That’s a wrap. ❤️
After six wonderful years, the door at Life’s Too Short is closed.
We’ll miss this beautiful old building. We’ll miss the bluestone walls, the tiny cellar, the quirks, the history and all the character that made this place unlike anywhere else.
But more than any of that, we’re going to miss the people.
The people who walked through our door as customers and somehow became regulars… and then became friends.
The familiar faces at the bar. The conversations that lasted longer than planned. The celebrations, the laughter, the stories, the hugs, the bottles shared and the friendships made along the way.
You turned a little bar in an old East Melbourne cellar into something very special, and Tony and I will always be incredibly grateful for that.
So this isn’t really goodbye.
We have a new home waiting for us at 42 Bridge Road, Richmond, and once the dust settles, the renovations are finished and the doors are ready to open, we can’t wait to welcome you all in again.
Different walls. Different bar.
Same Life’s Too Short. Same people. Same spirit.
Thank you for the most extraordinary six years.
See you in Richmond. 🥂
