The Beverage Philosophy

A Celebration of Australian Terroir

Our beverage program celebrates the diversity of Australian wine regions while embracing international classics, all curated to enhance the dining experience. We focus on small-batch and boutique producers who share our commitment to sustainable and organic practices. The result is a list that feels alive, personal, and deeply connected to the landscape.

The seasonal cocktail menu changes with local produce, allowing the bar team to respond to what is freshest and most expressive at any given moment. This approach keeps the beverage program dynamic without sacrificing the precision that defines the dining room.

“Every bottle and every cocktail should tell a story about where it comes from.”

Craft Cocktails with a Modern Twist

Our bartenders combine classic techniques with innovative ingredients to create cocktails that are both familiar and surprising. House-made syrups, bitters, and infusions form the foundation, while native Australian botanicals add a distinctive sense of place.

Presentation reflects the architectural setting: clean lines, generous negative space, and a restrained use of brass and glass. The goal is a drink that feels as considered as the room around it.

“Classic technique, Australian character, and a modern sense of restraint.”

The Wine Cellar

The wine list features over 200 labels from Australia and around the world, with a focus on producers who value transparency and place. The cellar is temperature-controlled and regularly reviewed by the sommelier team.

Australian Icons

A curated selection of Australia's finest wines, from Barossa Shiraz to Margaret River Chardonnay, showcasing the country's diverse terroirs. Featured regions include Barossa Valley, Margaret River, Yarra Valley, and Hunter Valley.

We emphasize small producers and single-vineyard bottlings, and vertical tastings are available upon request for guests who want to explore a single site across multiple vintages.

International Classics

A refined selection of Old World and New World wines, including Burgundy, Bordeaux, Tuscany, and Napa Valley, to complement the menu. The list focuses on benchmark producers and vintage depth.

Our sommelier can guide pairings for each course, and rare or allocated bottles are available for special occasions with advance notice.

Cellar Philosophy

Our cellar is built on relationships with growers and a commitment to minimal intervention, ensuring each bottle expresses its origin. Temperature-controlled storage maintains optimal conditions, and the wine list is updated seasonally to reflect new discoveries.

Regular tasting and quality checks by the sommelier team mean that every bottle on the list has been assessed for balance, typicity, and readiness to drink.

Signature Cocktails

The Dingo Sour

A house twist on the classic whiskey sour, featuring native lemon myrtle and a touch of wattleseed syrup, finished with a frothy texture. Made with Australian rye whiskey and garnished with a dehydrated lemon wheel and edible flower.

Balanced, refreshing, and subtly aromatic, this is a signature expression of the bar's approach to native ingredients.

Sunlit Spritz

A light, effervescent cocktail inspired by the venue's architecture, combining prosecco, elderflower, and a hint of sage. Served over clear ice with a sage leaf, it is low in alcohol and perfect for daytime dining.

Pairs well with seafood and light starters, making it an ideal opening to a long lunch.

Brass Negroni

A rich, stirred cocktail that pays homage to the brass accents in the lounge, featuring gin, sweet vermouth, and a house-made bitter liqueur. Aged in a small oak barrel for depth and garnished with an orange twist.

Best enjoyed before or after dinner, this drink rewards slow sipping and conversation.

Pairing Philosophy

Wine Pairings for the Tasting Menu

Our sommelier has designed a wine pairing journey that mirrors the progression of the tasting menu, with each pour enhancing the dish's flavors. Pairings are available for both the seasonal and signature tasting menus, with options including premium and rare wine flights.

For guests who prefer not to drink alcohol, a thoughtful non-alcoholic pairing is also available, using teas, juices, and house-made infusions to echo the same flavor principles.

Cocktail Pairings

For a more playful experience, our bartenders can suggest cocktail pairings that echo the ingredients and techniques of the kitchen. Cocktails are designed to complement specific courses and can be customized based on guest preferences.

This approach is ideal for those who prefer spirits over wine, offering a fresh perspective on how beverages can interact with food.

Cocktail Craftsmanship

House-Made Ingredients

We take pride in crafting our own syrups, bitters, and infusions using seasonal Australian produce, ensuring every cocktail is fresh and distinctive. Daily preparation of citrus and herbs keeps flavors bright, while small-batch bitters aged in oak add depth.

Native ingredients like finger lime and lemon myrtle appear throughout the menu, connecting each drink to the Australian landscape.

Technique and Presentation

Our bartenders employ both classic and modern techniques, from precise stirring to smoke infusion, to create cocktails that are as beautiful as they are delicious. Clear ice is hand-cut for each drink, and glassware is selected to enhance aroma and temperature.

Garnishes reflect the season, adding a final layer of texture and fragrance that completes the experience.
