8 Whiteman Street, Southbank, Melbourne, VIC 3006Our Beverage Philosophy
Seasonal, Local, and Made for the Table
Seasonal and Local
We rotate our taps and cocktail list with the seasons, sourcing from Victorian breweries and distilleries whenever possible. Our beer list features limited releases from local breweries like Stomping Ground, Moon Dog, and Bodriggy. Cocktails use fresh herbs, citrus, and native Australian botanicals like lemon myrtle and wattleseed. The menu changes four times a year to reflect what is growing and brewing locally, so there is always something new to discover.
Designed for the Table and the Floor
Every drink is crafted to be enjoyed with our food or while you play, balancing flavour and refreshment. Beer and cocktail menus include pairing suggestions for our seasonal dishes. We offer low-ABV and non-alcoholic options so you can enjoy the full experience responsibly. Our bartenders are trained to recommend drinks that suit your palate and the occasion.
Craft Beer Selection
Victorian Brews and Rare Finds
Rotating Taps
Our 12 taps feature a rotating selection of pale ales, IPAs, lagers, and seasonal specials from Victorian breweries. Current highlights include Stomping Ground's Gipps St Pale Ale and Moon Dog's Old Mate Pale Ale. We always have at least one hazy IPA, one crisp lager, and one dark beer on tap. Tasting paddles are available so you can sample four different beers in one sitting.
Bottles and Cans
A curated bottle and can list features rare and limited releases from across Australia, including sours, stouts, and barrel-aged beers. We stock beers from Bodriggy, La Sirène, and Boatrocker. The bottle list changes monthly and includes vintage options. Ask our staff for the current cellar list.
Beer and Food Pairings
Our kitchen and bar teams collaborate to suggest pairings that enhance both the dish and the beer. Example: Gipps St Pale Ale with our charred octopus and lemon myrtle. Example: Boatrocker's Miss Pinky raspberry sour with our dark chocolate tart. Pairing suggestions are listed on the menu next to each dish.
Signature Cocktails
Botanical Creations from the Bar
Eucalyptus Sour
A botanical twist on the classic sour, using wattleseed-infused bourbon, lemon, and a touch of eucalyptus syrup. Smooth and aromatic with a subtle herbal finish. Garnished with a dehydrated lemon wheel. Pairs with our charred meats.
Southbank Negroni
Our take on the classic, featuring local sweet vermouth, barrel-aged gin, and a hint of native pepperberry. Bitter, complex, and warming. Served over a large ice cube with an orange twist. Pairs with our rich pasta dishes.
Garden Martini
A crisp, herbaceous martini with cucumber-infused vodka, dry vermouth, and a basil leaf. Clean and refreshing with a savoury edge. Stirred, not shaken, for a silky texture. Pairs with our light salads.
Classic Cocktails with a Twist
Timeless Favourites, Local Touches
We honour the classics while adding a local touch: Old Fashioned with smoked gum syrup, Margarita with finger lime salt, and Espresso Martini with Melbourne-roasted coffee. Old Fashioned uses Starward Two-Fold whisky. Margarita uses Tromba Blanco tequila. Espresso Martini uses Axil Coffee Roasters beans.
Non-Alcoholic & Low-ABV Options
Inclusive Choices for Every Guest
Thoughtful Zero-Proof
Our non-alcoholic list includes house-made sodas, botanical spritzes, and alcohol-free beers and wines. Try the Wattleseed & Tonic, a refreshing blend of wattleseed syrup, tonic, and lemon. We stock Heaps Normal Quiet XPA and NON alcoholic wines. All zero-proof drinks are crafted with the same care as our cocktails.
Low-Alcohol Choices
For those who want a lighter option, we offer session beers and low-ABV cocktails like the Spritz and the Garden Martini (made with reduced alcohol). Session IPAs under 4% ABV are always on tap. Ask your bartender for a low-alcohol version of any classic. We encourage responsible drinking and provide water stations throughout the venue.
