About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Hot spot
  • Good for groups
Tucked in a hidden laneway in the heart of Melbourne, right next door to our iconic sibling Beneath Driver Lane, Baby Driver is a vibrant haven of 70s jazz, funk vinyl, curated wines, crafted cocktails — and for a limited time, a Latin kitchen takeover by Lady T.

This May, we're serving bold, flavour-packed street food from Latin America. Expect empanadas, arepas, tacos and more — all paired with cocktails and natural wines in our moody, vinyl-spun space.

Whether you're grazing with friends, diving into the full $65 set menu, or staying for a drink and the music, Baby Driver is a sanctuary for lovers of good food, great wine, and even better company.

Perfectly located in the CBD, it's the ideal spot to kick off your night, wind things down with a nightcap, or settle in for the evening.

Planning something bigger? For groups of 15 or more, get in touch at drink@driverlanebar.com to explore our event spaces and tailor the perfect night out.

    Warm reception when entering, they explained the menu and recommended a few cocktails. We were checked on and drinks were offered and I have to say I accepted everyone. Its was a good night for our first night in Melbourne and the tapas were just what we wanted after travelling. It was a bit cold in the restaurant but we are from Queensland and a few cocktail in the cold disappeared. Would recommend

    Torino is a great place to have some pre food and cocktails before heading out for some drinks or to a show etc. The vibe is warm & cosy. The food is delicious and the cocktails are so good. Would definitely recommend. This is my second time going and won’t be my last.
