Late night spots to talk in Melbourne

40 venues, ranked on what OpenStreetMap actually records about each one.

How this page is built. Every venue below is drawn from OpenStreetMap and scored on recorded facts — Someone needs somewhere still open after midnight that is not a club. Venues that OpenStreetMap knows nothing relevant about are left off rather than padded in, which is why this list is shorter than the total number of bar-type venues in Melbourne. Full method.

Frequently asked questions

How many Melbourne venues are on this list?

This page ranks the top 40 of 195 venues in Melbourne that OpenStreetMap records at least one relevant detail for. Of the 40 shown, 3 have Wi-Fi recorded and 40 publish their opening hours.

Which of these Melbourne venues have Wi-Fi?

Of the venues on this page, The Old Bar, Great Northern Hotel and Club Laverton all have Wi-Fi recorded in OpenStreetMap. Wi-Fi is not tagged for every venue, so absence here means "not recorded", not "no Wi-Fi".

Which of these venues stay open late?

Town Hall Hotel, Sircuit, Oxford Scholar Hotel, The Old Bar and The Drunken Poet are open until 11pm or later on at least one day of the week, according to the opening hours published in OpenStreetMap.

Which of these venues are step-free?

Town Hall Hotel, Oxford Scholar Hotel, Great Northern Hotel, Madame Brussels and Belgian Beer Cafe are tagged as wheelchair accessible in OpenStreetMap. Accessibility tagging is incomplete, so it is worth confirming with the venue.

How is this list ranked?

Venues are scored on the facts OpenStreetMap records about them - open past 1am, open past 11pm, outdoor seating, non-smoking indoors, no live music - and ranked by that score. A venue with no relevant detail recorded is left off the list entirely rather than padded in. Nothing on this page is a paid placement.
