Price On Call
Established in 2011, Last Jar stands out as one of Melbourne CBD’s coolest bars. Its black and red exterior, reminiscent of a European pub, hints at its Irish character. Inside, the warm atmosphere features clean decor decorated with small framed photos against deep red walls.
Sundays offer Irish traditional music, and the last Thursday of each month brings a movie club showcasing gems like Veronica Guerin and The Crying Game. However, the true charm lies in the culinary offerings.
Using house-made seasonal ingredients and embracing Irish cooking traditions, the kitchen operates like a country farmhouse, delivering an authentic dining experience.
Generous pub grub portions on the seasonal menu include Irish delights like soda bread and black pudding, alongside classics like fish and chips. The carefully curated beer and wine selection complements the traditional farmhouse cooking, and an extensive Irish whiskey list tops off the experience.
Open Wednesday to Sunday, Last Jar features live music each night, except Saturdays. Wednesdays and Sundays host traditional Irish music nights, while Thursdays feature MacCrimmin’s residency blending Irish and Scottish tunes. Fridays showcase rotating musicians playing favorite pub songs.
The libations menu offers over 12 beers on tap, including Guinness, Stone and Wood, and Kilkenny. Happy hours from 4-7 pm daily add an extra layer of enjoyment.
Chef Jake Beazley, from Northern Ireland, leads the kitchen with renowned dishes like Beef and Guinness pies. The a la carte menu evolves, with specials like $22 Parma Nights on Thursdays and $20 Burger Nights on Fridays enhancing the vibrant dining experience.
Last Jar’s versatility with spaces like a beer garden, function room, dining room, main bar, and lounge makes it ideal for various events. Whether you seek a cozy corner, a lively spot for music, or a roomy area for a celebration, Last Jar has you covered.
