Correction (11 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Three places in Belgrave list evening hours that run late: Micawber Tavern, The Black Bee and Cognoscenti. This page keeps to what each one lists, because that is all that can be checked from a desk.
Hours below are as each venue’s own site lists them, with the OpenStreetMap tag set beside Micawber Tavern’s. Two of the three give late as the closing time, and these are venue hours rather than kitchen hours, so ring before you go if you want food.

Micawber Tavern’s own site lists Friday noon to 1am and Saturday 11am to 1am. Monday to Thursday it lists noon to 10pm, and Sunday 11am to 10pm. The OpenStreetMap tag lists the same pattern. The site adds that hours are subject to change over school and public holidays, and its details may have changed, so check first.
Get home: Its Friday and Saturday hours run past midnight on its site, so line up a ride before you order.
The Black Bee — 7 Bayview Road, Belgrave VIC 3160
The Black Bee’s site lists Wednesday to Saturday, from 5 till late. That listing covers those four days only. We have not printed a clock time for closing, so late is as exact as this page gets. Its details may have changed, so confirm before you head over.
