A restaurant smuggled from Mexico to Melbourne. Find Little Bourke Street’s late night mezcal bar and taqueria hidden underground in the China Town precinct, and open 7 days a week until late, including lunch Thursday - Sunday. Try a Tequila or Mezcal cocktail, or speak to our team about sipping some exciting Agave spirits instead. The $59 Feed Me banquet offers great value and a huge mix of traditional Mexican street food, plus some dishes with a twist. We also offer a $75 Bottomless Brunch on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays, with unlimited cocktails and 5 dishes; or a Pre-Theatre deal available every night of the week. We are located on the corner of Little Bourke and Crossley Street, Melbourne, with a moody bar and dining area perfect for both a quiet drink, or a larger celebration.

    My dining companion was a vegan and she loved the menu. I actually tried vegan myself and it enjoyed it too. Service was amazing and they were super attentive to our needs. The cocktails were amazing too. Would come again.

    Bodega Underground is a hidden gem! The tacos are packed with so much flavour and are such great value for money. The drinks are just as impressive, adding to the overall great experience. The underground setting gives the place a cool, laid-back vibe that makes it the perfect spot for a night out. Definitely worth a visit!

    The pre theatre menu is not worth the $55, youre better off ordering from the menu bcs they say you get 6 food but youre only getting 1 piece of those food and theyre not clear with instructions on what you get when you take package..

    One of your waiters is absolutely awesome. I dropped my horchata twice in 2 minutes (my bad 😬), and he was immediately on the job, and deflecting my apologies. Bodega Underground makes for a great first date 🙂

    Drove over from Adelaide for a concert, but always make sure to make time for Bodega Underground! We had the feed me menu (which is completely gluten free) and every dish was better than the last. Drinks, service and vibes are always immaculate!

    Ambience is vibey, and the service is excellent. Staff were always checking if we needed a top up for drinks, and they came out super fast! Great food and drink options - enough variety to keep you excited! Very accommodating for dietaries as well.
