About Aster Cocktail & Wine

Climbing the stairs above Tattersalls Lane trades the street rumble for a working fireplace, exposed brick, and drinks without pretension. Night owls slip upstairs from Section 8 for the hearth—or claim the balcony looking directly down over the alleyway below. Behind the wood, the crew brings effortless hospo warmth alongside bespoke mocktails, winter mulled wine, and the house pink drink poured with a sweet treat on top.

  • Hearth & Heritage Loft: Exposed brick, low candlelight, and an active heritage fireplace create a warm refuge above the city chill.
  • Tattersalls Lane Balcony: An outdoor terrace looks straight down into Section 8, catching the pulse of the alley below.
  • Inventive House Cocktails: Rounds range from Japanese-inspired mixes and spiced mulled wine to custom pours crowned with tiny snack garnishes.
  • Attentive Bar Hospitality: Bartenders read guest palates on the fly, pairing bespoke recommendations with easy familiarity.

    A tranquil second-floor escape perched above the noise of Chinatown and Section 8, designed for relaxed conversation.

Before you head over

Essential tips for visiting Tattersalls Lane's loft hideaway—reserve your table in advance to secure an intimate evening.

  • Stair-Only Access

    The intimate second-floor space is reached via flights of stairs with no lift, so factor in the walk up from Tattersalls Lane.

  • Arrive Early for Seating

    With room for only around 20 to 30 people, seats fill quickly during peak hours; arrive on the earlier side or order at the bar while waiting for space to clear.

  • Off-Menu Guidance and Mocktails

    If you are unsure what to drink or prefer zero-proof options, trust the bartenders to read your palate and craft tailored concoctions. Book your table ahead to lock in your spot by the hearth.
