Fad Gallery & Bar
About Fad Gallery & Bar
FAD Gallery & Bar is a beloved laneway institution in Melbourne’s Chinatown, combining art, music, and a cozy bar vibe since 1995.
A two-storey laneway bar with dim lighting, mismatched couches, and artwork covering the walls, part speakeasy, part living room. Carries a "share-house" vibe with laid-back furnishings, plants, coffee tables, vinyls, and local art installations that rotate every 3–4 weeks.
Live gigs every Thursday featuring bands like Rocky & The Two Bob Millionaires and Frank Raymond & The Silhouettes; DJs take over Fri–Sat for boogie-worthy sets.
Hosts rotating art exhibitions, monthly comedy nights during the International Comedy Festival, and other creative events.
Offers
Wide selection of local + international beers, basic spirits, house wines, cocktails, coffee & soft drinks.
Happy Hour: Tue–Sat 4–1 2 with deals like $7 tin beers, $8 wines, bubbles & basic spirits.
Whether you're in for midweek vino, weekend dancing or soaking up local art, FAD delivers a distinct and heartfelt experience.
