Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
The Last Chance sits on Victoria Street in North Melbourne, just north of the CBD. A characterful bar, it's earned a strong reputation — the kind of relaxed, in-the-know spot, with good drinks and a welcoming, characterful atmosphere, that's become a genuine favourite for a quality drink.
The appeal is that combination of quality drinks, a relaxed yet characterful setting and a convenient North Melbourne location, ideal for a catch-up, a special drink or settling in for the evening. A quality bar with genuine character really stands out, and The Last Chance has clearly carved out a loyal following in the inner north.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 700 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 North Melbourne.
