Nestled at behind 93 Buckley Street, Seddon, Lay Low Bar is discreetly accessed via a hidden door inside the Brixton Pound clothing store—a true speakeasy experience in Melbourne’s inner west.

Specialty cocktails are at the heart of Lay Low, crafted using house-made and seasonal local ingredients. Notable creations include the Seddon Sling (Vietnamese mint, ginger beer, bourbon) and the smoky Little Smoke, as well as inventive zero-waste drinks like the Beerlini, made with Hop Nation pale ale.

The cocktail program was developed by Oscar Eastman of Eau De Vie fame, focusing on clever local twists and sustainability.

Beer and wine options include local Hop Nation taps, curated wine list, and spirits available from the rear bar.

The interior features industrial-chic styling: polished terrazzo floors, pendant lighting, upholstered bench seating, hanging plants and art by local talent. It maintains a low-lit, intimate vibe, ideal for date nights or relaxed catch-ups.

Dim lighting, a curated sound system, and friendly staff contribute to a refined but relaxed social ambience.

• Happy Hour: Often between 5 pm–6 pm from Thursday through Sunday, special pricing on cocktails and Hop Nation beers.
• Hosts popular singles mingle nights, drag bingo, and other themed events, with a strong emphasis on community and welcoming atmosphere.
• Live DJ sessions and occasional guest music keep the mood vibrant but not overwhelming.

Lay Low Bar is a standout choice for anyone seeking a unique cocktail experience in Melbourne’s west.
