Lanes Edge Wine Bar

what a wonderfully relaxing evening! took my best friend (visiting from Sydney) & it was an awesomely intimate venue for a night of catching up :) Jazz & Will were both helpful, kind & engaging - however also left us to our own devices when we needed it, which was appreciated. it is so great sitting up at a bar for a chat, but also lovely to have the opportunity to be left alone to catch up. thank you both so much for an incredible Tuesday. hope to be back soon!

We chose Lane's Edge for our work function and weren't disappointed. Service was fast and friendly with a good selection of drinks including quality AF options. Will was very nice to deal with in terms of booking and answering queries. Tasty finger food. Good warm heaters in the outdoor section (needed this Melbourne winter), covered overhead but plenty ventilation and a great music selection. Thanks for a successful evening guys.

Starting off on a very bad note for the ‘refurbished’ Lanes Edge, now with added teenage angsty waitresses and No Dogs. As a former regular of the old Lanes Edge I was delighted to hear about the refurb but was rudely awoken from that dream when the waitress said unceremoniously ‘sorry dogs aren’t allowed here’ That’s right, the new owner has apparently banned pooches in the rear outdoor seating area. According to angsty girl; it’s because of permits. As a former restaurant owner in Melb City I know that outdoor seating doesn’t prevent dogs on leash.. And here’s an important lesson for the new owner: post-Covid there are more pet owners than ever before, so if you’re expecting customers to eat, drink and be merry at your restaurant you’d better fix your ‘no dogs allowed’ policy. Poor Bruno will have to just go somewhere a little more inclusive for the time being.

Oh how the mighty have fallen - no longer the perfect Friday after work dive! The old clientele should be warned, there's very little remnants of this place as it was. That said, no good thing lasts forever - however if you enjoy wine and a beautiful streetscape, you should still check this place out for what it's worth!
