Correction (4 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 between 3 October 2026 and 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Late. Hungry. Two facts matter: when the place is listed open, and when the kitchen stops. This page has six places, all in Footscray, with hours taken from each venue’s own site.
The latest listed closing times fall on Friday and Saturday nights. Where a kitchen time is not published, we say we could not find one. We did not check transport times for this page, so look up the Night Network timetable before you plan the trip home.
Every place was checked against two independent sources between 3 October 2026 and 4 October 2026, and prices are copied as printed.
