Bartender pouring a golden cocktail in a warmly lit bar

The Art of the Pour

Our bar program is built on the same principles as our kitchen: quality ingredients, careful technique, and a warm, social spirit. Seasonal Australian produce, house-made syrups, and classic cocktails refined with a modern touch are designed to be enjoyed alongside our grill menu or at the poker table.

Our Bar Philosophy

Hospitality in Every Glass

We believe a great drink is an extension of great hospitality. Our bartenders are as attentive to the details of a cocktail as our chefs are to a perfectly grilled steak. Every pour is measured, every garnish is deliberate, and every glass is presented with the same care you would expect from a fine dining room.

This philosophy shapes our entire beverage program. We emphasise fresh, local ingredients, rotate the menu with the seasons, and train our bartenders in both classic and contemporary techniques. The result is a list that feels familiar yet surprising, grounded in tradition but open to new ideas.

From Garden to Glass

We source herbs, fruits, and botanicals from local Victorian growers whenever possible, ensuring each cocktail reflects the season. House-made syrups and infusions capture the brightness of fresh produce, while partnerships with regional producers keep our sourcing sustainable and transparent. From the first squeeze of citrus to the final aromatic garnish, every ingredient is chosen with intention.

Wine & Beer Selection

Our wine list features a balanced selection of Victorian and Australian wines, with a few international highlights, chosen to complement our grill menu. We focus on small producers and sustainable vineyards, offering sparkling, white, rosé, and red options. The by-the-glass selection rotates regularly so there is always something new to discover.

We pour a rotating selection of local craft beers and ciders, from crisp lagers to hoppy IPAs and rich stouts. Partnerships with Melbourne breweries keep the taps fresh, and both on-tap and bottled options are available. Non-alcoholic beer is also on hand for those who prefer a lighter pour.

Thoughtful options for every guest, crafted with the same care as our cocktails.

Zero-Proof Cocktails

Low-Alcohol Spritzes

For those seeking a lighter option, our low-alcohol spritzes combine wine or aperitifs with sparkling water and fresh herbs. All sit under 5% ABV, making them refreshing and sessionable, and they pair beautifully with lighter dishes.

House-Made Sodas & Juices

We also offer a selection of house-made sodas, fresh juices, and artisanal non-alcoholic beverages. Flavors change with the seasons, made with local produce, and they are great for all ages.

Pairings with the Grill

Three classic matches that bring out the best in our kitchen and bar.

Steak & Red Wine

Our grilled steaks pair beautifully with medium-bodied reds like Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon, which complement the char and richness. Recommended: Victorian Shiraz. Alternative: a smoky Old Fashioned. For non-drinkers: a bold zero-proof Smoked Cola.

Seafood & Crisp Whites

For grilled fish or prawns, a crisp white like Chardonnay or a citrusy cocktail such as the Native Botanicals Spritz enhances the freshness. Recommended: Yarra Valley Chardonnay. Alternative: a classic Gin & Tonic with native botanicals. For non-drinkers: a cucumber and mint soda.

Burgers & Craft Beer

Our signature burgers are a natural match for a hoppy IPA or a refreshing lager, cutting through the richness. Recommended: local pale ale. Alternative: a spicy margarita. For non-drinkers: a house-made ginger beer.

The Social Ritual

Whether you're celebrating a win at the poker table or enjoying a quiet dinner, our drinks are designed to be shared and savored. The bar is a place to linger, converse, and make memories.

“A great drink doesn't just accompany the moment — it helps create it.”

Bar seating is available for pre-dinner drinks, and cocktails can be enjoyed at the poker table, with non-alcoholic options encouraged. Our friendly bartenders are always happy to recommend a pour that suits your mood, your meal, or the hand you've been dealt.
