed as Melbourne’s best (along with our infamous Sunset Negroni) they’re just $18 all day, every day, as long as you ask nicely.

Plus our kitchen is open from when we open until 11pm each night with a range of European & Spanish Tapas to enjoy, so you’ll never go hungry.
