Saving Grace

Saving Grace sits on Church Lane in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, tucked into one of the city's characterful laneways. A well-regarded bar, it's earned a strong reputation — the kind of stylish, in-the-know spot, with quality drinks and a warm, characterful atmosphere, that captures the city's celebrated laneway-bar culture.

The appeal is that combination of quality drinks, a relaxed yet characterful laneway setting and a great central city location, ideal for after-work drinks, a special drink, a catch-up or settling in for the evening. A quality bar with genuine character in a Melbourne laneway is always a draw, and Saving Grace has clearly carved out a loyal following.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 430 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Drinks lists, any food, opening hours and any events vary, and a popular city bar fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed, quality drink in a characterful laneway setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in down Church Lane in the city.
