Nestled in the site of the former Saint James cathedral, Saving Grace is the perfect place to unwind and escape the rush of Melbourne CBD. Come down for lunch, dinner, an after-work drink or a sneaky lunch time pint.

Saving Grace boasts a vast selection of Bourbon, Scotch & Japanese whiskies and 6 taps serving local craft beers. We also curate a selection of seasonal cocktails and local wines.

Burger Boys have taken over the kitchen on a permanent basis, forming an integral part of the local burger scene.

Join us for a drink!

    They were horrible. We booked a high top and when we got there, they would only seat us at a bar. To add insult to injury, when we said no thank you, we are leaving, they booked us in anyway which blocked our ability to book another restaurant. I would NEVER go there again!

    We had beers, burgers and the fried chicken. Very very delicious. A little crowded inside, but still comfortable seating. Highly recommended.

    Booked a table through their website expecting to get a table if I had a resetvatio. The venue wasnt even open. If they cant organise their opening hours, I have no hope for how they actually run.

    Consistently good! Still an unknown dive bar which makes this cool for those that don’t know about it or your friends from out of town. For me, it’s my go to burger bar.

    All-round, a great place to grab a drink and a burger after work :) it's definitely an after-work crowd, but has great ambience for a casual date after work as well

    Thanks for the review! We aim to be an oasis from the busy schedule of our working patrons. Later in the evening the vibe becomes a lot more mellow. Look forward to serving you again soon
