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 and aged house wines 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 $12 and $15 cocktail specials change as we craft new and delicious cocktails, but there’s usually two (and sometimes five) to choose from.

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 half an hour before closing each night (as late as 10.30pm) with a range of European-style Tapas to enjoy, so you’ll never go hungry.
