About Fifty-five Bar

Fifty?five Bar (also styled E?Fifty Five or E55) is a basement bar institution hidden beneath 55 Elizabeth Street in Melbourne’s CBD. It’s a long-standing spot loved by locals, creatives, backpackers, and night owls.

Descend narrow stairs to a warm, “share?house” vibe, comfy mismatched couches, funky coffee tables, potted plants, vinyl records, chill lighting.

Its heritage as Melbourne’s first internet?café adds a casual, unpretentious charm by day, while DJs spin eclectic beats most nights.

What it offers

Beers: Six rotating craft taps plus 60+ local and international cans and bottles, lager to stout.
Cocktails: Seasonal mixes and classic house cocktails, often well?priced (happy hour: $10 pints, $12 frozen cocktails Mon–Fri 5–1 2).
Food: Comfort bar snacks—free popcorn, $4 pizzas before 1 2 ($7 late), jaffles, nacho jaffles.
DJs: Vinyl DJs spinning R&B, funk, electronica, reggae—mixing into the background until danceable late sets.
Art Space: Commission-free, rotating gallery for local creatives every fortnight.

Perfect for pre-dinner beers, after-work hangs, a creative date, or backpacker meetups.
