Late-night bottle shops in Melbourne
When the liquor cupboard is bare, head to one of Melbourne's late-night bottle shops
If you find yourself at a party in the wee hours with nary a bevvy in sight, run down to any one of these handy bottle-o's that are conveniently open late to quench your thirst. In the mood for a craft tinnie? Plan ahead next time and visit one of our favourite craft beer bottle shops. Or if you'd rather someone else do the pouring, wait until a more reasonable hour to visit Melbourne's best wine bars.
