About this space

Luton Lane is a European-style wine bar through and through. Behind that bar (and in the fully stocked wine fridge) there are over 100 bottles of wine, with a whopping 17 by the glass.

Those focus on natural drops and span labels from France, Spain, and Argentina, along with quite a few from Victoria's wine regions. At the moment, the must-try is the natural fermentation sparkling by French winemaker Varichon & Clerc.

Luton Lane Wine Bar is available for exclusive events. The venue is able to be booked exclusively for brunch or lunch events 7 days a week.

Luton Lane Wine Bar can cater for sit down grazing lunches or more informal cocktail style events for up to 80 guests.

Luton Lane Wine Bar is available for exclusive events. The venue is able to be booked exclusively for brunch or lunch events 7 days a week.

Luton Lane Wine Bar can cater for sit down grazing lunches or more informal cocktail style events for up to 65 guests.

The space is a monochromatic alcove beneath a residential apartment block with polished cement pillars stretching to a high ceiling, glass lampshades, and a long, swerving marble bar. Techno has been eclipsed by a single turntable spinning easy-listening hip-hop.

The 120-bottle wine list isn’t committed to one wine region, though a European bent is noticeable, with a sizeable portion of the by-the-glass list from Spain and Italy.

And that’s the direction of the food too. The menu is lengthy for a wine bar, spanning bar snacks in all forms: from ’nduja, green tomato, jamon pintxos and tiny tins of Spanish seafood, to charcuterie, cheese and charred skewers of chorizo. Again the idea is to keep it broad and approachable.
