Bar & Food
A bar that happens to have a comedy theatre above it.
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.
