Burger Boys

Hidden down Church Lane. moody bar energy, craft beer on tap, and burgers that Melbourne food hunters return to again and again.

Dark, intimate, and deliberately moody. A tiny laneway bar that doubles as a burger joint with rock-and-roll playlists and projected visuals (including a Russian train scene). Loud when busy. hard to hold a conversation, but that is part of the charm. The vibe is best described as a dive bar with serious food credibility. Seats are limited; countertop bar seating is a feature. Outdoor heaters extend the lane seating in winter.

Craft beer on tap including Asahi, pale ales, and an IPA. Cocktails available. Gluten-free bun option available (notably praised for being fluffy rather than dense). Vegan burger option with plant-based patty. Russian train scene projected inside. No obvious signage on the street. look for the laneway entrance marked BAR.

Straightforward American-style burger bar with an Australian craft beer twist. No cultural authenticity angle. it is simply doing burgers well, with care visible in each build. The chef's attention to the craft is noted by multiple reviewers.

Mid-range for Melbourne burger bars. Classic burger ~$19, Rushmore ~$17, sides $6-$10. Some reviewers feel it is slightly on the expensive side for the portion size, but the majority consider the quality justifies the price. Beer is reasonably priced for the CBD. Expect $25-30 all-in for burger and a drink.
