The best Happy Hours in Melbourne

Melbourne’s laneways might be famous for coffee, but when the sun starts to sink, it’s the happy hour that steals the spotlight. From rooftop bars with skyline views to moody wine cellars and hidden cocktail dens, this city has mastered the art of the early-evening pour. Typically running in the mid - late afternoon, Happy Hour is your golden opportunity to explore new venues, enjoy discounted drinks and bar snacks, and ease into the night without blowing a hole in your budget.

If you’re hunting for $10 cocktails, two-for-one beers, or bite-sized eats that pair perfectly with your favourite drink, you’re in the right place. Menu Spot has handpicked the best happy hour spots in Melbourne, and we think that they're ideal for after-work drinks, spontaneous dates, or a midweek catchup with mates.
