Why it's worth checking out
Back Alley Sally's sits on Yewers Street in Footscray, one of Melbourne's vibrant and diverse inner-western suburbs. A characterful bar, it's earned a strong reputation — the kind of relaxed, in-the-know spot, with a fun, laneway-style vibe, that captures the easygoing, creative spirit of Footscray and has become a genuine favourite.
The appeal is that combination of good drinks, a relaxed and characterful setting and a great Footscray location, ideal for a catch-up, a special drink or settling in for the evening. As the inner west's bar scene continues to flourish, a quality venue with genuine character really stands out, and Back Alley Sally's has clearly carved out a loyal following.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 750 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Drinks lists, any food, opening hours and any events vary, and a popular bar fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed, quality drink in a characterful setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated in Footscray.
