About this restaurant

Charming
Hot spot
Great for fine wines

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.

We loved the food, and enjoyed not having to make decisions about what to order as we chose the Chef's Special Menu. The music was great, and wasn't too loud that we couldn't have a conversation which we appreciated. The service was exceptional, and the cocktails delicious. We never felt rushed, and the food was bought out at well timed intervals. It was very popular, so make sure you book!

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.
