Beneath driver lane & BABY DRIVER

Welcome to Beneath Driver Lane—Melbourne’s underground home of whisky, blues and late-night revelry, where candlelight, live music and 500+ whiskies meet precision cocktails and unmistakable hospitality.

Upstairs, Baby Driver spins 70s funk, hip-hop and soul on vinyl, backed by a sharp wine list, tight cocktails and rotating kitchen residencies—currently 9 Mile’s Detroit-style pizza with crispy edges and molten centres.
