Bar & Food

A bar that happens to have a comedy room attached

Perched above the hustle of Bourke and Swanston, our bar is the perfect hideaway in the heart of the CBD. Whether you're seeing a show or not, enjoy drinks with friends from our alcoholic and non-alcoholic menus, all heroing local winemakers, brewers and distilleries.

On the taps and on the shelf

Our drinks menu is always evolving as we hand-pick produce from small-batch winemakers and brewers. We've got a large non-alcoholic range, 3 tap beers (one brewed just for us by Stomping Ground), plus wines, spirits and cocktails.
