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 2 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 says it closes, and how you get home.
Six places here. Two in Thornbury, three in Northcote, one in Preston. Each closing time comes from the venue’s own listing, and we name whose listing it is. Where a venue publishes no closing time we could read, we say so and leave it blank.
No transport timetable is printed on this page. Check Public Transport Victoria before you leave.
