A narrow red-brick lane lined with alfresco dining and specialty shops. Hardware Lane is another standout of Melbourne’s laneway renaissance and can be thought of as an upmarket, sunnier version of some of the grittier lanes like Degraves street. You won’t find any graffiti or dumpsters here, instead a fine selection of alfresco dining and drinking options.

This is the end of the official tour so you can stop for a meal or a drink. Or, you can continue on to several bonus stops. Check the map for directions.
