About Dom's Social Club

Up a Swanston Street staircase, Dom’s Social Club stacks three floors into one seamless night—first-floor pizzeria, second-level pool bar, and an open rooftop. Sourdough pies emerge blistered from the wood oven, sporting a puffed cornicione and toppings like mortadella finished with fermented honey. Regulars make a beeline for that slice alongside tumblers of chilled Lambrusco. Once dinner winds down, the room drifts up the stairs to shoot pool under low pub lamps or carry drinks out beneath the city skyline.

  • Wood-Fired Pizza: Wood-fired sourdough bases sporting charred spots, topped with combinations like mortadella with fermented honey, diavola, and anchovy.
  • Three Distinct Levels: A vertical setup moving between a first-floor dining room, a casual pool-table bar, and an open-air rooftop.
  • Aperitivo & Lambrusco: Italian-leaning selections featuring chilled Lambrusco, tap beers, and house cocktails designed to match the food.

Before you head over

Key practical advice to navigate your visit seamlessly—book ahead to guarantee your table.

  • Spotting the Entrance

    Dom's is tucked above street level on the first floor of Swanston Street and can be easy to pass by—look for the entry doorway leading upstairs.

  • Booking Ahead

    Peak dinner slots and Friday nights fill quickly; early walk-ins may face strict table time cutoffs, so booking in advance is strongly recommended.

  • Stair-Only Access

    Reaching the dining room, pool bar, and rooftop involves navigating several flights of stairs, as the multi-level heritage building has no lift or elevator access.
