Aperitivo Nights at Lollo
You can score $2 oysters on Tuesdays, cheap margarita cocktails and margherita pizzas on Wednesdays, and discounted hot wings and beers on Thursdays.
Overview
We were huge fans of W Melbourne's Paired at Culprit midweek deals, which saw city folks down bottomless food and drink combos for an absolute bargain in early 2024. The after-work events sadly ended in March, but they are finally back — just in a slightly different form.
Lollo is now hosting the weekly specials, which are running from 5–7pm every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday until summer.
Tuesday nights see Lollo's team sling $2 oysters throughout the two-hour period, easily paired with a glass of bubbles or a cheeky cocktail. These days, fresh oysters go for about $6 a pop in restaurants, so seafood fans best not sleep on this Tuesday night aperitivo.
Wednesdays are then all about margarita cocktails and margherita pizzas — we're not going to lie, this one is our favourite. For just $35, you'll get your own margherita pizza as well as a big carafe of chilled margarita.
And if you rock up to Lollo on a Thursday after work, you can score 13 spicy chicken wings and two beers for a mere $35.
But that ain't all. If you wander around to the Melbourne hotel's basement bar Curious, you'll stumble upon its own happy hour special. From 5–6pm, every Tuesday–Thursday, you can down $15 cocktails, gin and tonics, and wines by the glass.
We recommend starting with a drink at Curious, and following it up with whatever midweek deal is running at Lollo the day you visit.
