Melbourne’s hidden gem: find out more about the premier underground bar in Melbourne.
A New York-style lounge in the heart of Melbourne
Tucked beneath the bustling streets of Melbourne, Black Rabbit is an urban hideaway that blends sleek sophistication with vibrant energy. Founded in 2016 by Adrian Sommer, The Black Rabbit was born from a vision to bring a New York-style basement lounge to the heart of Melbourne. Designed for those who appreciate the art of relaxation and the thrill of nightlife, the space offers a unique setting where the city’s professionals and party-goers connect.
With its dimly lit, sleek interior and rich earthy tones, the underground bar quickly became a go-to Melbourne destination for those seeking a stylish hideaway—whether to unwind after work or lose themselves in the energy of the night.
