Book with PearlWhy go

About Bar Bellamy
Bar Bellamy is a Melbourne venue with a guide price of $45 per person and a smart casual dress code. The strongest reason to plan around it is practical: it opens into the evening most days it operates, with late closing on Monday and Wednesday through Saturday, an earlier finish on Sunday.
Treat Bar Bellamy as a Melbourne option to check against the confirmed hours, the $45 per-person guide, the smart casual dress code before you go.
A Melbourne option to plan by hours, price, dress code
Bar Bellamy’s confirmed hours are Monday 5 PM–1 AM, Tuesday closed, Wednesday 5 PM–1 AM, Thursday 5 PM–1 AM, Friday 5 PM–1 AM, Saturday 3 PM–1 AM, Sunday 3–9 PM. That makes it most useful for evening plans, with Saturday and Sunday also offering afternoon opening times.
The price guide is $45 per person. Use that as a planning benchmark rather than a promise about a particular menu, dish, drink, or format, since those specifics are not confirmed here.
What is confirmed before you go
There is not enough information here to state a specific seating style, room layout, or booking format for Bar Bellamy. For a smoother visit, keep the plan flexible and confirm any seating needs directly with the venue before committing to a particular occasion.
Bar Bellamy has also been recognised as a Best International Bar Team – APAC Regional Top 10 Honoree for 2026. That recognition is useful context, but the most reliable planning details remain the Melbourne location, the opening hours, the $45 per-person guide, the smart casual dress code.

Bar context
How Bar Bellamy compares in Melbourne
Choose Bar Bellamy over Black Pearl when Carlton is the plan and the night should feel lower-friction. Black Pearl is the stronger cross-shop for readers who want a more established Melbourne cocktail reference point, while Bar Bellamy makes more sense for a neighbourhood drink that does not require building the whole evening around one bar.
Against Bar Carnation, the decision is mainly category. Bar Carnation is the clearer pick for a European, wine-focused brief; Bar Bellamy is the better fit when the group wants a bar-first evening and less of a wine-bar frame. Bar Olo sits in the same Melbourne consideration set, so use location and desired mood to decide rather than assuming one is the automatic upgrade.
The Beaufort and Milk the Cow Licensed Fromagerie are less direct swaps because they sit outside the immediate Melbourne bar route. The Beaufort is more of a destination comparison, while Milk the Cow Licensed Fromagerie is the cheese-and-wine alternative for a different kind of night. If the goal is an easy Carlton drink with quality signals, Bar Bellamy is the cleaner call.
