Why it's worth checking out

Second Hand Dealer is a cocktail bar in Footscray, Melbourne, built around a playful question: if something is delicious, can it be turned into a drink? The venue’s drinks focus leans experimental, with the bar describing its approach as breaking flavours down into their component parts — including the idea of a banh mi distilled into a drink.

The setting is candlelit, with the owners’ interest in collecting art and antiques forming a visible part of the space. That gives the bar a distinctive character without taking attention away from the drinks. There is also a second room with comfortable booths, making it suited to a date night as well as larger groups.

Second Hand Dealer comes from the owner of Bar Josephine and follows Pie Thief and Trouble in Dreams. It is open from 5pm to 1am, Wednesday to Sunday, and is a natural choice for an evening drink in Footscray, whether you are meeting someone for a date or settling in with a group.

Spot Score

The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 5.0 from 25 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
