Why it's worth checking out
Whitehart Bar sits on Whitehart Lane in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, tucked into one of the city's atmospheric laneways. A much-loved laneway bar, it's a genuine city favourite — combining a great drinks offering with a fun, characterful atmosphere (including a lovely open-air laneway setting), the kind of in-the-know spot that captures Melbourne's celebrated laneway-bar culture.
The appeal is that combination of well-made drinks, a lively, characterful laneway atmosphere and a central city location, ideal for a drink with friends, a date or a sociable night out. Melbourne's laneway bars are part of the city's charm, and a quality spot with a great vibe really stands out, with Whitehart clearly winning over a big, loyal following.
With a 4.3 rating from more than 1,700 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The drinks list, any food, opening hours, weather-dependent open-air areas and events vary, and a popular city bar gets busy on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a quality drink and a great laneway atmosphere, it's often just a matter of finding Whitehart Bar in the city.
