Lane's Edge is one of my favourite CBD spots for casual drinks. It's not fancy and doesn't have a great beer selection, but it's comfortable and down to earth and consistent. I always know what to expect. It's like the venue equivalent of that friend's house you can always just show up to uninvited and expect to be greeted with positivity and welcome arms. I usually go for a White Rabbit Dark Ale when there, but there are also tall boys of Coopers and Melbourne Bitter that are a budget friendly alternative, and good for sharing.
Friendly staffs cheap price and good vibe :) visit occasionally here with bunch of friends but this place is quite small. I like smoking back side area !
Lovely little place for some drinks and snacks. I recommend Lanes Edge with a small group or just couples as it's quite intimate and not exactly spacious.
Another meeting point to have an endless talk with beloved friends. It is really warm and welcoming garden pub. However, it can be a bit smoky when people smoke
Super cool vibe. It's a cute little hidden away place which provides delicious food. I took my best friend here and she loved it. Lovely workers and a really relaxed environment
Lovely underrated spot for drinks with mates, with decent food and hipster/indie music in the background if you're into that. The pie with chips and salad was proportionally generous for a good price of $14, along with the linguini and gnocchi that our table ordered. At night it felt like eating in a garden surrounded with vines and dimmed lanterns all around.
Great experience! The bar tender Jesse was humorous and put a smile on my face and everybody's faces at the bar! The drinks were well priced and service was quick. We sat in the courtyard and it was very warm with really funky cool music playing! Really set the mood would recommend this place... would return because of Jesses customer service skills
I love love love Lanes Edge. Amazing, friendly and inviting staff. A totally friendly and inviting place with a beautiful outdoor area and vibe. The Vodka Sohito is my favourite cocktail ever, I bring all my mates here to have one. Sooo tasty!
Don't let your party end at the first part or 'entry' of the Lane's Edge. You have to go past the counter to the backyard!! It is a well decorated garden which adds a cozy feel to the place.
Food and drinks are pretty standard and the service is prompt.
Recommended if you are looking for a different ambience for a round of drinks!
Decent place for drinks. I didn't find the service too welcoming but definitely not rude either. Enjoyed the drinks very much and appreciated the grassy interiors.
A little ricketty but Lane's Edge has a decent beer garden and does not charge exorbitant prices for amber fluids. A little oasis in town, where the staff will spray you with water mist when it's a bloody hot day. Watch people go by on Meyers Lane as you sip away, it's good if you're a bit of a voyeur. Which of course The Dear Luncher is not.
A little blissful garden hidden away between high rise buildings and the bustling city atmosphere. I really like places that are hidden away, so this place was great. I had the Mixed Grill, and it was very filling and quite nice. I would love to come back and see how the other food is.
Can not fault Lanes Edge. This is my go to place and I love taking my friends here. The food is always delicious with exceptional service. I can't wait to come back again for some pasta or fish and chips.
Lanes edge is a pretty decent spot just off Bourke st. The outdoor area is really cozy and comfy, great little setup for chatting over a few drinks and before you know it the night has gotten away from you! Good service and friendly people :)
This place is cool man. I love the fact is so small and intimate, I love the fact that its got a beer garden and I love the fact its got some good drinks. This was my go to place, sitting down, chatting away and losing yourself in the midst of it all and then realising you've been there for 5 hours. So many fond memories at this place and I am absolutely sure that this place helped in making those memories fond.
Lane’s Edge is one of my favourite, go to, lazy CBD venues. When you walk in skip the inside of the restaurant and walk straight out to the very Melbourne beer garden. The outdoor area is dressed with vines, umbrellas and red lanterns, giving it a really chilled vibe. I’ll never forget my first visit where the waiter sat us down and before taking our orders told us how hung over he was. From that moment I knew I would love this very unpretentious place.

One of the best joints I've been to recently, so nice and chilled, really good eat and drink, service was great and food didn't take long at all to arrive, overall cool place to be, will definitely be back
Oh man that sharing platter is the best!... comes with some meatballs, mozerella cheesticks with this awesome dips and pitta bread. vibe is chill as hell so good to like talk and just enjoy..
I like the atmosphere out the back, nice to sit for a drink. Service at the bar is always nice and friendly. Haven't tried the food but the cocktails are pretty good too.
Came here for lunch. Service was lovely even though it was the waiters first day he handled it well. Appreciated that a more experienced server (owner?) came round and checked all the new guys tables to make sure all was ok. I liked the food, I loved the mini-beer garden feel. Would recommend it to others.

The menu had enough vegetarian meals for me even if not terribly different than what is on offer elsewhere. But who wouldn't enjoy decent food in a courtyard that is like a little tropical oasis in the city. It does not offer a lot to vegans though the dips and chips might be suitable. The menu notes that they have gluten free options. And if you are after a fancy cocktail, you will be spoiled for choice.
Great Find !. What a gem this place is. Staff are tops in service and a smile, which is sadly lacking in a lot of places in Melbourne. Food is great, drinks not overpriced which is why we keep going back. We will be happier when courtyard is non smoking so we can go there.
Great lunch spot!. Went here for lunch last week with some work colleagues.
LOVED the atmosphere and the vibe. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
I had the pasta of the day, however was a bit bland and not hot (warmth wise) enough.
I am really eager to try this place for dinner on a Sat night!
This place is very unique with it's layout and decorative items which is why I really enjoyed myself.
Good latte, good service Ca.... Good latte, good service
Can't complain
Decent pub food. Excellent service on a busy Friday night - super friendly staff who went out of their way to find us a table (big group) and helping us find chairs whilst waiting.
Great atmosphere and setting. Food was quite basic nothing fancy and confusing. Large servings as well and reasonably priced. Highly recommended!
Lanes edge is amazing! The atmosphere is chill, the staff a polite and relaxed and the food is incredible!! Must have the wedges! Something so simple but they are the best I've had EVER. Must visit this place!!
Efficient service and tasty meals. This is one of those hidden gems people are always on the lookout for in Melbourne. I have been here a couple of times now and my experience is that the service is friendly and very efficient. I have even popped in with my husband 20 minutes before a screening of Moonshadow and we were able to order, eat, pay and arrive at Princess Theatre without needing to hurry overly.
The menu items provide little twists and have always been tasty. I have yet to try their cakes though.
Overall, I think it is an excellent little place to meet with a friend or two. Be aware that the place is a little too small and tight for more than a group of 4 though.
Had such a nice little meal here out the back. Staff are great ! Helpful, friendly and knowledgable for local place to visit :)
Yum! I had the burger. Was huge and awesome! Staff are friendly and attentive. Cute court yard. Random decore inside but it works : ) salmon. Pasta. Calamari. Wraps. Fries! Good value as well. Recommended.
AMAZING - sorprendente!! I am so happy with the service, food, drinks, atmosphere!! I highly recommend this over resteraunts such as Bottega, Ezard and perhaps even City Grill. Well done!! I'm coming back, tomorrow!
I like it! No its not a gourmet restaurant but it has a good range of tasty bar food (including vegetarian options) at good prices, as well a a good wine list. It's a laid back, casual, comfortable bar/café good for chilling out and catching up with friends while enjoying a few drinks and a nice meal
Lanes edge cafe. Lanes edge is a layed backed little cafe/bar
great menu, drinks and fabulous staff
great outdoor dinning & drinking area
extremely great value for money.
signiture dish would have to be the calamari sizzle
with a chilled glass of malbourough sav blanc
can't recommed it highly enough

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!
Awesome bar on the corner of Meyers Place. Has an open outdoor seating area out the back and a cosy bar at the front. Pre-set cocktails are so delish. Our party also enjoyed the mulled wine. Lovely finger food as well. Brilliant service.
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.
Lovely bar with great staff. Super friendly and easy to order. The menu is a bit small but everything on it they do well! Great spot for your friday night drinks
Mulled wine was very nice on a cold afternoon.
