About Antique Bar

Low lighting, plush booths, and vintage trim set Antique Bar apart—an easy Elsternwick pick for late rounds and milestone parties. Regulars keep it in their top Melbourne rotation for good reason. The hospo crew works the floor with genuine warmth, whether pouring creamy pints of Guinness or shaking up white chocolate passionfruit cocktails. Bar food stays unfussy: crisp pepperoni and three-cheese toasties hot off the press, or local Italian plates delivered directly to the booth. Upstairs, the private Cotton Club room handles celebrations with dedicated bar staff, projector hookups, and tailored platters.

  • Signature Cocktails & Pints: Sip signature white chocolate passionfruit cocktails, classic house drinks, or an expertly poured pint of Guinness.
  • Toasties & Table Delivery: Order bar-pressed three-cheese and pepperoni toasties, or have neighborhood Italian dishes run straight to your booth.
  • The Cotton Club Room: A dedicated upstairs party space complete with projector connectivity, loaded platters, and private bar staffing.
  • Value-Led Happy Hour: Competitive drink pricing and early evening happy hour specials ease the start to the weekend.
