This venue from the team behind Northbridge’s Jack Rabbit Slims brings live music, late-night pizza and rowdy rock‘n’roll swagger to the former Ambar site in the CBD.

Although Ambar’s DJ booth has left the building, the space’s party spirit remains.

A nod to the venue’s former incarnations as various live-music clubs (AC/DC are rumoured to have played there in the late ’70s), Lucy’s hosts at least one live band every night on weekends. Rock, punk and heavy metal are the orders of the day.

Late-night pizzas sustain revelers until close at 5am. Expect thin, saucy New York-style pizzas topped with Southern-style comfort food such as fried chicken, hot sauce and blue-cheese dressing. A range of tap and packaged craft beers is complemented by a tight list of classic cocktails and other nightclub-friendly options.
