Our bar is strongly spirit focused, with a concentration on Caribbean & Martinique Rum's we are the show case bar for the Chairman's reserve & Clement Rhum's brands we also have a selection of over 100 rums – over the years we branched out into Gin's, Tequilas and Mezcals as reflected in our seasonal cocktail lists. Our team of professional bartenders deliver exceptional cocktails and quality service, but know when to turn the place into a party when times suit.
This is all designed to go hand-in-hand with our modern Australian Pub that offers pub classic with a twist, canapes bespoke set menus for functions & events. We focus on using local produce of the highest quality to create an unpretentious dining atmosphere. The menu changes seasonally using sustainable produce as much as possible.
