Cocktail Salon • The Feast Bar
A dark jade bar, candlelit tables, and a menu of meticulously built cocktails designed to unfold across the evening. From crystal-clear martinis to vivid seasonal infusions, every glass is composed to match the theatre of the bistro and the hush of the club lounge.
Our signature list is a quiet study in balance: crisp, spirit-forward builds for the club purist, layered citrus and spice for slow grazing, and low-ABV aperitifs to open the evening without rushing it. Every drink is hand-measured, stirred or shaken to order, built over clear ice, and landed with a precise finishing touch.
Expect premium Australian and international spirits, house-made cordials and syrups, clarified juices, and a focus on texture: silken sours, bright highballs, and deep, contemplative nightcaps that pair naturally with the bistro’s fire-driven menu.
Refined takes on martinis, old fashioneds, and negronis, quietly adjusted to your preferred strength and garnish, and served in chilled crystal.
Infused gins, smoked agave, and oak-kissed rums rested in-house, threaded through serves that echo the room’s timber, leather, and soft brass.
Cocktails composed for the table, arriving on slender trays with considered glassware, ideal before a long dinner or after a session in the offline poker lounge.
Behind the bar, every pour begins with classic method: measured builds, clean technique, and an insistence on clarity of flavour. From there, our team leans into contemporary Australian produce and understated theatre, crafting cocktails that feel both familiar and quietly surprising.
We dial in dilution, temperature, and glassware to match the pace of your evening — a brisk aperitif before a bustling dining room sitting, or a slow, contemplative nightcap after time spent in the offline poker salon. Each drink respects the moment you are in.
Technique-forward, guest-focused, and tuned to The Feast and The Final Fold.
We design cocktails that sit comfortably alongside shared plates, long conversations, and the subtle energy of a card table in motion. Expect restrained sweetness, layered aromatics, and a focus on balance that keeps the evening unforced and elegantly paced.
Our cocktail list shifts with the Australian seasons, moving from bright coastal profiles to deep, fireside builds as the year evolves. Local growers, distillers, and foragers shape the rhythm of what is poured.
Crisp, garden-driven cocktails layered with citrus, stone fruit, and aromatic herbs. Expect tall highballs, low-ABV spritzes, and bright, saline-leaning serves that suit long afternoons and early evening cards.
Richer, slower builds anchored in darker spirits, toasted spice, and smoked elements that echo the bistro’s warm timber and low light. Perfect for late seatings and reflective nights in the salon.
Short-run cocktails built around fleeting produce and experimental infusions — ideal for regulars and curious guests who enjoy exploring the margins of the list.
For guests who prefer to play their own hand, our mixologists offer a bespoke service: a conversational build guided by your flavour preferences, spirit of choice, and the mood of your evening.
Share how you like to drink — bright or brooding, herbal or fruit-led, silky or sharp — and we will craft a one-off cocktail that sits comfortably within our house style while feeling distinctly your own.
Bespoke service is available most evenings, with extended time held for small groups and private bookings.
Quiet theatre that respects both the room and the ritual.
Where appropriate, select elements of your drink are finished or garnished at the table: a final spritz of citrus, a smoked glass, or a delicate herb placement. The focus is on calm, assured service that enhances, rather than interrupts, conversation.
Our zero-proof list is crafted with the same care as our spirited serves: complex, grown-up flavours built from infusions, ferments, bitters, and nuanced textures, all without alcohol.
Whether you are pacing your evening, driving, or simply prefer to stay clear, these drinks offer a complete bar experience in their own right.
Every guest, every seat, fully considered.
Zero proof cocktails are listed prominently and can be tailored to match your dining selections. Our team is trained to suggest options that keep you part of the rhythm of toasts and shared rounds, without drawing unnecessary attention.
Our cocktail and beverage program is closely aligned with The Feast kitchen, with suggested pairings curated by our sommelier and senior bar team. The goal: a seamless arc from first sip to final course.
Across chef’s menus, shared plates, or a post-card-room snack, we recommend serves that frame flavour rather than compete with it, moving from bright and cleansing to deep and contemplative.
Lift the palate with lean, bitter-forward cocktails or mineral-driven zero proof options that set up the first plates without overwhelming them.
Delicate spice, orchard fruit, and herbal notes echo key dishes, designed to be sipped slowly and shared across the course of service.
Stirred, spirit-forward builds, low-light digestifs, and coffee-led creations made for debriefing a game or closing an evening in the lounge.
Curated cocktails and courses for groups and hosting.
For intimate celebrations or partner hosting, we can design a fixed progression of cocktails and dishes tailored to your table. Speak with our team about aligning the bar and kitchen for your next function.
Enquire About PairingsThe bar at Thefinalfoldfeast sits at the meeting point of bistro and lounge: rich dark jade surfaces, matte black details, raw timber shelving, and soft brass highlights that glow against the bottles.
Plush club seating, low tables, and a soundscape tuned for conversation create a room that feels equally suited to a pre-dinner martini, a quiet date, or a late-night debrief after the final hand is played in the salon.
Lighting is deliberately restrained: warm, layered, and flattering, with each table held in its own subtle pool of light.
For teams, close-knit groups, or special occasions, our masterclasses open the bar playbook. Hosted in a dedicated corner of the venue, these evenings blend guided tasting, technique demonstrations, and hands-on cocktail building.
Classes are designed to be immersive yet relaxed, with time held for questions, experimentation, and quiet enjoyment of the room.
Our bar team brings together experience from hotel bars, neighbourhood institutions, and destination restaurants across Australia and abroad. What unites them is a calm, guest-first approach, quiet confidence with the classics, and a genuine love of the room.
Years spent behind polished bars in Melbourne, Sydney, and further abroad, refining technique and service that feels effortless rather than showy.
Listen first, pour second. Each drink is an opportunity to read the table, the evening, and the pace at which you would like to move.
From hand-cut garnishes to quiet glass-polishing rituals, small, repeated details create an atmosphere of considered ease.
A final, memorable flourish on every glass.
Hand-foraged herbs, carefully dried citrus, house-dehydrated fruit, and perfumed oils are prepared in small batches. Garnishes are chosen for structure and aroma, not spectacle, so that each sip evolves as the glass warms.
Sophisticated hospitality is inseparable from care. We pour with precision, encourage balanced pacing, and are always prepared to recommend lower-alcohol or zero-proof options to match your plans for the evening.
Our team is trained in the responsible service of alcohol in Australia and empowered to support guests with subtle, respectful guidance throughout their time with us.
We invite you to enjoy the full experience of The Feast and The Final Fold, always with balance, clarity, and ease.
From pre-dinner cocktails to late-night salon sessions.
